A method to create assembly of polydiacetylene vesicles on solid substrates in a novel fashion is described. The formation of the assembly is based on electrostatic layer-by-layer deposition using negatively charged 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) vesicles and polyelectrolyte polyethylenimine, or positively charged PCDA-2(')-aminoethylamide (PCDANH2) vesicles. This is an efficient method for preparing the chromatic sensor films of polydiacetylene vesicles after ultraviolet light irradiation. The strategy would be useful in the development of polydiacetylene-based chemosensors and biosensors. 相似文献
In this contribution, we report the relationship between molecular structures of polydiacetylene (PDA) vesicles, fabricated by using three monomers, 10,12-tricosadiynoic acid (TCDA), 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) and N-(2-aminoethyl)pentacosa-10,12-diynamide (AEPCDA), and their color-transition behaviors. The modification of side chain length and head group of the PDA vesicles strongly affects the colorimetric response to temperature, ethanol and pH. A shorter side chain of poly(TCDA) yields weaker inter- and intra-chain dispersion interactions in the bilayers compared to the system of poly(PCDA), which in turn results in a faster color transition upon exposure to all stimuli. A change of head group in poly(AEPCDA) slightly reduces the transition temperature. Interestingly, the colorimetric response of poly(AEPCDA) vesicles to the addition of ethanol is found to occur in a two-step fashion while the response of poly(PCDA) vesicles takes place in a one-step process. The amount of ethanol required for inducing complete color-transition of poly(AEPCDA) vesicles is also much higher, about 87% v/v. The increase of pH to ~9 and ~10 causes a color-transition of poly(TCDA) and poly(PCDA) vesicles, respectively. The poly(AEPCDA) vesicles, on the other hand, change color upon decreasing pH to ~0. The colorimetric response also occurs in a multi-step fashion. These discrepancies are attributed to the architecture of surface layers of poly(AEPCDA), constituting amine and amide groups separated by ethyl linkers. 相似文献
A series of ethylene glycol (EG), triethylene glycol (3EG) and pentaethylene glycol (5EG) esters of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) are synthesized. The glycol ester lipids can be hydrated and well dispersed in water but they cannot form polydiacetylenes upon UV irradiation. They however can be mixed with PCDA up to 30 mol% and polymerized to form blue sols. The mixed polydiacetylene sols show blue to red thermochromic transition with two-stepped transition temperatures. The first transition temperature decreases with the increase of the glycol ester content as well as the length of their chains indicating greater fluidity of the self-assembled structure due to less collaborative hydrogen bonding among the lipid head groups. These mixed polydiacetylene sol prepared from 30 mol% of the penta(ethylene glycol) ester show linear colorimetric response selectively to Pb2+ in the range of 5-30 μM. 相似文献
"Naked eye" color detection of proteins was achieved by embedding calixarene receptors within vesicles comprising phospholipids and the chromatic polymer polydiacetylene. Dramatic visible absorbance changes were induced through electrostatic interactions between the protein surface and the vesicle-incorporated hosts. The colorimetric responses could be induced by micromolar protein concentrations, and furthermore, specific protein fingerprints could be obtained by incorporating different receptors within the vesicles. Fluorescence and circular dichroism experiments confirmed the relationship between the colorimetric phenomena and protein docking on the surface of the chromatic vesicles. The colorimetric assay constitutes a generic platform for high-sensitivity detection of soluble proteins and for evaluation of protein surface charge distribution. 相似文献
