Mammalian alkaline phosphatases (AP) are glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored proteins that are localized on the outer layer of the plasma membrane. The GPI anchors are covalently attached to the C-termini of proteins and consist of a glycan chain bonded to phosphatidylinositol with two acyl chains anchored into the membrane bilayer. Force spectroscopy, based on atomic force microscope (AFM) technology, was used to determine the adhesion of alkaline phosphatase in the absence and presence of anchors. The GPI anchors increase markedly the adhesion frequency (i.e., the protein affinity for the membrane). An adhesion force of 350 +/- 200 pN is measured between GPI-anchored AP (AP(GPI)) and supported phospholipid bilayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) presenting structural defects (holes). In the absence of defects, the adhesion force (103 +/- 17 pN) and the adhesion frequency are reduced. These results indicate that AP(GPI) poorly spontaneously insert into membranes in vivo and open new perspectives for the characterization of the interactions between GPI proteins and membranes.  相似文献

Two reaction schemes were developed to covalently graft poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains on poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (EAA) surfaces. The schemes involved surface grafting of linker molecules L-lysine or polypropyleneamine dendrimer (AM64), with subsequent covalent bonding of PEG chains to the linker molecules. NHS and EDC were used to activate the carboxylic acid groups of the EAA in the outermost region of the film, estimated to be 20 nm by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. XPS demonstrated that the conversion of this activation step was almost 100% in the detected region. After activation, L-lysine or dendrimer was grafted onto the EAA surface, followed by PEG grafting. Combining the data from ATR-FTIR, XPS, and contact angle goniometry, it was found that the PEG chains were grafted on the surface of the EAA film and larger surface coverage was achieved when the dendrimer was used as the intermediate layer. This surface also had the lowest water contact angle.  相似文献

We report a simple modification of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surfaces with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) through the adsorption of a graft copolymer, poly(l-lysine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) from aqueous solution. In this approach, the PDMS surface was treated with oxygen plasma, followed by immersion into aqueous solution containing PLL-g-PEG copolymers. Due to the hydroxyl/carboxylic groups generated on the PDMS surface after oxygen plasma, the polycationic PLL backbone is attracted to the negatively charged surface and PEG side chains exhibit an extended structure. The PEG/aqueous interface generated in this way revealed a near-perfect resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption as monitored by means of optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS) and fluorescence microscopy.  相似文献

Sol-gel coating with covalently bonded low-molecular-weight (MW<300 Da) poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains was developed for capillary microextraction (CME). The sol-gel chemistry proved effective in the immobilization of low-molecular-weight PEGs thanks to the formation of chemical bonds between the organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel PEG coating and the fused silica capillary inner surface. This chemical anchorage provided excellent thermal and solvent stability to the created sol-gel PEG coating as is evidenced by its high upper limit of allowable conditioning temperature (340 degrees C) and its practically identical performance before and after rinsing with various solvents. The prepared sol-gel PEG coating provided simultaneous extraction of moderately polar and highly polar analytes from aqueous samples without requiring derivatization, pH adjustment or salting-out procedures. Detection limits on the order of nanogram per liter (ng/L) were achieved in CME-GC-flame ionization detection experiments designed for the preconcentration and trace analysis of both highly polar and moderately polar compounds extracted directly from aqueous media using sol-gel short-chain PEG coated microextraction capillaries.  相似文献

A method for the preparation of highly conductive and stable organic-inorganic nanocomposite polyelectrolyte membranes with controlled spacing between inorganic segment and covalently bound sulfonic acid functional groups has been established. These polyelectrolyte membranes were prepared by condensation polymerization of the silica precursor (tetraethylorthosilicate) in dimethylacetamide in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of desired molecular weight, and sulfonated poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) was attached to the polymeric backbone by hydrogen bonding. Molecular weight of PEG has been systematically changed to control the nanostructure of the developed polymer matrix for studying the effects of molecular structure on the thermal as well as conductive properties. These polyelectrolyte membranes were extensively characterized by studying their thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), ion-exchange capacity (IEC), water content, conductivity, methanol permeability, and current-voltage polarization curves under direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) operating conditions as a function of silica content and molecular weight of PEG used for membrane preparation. Moreover, from these studies and estimation of selectivity parameter among all synthesized membranes, 30% silica content and 400 Da molecular weight of PEG resulted in the best nanocomposite polyelectrolyte membranes, which exhibited performance comparable to that of the Nafion 117 membrane for DMFC applications.  相似文献

Amphiphilic graft copolymers comprising poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (PPESK) backbones and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains were synthesized and blended into PPESK casting solutions to prepare hydrophilic and anti-fouling microporous membranes. The graft copolymer was prepared by a modified Williamson etherification method. Sodium alkoxide of methoxyl PEG (PEG-ONa) was used to react with chloromethylated PPESK (CMPPESK). FT-IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR and solid-state 13C CP-MAS NMR analysis confirmed the covalent linking of PEG with PPESK backbones. The incorporation ratio of PEG calculated from 1H NMR was in agreement with that from TGA tests. The graft products were added into PPESK casting solutions to prepare composite porous membranes using phase inversion method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle examinations indicated that the grafting copolymers were preferentially excluded to the membrane-coagulant interface during membrane forming, contributing the membranes with improved hydrophilicity and surface wettability. Compared with the neat membrane, the blend membranes exhibited a larger surface pore size and less susceptible to protein fouling.  相似文献