In this study, a pseudodouble-chained ion pair amphiphile, hexadecyltrimethylammonium-dodecylsulfate (HTMA-DS), was prepared from a mixture of cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate. Positively charged catanionic vesicles were then successfully fabricated from HTMA-DS with the addition of cationic surfactants, dialkyldimethylammonium bromide (DXDAB), including ditetradecyldimethylammonium bromide (DTDAB), dihexadecyldimethylammonium bromide, and dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB), with a mechanical disruption approach. The control of charge characteristic and physical stability of the catanionic vesicles through the variations of DXDAB molar fraction and alkyl chain length was then explored by size, zeta potential, and Fourier transform infrared analyses. It was found that the molecular packing and/or molecular interaction of HTMA-DS with DXDAB rather than the electrostatic repulsion between the charged vesicles dominated the physical stability of the mixed HTMA-DS/DXDAB vesicles. The presence of DTDAB, which possesses short alkyl chains, could adjust the packing of the unmatched chains of HTMA+ and DS? and promote the vesicle formation. However, the weak molecular interaction due to the short chains of DTDA+ could not maintain the vesicle structures in long-term storage. With increasing the alkyl chain length of DXDAB, it was possible to improve the vesicle physical stability through the enhanced molecular interaction in the vesicular bilayer. However, the long alkyl chains of DODAB unmatched with those of HTMA-DS, resulting in the vesicle disintegration in long-term storage. For the formation of stable charged catanionic vesicles of HTMA-DS/DXDAB, a good match in hydrophobic chains and strong molecular interaction were preferred for the vesicle-forming molecules. 相似文献
A new approach of chromatic immunoassay based on polydiacetylene vesicles is described. Antibodies were covalently coupled with mixed vesicles of 10,12-tricosadiynoic acid (TCDA) and dimyristoylphosphatidycholine (DMPC). The vesicle-antibody conjugates were irradiated with UV light to yield a blue-colored polydiacetylene. After antigen injection, specific immunoreactions took place at the vesicle surface alter polydiacetylene conformation and lead to a color change from blue to red. The chromatic immunoassay described here is simple, rapid, sensitive; the color change was readily discernible by naked eye when the concentration of antigen is 1 ng/mL. Incorporation of DMPC in the mixed vesicles increases the sensitivity of the chromatic immunoassay. 相似文献
To understand and control the interfacial properties of polydiacetylenes (PDAs) vesicles with π-conjugated backbone is very important for their colorimetric sensing of chemical and biological targets. In this work, we adopted 10, 12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) as the model molecule to prepare PDAs vesicles in aqueous solution with different forms (from monomer to blue-to-purple-to-red phase) by controlling the UV irradiation dose. The variations of the interfacial conformation of PDAs vesicles during chromatic transitions were inspected by the adsorption behaviors of probe molecules (4-(4-diethylaminostyry)-1-methylpyridinium iodide, D289) on vesicle surface with surface-specific second harmonic generation (SHG) and zeta potential measurements. Resonant SHG signal from D289 adsorbed on vesicle surface attenuated sharply, and the adsorption free energy as well as the corresponding two-photon fluorescence signal decreased slightly in chromatic transitions. While, the change in the surface density of the adsorbed D289 molecules for PDAs vesicles with different forms was relatively small as estimated from zeta potential measurements. The attenuation of the SHG intensity was thus attributed to the overall order-disorder transition and the changed orientation of D289 molecules caused by the gradual distortion of carboxyl head group driven by backbone perturbation. 相似文献
Achiral diacetylene 10,12-pentacosadinoic acid (PCDA) and a chiral low-molecular-weight organogelator could form co-gel in organic solvent and it could be polymerized in the presence of Zn(II) ion or in the corresponding xerogel under UV-irradiation. Optically active polydiacetylene (PDA) were subsequently obtained. Supramolecular chirality of PDA could be controlled by the chirality of gelators. Left-handed and right-handed helical fibers were obtained by using Land D-gelators in xerogels respectively, and... 相似文献
In this paper, the size effect of the polydiacetylene vesicles functionalized with glycolipids on their colorimetric detection ability has been studied. Polydiacetylene vesicles in which were incorporated glycolipids acted as a model system for the affinochromatic property. Visible color changes from blue to red could be observed to the naked eye owing to Con A binding to the sugar moiety and be detected quantitatively by the visible absorption spectrum. In the experiment, small and uniform vesicles were obtained after extrusion through membranes with different pore sizes. The morphology and mean size distribution of the extruded vesicles were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), respectively. Our work shows that the smaller the vesicles are, the stronger is the effect, making the detection of Con A easier. The results may apply to the sensitivity enhancement of polydiacetylene biosensors for the recognition of other biomolecules. 相似文献
Glass-supported films of lipids and polydiacetylene were applied for visual detection and colorimetric fingerprinting of bacteria. The sensor films comprise polydiacetylene domains serving as the chromatic reporter interspersed within lipid monolayers that function as a biomimetic membrane platform. The detection schemes are based on either visible blue-red transitions or fluorescence transformations of polydiacetylene, induced by amphiphilic molecules secreted by proliferating bacteria. An important feature of the new film platform is the feasibility of either naked-eye detection of bacteria or color analysis using conventional scanners. Furthermore, we find that the degrees of bacterially induced color transformations depend both on the bacterial strains examined and the lipid compositions of the films. Accordingly, bacterial fingerprinting can be achieved through pattern recognition obtained by recording the chromatic transformations in an array of lipid/PDA films having different lipid components. 相似文献
The solubilization of water in w/o microemulsions formed with mixed-surfactants containing one anionic and one cationic surfactant and alcohol was studied as a function of alkyl chain length of oil (C6 to C16), mixed-surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB, or cetylpyridinium bromide CPB), and alcohol (1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol). The results show that the solubilization of water in microemulsion systems increases significantly with the mixed-surfactants due to the synergistic effect resulting from the strong Coulombic interactions between cationic and anionic surfactants and the solubilizing efficiency increases as the chain length or concentration of alcohol increases. With increasing the oil chain length the solubilization for water increases, decreases, and has the chain length compatibility effect when the systems contain 1-hexanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, respectively. The total solubilizing capacity increases as the surfactant concentration (keep the ratio of SDS to butanol constant) increases. 相似文献
The membranes of polydiacetylene backbone decorated with mannose assembled by Langmuir–Blodgett technology can interact with Escherichia coli. The interactions lead to the color transition of the membranes which was readily visible to the naked eyes and could be quantified by visible absorption spectroscopy. To understand the mechanism of the chromatic transition, the affinochromism properties of polydiacetylene were examined by resonance Raman spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that the side chains of polymer backbone performed rearrangement, and the electronic structure in the polymer backbone changed from acetylene to butatriene form when the chromatic transformation from blue to red. The direct colorimetric detection by polydiacetylene membranes not only opens a new path for the use of these membranes in the area of biosensor development but also offers new possibilities for diagnostic applications and screening for binding ligand. 相似文献
Utilizing the colorimetric and fluorogenic changes, a system based on polydiacetylenes (PDAs) is developed for the detection of neomycin. The PDA supramolecules polymerized from the mixed liposome composed of N‐(3‐hydroxyphenyl)pentacosa‐10,12‐diynamide (PCDA‐AP) and pentacosa‐10,12‐diynoic acid (PCDA) at an optimized ratio of 1:9 display a unique colorimetric change (blue to red) and fluorescent enhancement in the presence of neomycin. The detection limit for neomycin is estimated to be 2.55 × 10−7 M by the fluorogenic method. The optical changes induced by neomycin can be attributed to the disruption of the hydrogen bonding between phenol and carboxylic acid from PCDA‐AP and PCDA.
The phase behavior and aggregate structures of mixtures of the oppositely charged surfactants cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) are explored at high dilution by pulsed field gradient stimulated echo (PFG-STE) NMR. The aggregation numbers and hydrodynamic radii of vesicles and mixed micelles were determined by a combination of viscosity and self-diffusion coefficient measurements. The average size of the mixed micelles was larger than that of micelles containing uniformly charged head groups. Analysis of the variations of the self-diffusion coefficient and viscosity with changing concentration of CTAB or SDS in the cationic-rich and anionic-rich regions revealed a phase transition from vesicles to mixed micelles. Differences in the lengths of the CTAB and SDS hydrophobic chains stabilize vesicles relative to other microstructures (e.g., liquid crystalline and precipitate phase), and vesicles form spontaneously over a wide range of compositions in both cationic-rich and anionic-rich solutions. The results obtained from conductometry measurements confirmed this transition. Finally, according to the capacitor model, a new model was developed for estimating the surface potentials and electrostatic free energy (g(elec)). Then we investigated the variations of electrostatic and transfer free energy in phase transition between mixed micelle and vesicle. 相似文献
A new system for the colorimetric detection of oligonucleotides was developed using polydiacetylene vesicles, which play the dual role of an indicator of color transition and an amplification tag. The results are of significance in understanding the mechanism of color transition of biological recognition in polydiacetylene systems and in designing new biosensors. 相似文献
A new detection scheme for catecholamines was constructed through embedding synthetic receptors within vesicles comprising phospholipids and polydiacetylene. Fluorescence emission of the polydiacetylene was induced through specific interactions between the soluble ligands and the vesicle-incorporated hosts. The system demonstrated remarkable selectivity among structurally similar ligands and achieved much lower detection thresholds compared to that of other reported catecholamine sensors. The chromatic assembly provides a generic route for high sensitivity detection of ligand-receptor interactions. 相似文献
We present polydiacetylene (PDA) liposome assemblies with various phospholipids that have different headgroup charges and phase transition temperatures (T(m)). 10,12-Pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA)-epoxy was used as a base PDA monomer and the insertion of highly charged phospholipids resulted in notable changes in the size of liposome and reduction of the aggregation of PDA liposome. Among the various phospholipids, the phospholipid with a moderate T(m) demonstrated enhanced stability and sensitivity, as measured by the size and zeta potential over storage time, thermochoromic response, and transmission electron microscopy images. By combining these results, we were able to detect immunologically an antibody of bovine viral diarrhea virus over a wide dynamic range of 0.001 to 100 μg/mL. 相似文献
The effect of the phase ratio on the electrophoretic and chromatographic properties of unilamellar vesicles comprised of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium octyl sulfate (SOS) was investigated in EKC. The surfactant concentration of the vesicles was 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, and 1.8% w/v, with a mole ratio of 1:3.66 (CTAB/SOS). Results were compared to those obtained using SDS micelles at concentrations of 1.0% (w/v, 35 mM) and 1.5% (52 mM). The CTAB/SOS vesicles (0.9-1.8% w/v) provided a significantly larger elution range (5.7 < or = t(ves)/t(0) < or = 8.7) and greater hydrophobic (methylene) selectivity (2.8 < or = alpha(CH2) < or = 3.1) than SDS micelles (3.1 < or = t(mc)/t(0) < or = 3.3; alpha(CH2) = 2.2). Whereas the larger elution range can be attributed to the 25% reduction in EOF due to the interaction of unaggregated CTAB cations and the negatively charged capillary wall, the higher methylene selectivity is likely due to the lower concentration of water expected in the CTAB/SOS vesicle bilayer compared to the Palisades layer of SDS micelles. For a given phase ratio, CTAB/SOS vesicles are somewhat less retentive than SDS micelles, although retention factors comparable to those observed in 1.0-1.5% SDS can be obtained with 1.5-1.8% CTAB/SOS. A linear relationship was observed between phase ratio and retention factor, confirming the validity of the phase ratio model for these vesicles. Unique polar group selectivities and positional isomer shape selectivities were obtained with CTAB/SOS vesicles, with both types of selectivities being nearly independent of the phase ratio. For four sets of positional isomers, the elution order was always para < ortho < meta. Finally, the thermodynamics of solute retention was qualitatively similar to that reported for other surfactant aggregates (micelles and microemulsions); the enthalpic contribution to retention was consistently favorable for all compounds, whereas the entropic contribution was favorable only to hydrophobic solutes. 相似文献