These studies demonstrate a new approach of producing multifunctionalized coatings on poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) surfaces by covalent attachments of multilayers (CAM) of heparin (HP) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). This process can be universally applied to other covalently bonded species and was facilitated by microwave plasma reactions in the presence of maleic anhydride which, upon ring-opening and hydrolysis, provided covalent attachment of COOH groups to PTFE. These studies showed that alternating layers of PEG and HP can be covalently attached to COOH-PTFE surfaces, and the volume concentration and surface density of PEG and HP on the PTFE surface achieved by the CAM were 7.02-6.04 × 10(-3) g/cm(3) (2.1-1.8 × 10(-7) g/cm(2)) and 9.3-8.7 × 10(-3) g/cm(3) (2.8-2.6 × 10(-7) g/cm(2)), respectively. The CAM process may serve numerous applications when the covalent modification of inert polymeric substrates is required and particularly where the presence of bioactive species for biocompatibility enhancement is desirable.  相似文献

The attachment of antibodies to substrate surfaces is useful for achieving specific detection of antigens and toxins associated with clinical and field diagnostics. Here, acrylated whole antibodies were produced through conjugation chemistry, with the goal of covalently photografting these proteins from surfaces in a controlled fashion, to facilitate rapid and sensitive antigenic detection. A living radical photopolymerization chemistry was used to graft the acrylated whole antibodies on polymer surfaces at controlled densities and spatial locations by controlling the exposure time and area, respectively. Copolymer grafts containing these antibodies were synthesized to demonstrate two principles. First, PEG functionalities were introduced to prevent nonspecific protein interactions and improve the reaction kinetics by increasing solvation and mobility of the antibody-containing chains. Both of these properties lead to sensitive (pM) and rapid (<20 min) detection of antigens with this surface modification technique. Second, graft composition was tailored to include multiple antibodies on the same grafted chains, establishing a means for simultaneously detecting multiple antigens on one grafted surface area. Finally, the addition of PEG spacers between the acrylate functionality and the pendant detection antibodies was tuned to enhance the detection of a short-half-life molecule, glucagon, in a complex biological environment, plasma.  相似文献

Surface-assisted Ullmann coupling was widely applied to construct various molecular nanostructures on surfaces due to its reliability and controllability. By using 4,4′′-dichloro-1,1′:3′,1′′-terphenyl (DCTP) as the precursor, covalently bonded zig-zag oligophenylene chains and hexagonal hyperbenzene rings, e. g., [18]-honeycombenes, were successfully fabricated on Ag(111) via dechlorinated Ullmann coupling reaction. Stepwise annealing was applied to investigate the reaction process in detail. Scanning tunneling microscopy and synchrotron X-ray photoemission spectroscopy were utilized to explore the thermal evolution of the DCTP molecules on Ag(111) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, evidencing the existence of intact DCTP molecules, chemisorbed Cl atoms, covalently bonded DCTP dimers as well as organometallic C−Ag−C-containing intermediates. These results may help understand dechlorinated Ullmann coupling reaction of aryl chlorides on metal surfaces.  相似文献

Freestanding, ion conducting, membranes were synthesized by incorporating triazole-containing tetracyclosiloxanes into a polyethylene glycol-tetraethyl orthosilicate (PEG-TEOS) based sol-gel matrix. These membranes show comparable or higher proton conductivities than their linear, liquid, polysiloxane analogs and fall within an order of magnitude of the target ion mobilities for use in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC's). The absence of any unbound PEG or cyclic siloxane was confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), while the chemical structure and composition of the membranes was corroborated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that the membranes are stable up to 180°C and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed complete suppression of PEG crystallization after incorporation of the triazole-functionalized cyclosiloxanes. An increase in the molecular weight of the PEG chains used to create the sol-gel matrix produced membranes with increased flexibility and higher proton conductivities at temperatures below 100 °C. Pulse field gradient echo (PFG) NMR studies showed an increase in the apparent diffusion coefficient of the sol-gel threaded cyclosiloxane motifs compared to the linear polysiloxanes, indicating a significant reduction on the coupling between mechanical strength and ion transport capability.  相似文献

Dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and N-biotinyl-dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (bDOPE) were covalently bonded to polystyrene surfaces by exposure to argon radio frequency (RF) plasmas. Characterization by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) for P-, N- and O-contents revealed net increases in oxygen species, but no significant changes in P/N ratios due to the different plasma treatments. Plasma-immobilized bDOPE was shown to bind avidin by affinity interactions. Nonspecific adsorption of avidin was comparable on plasma-immobilized DOPC and bDOPE-DOPC mixed-lipid coatings.  相似文献

This work presents the grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the SiO2 nanoparticles by the use of the azo‐groups bonded SiO2 as a radical initiator and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) as a macromonomer, respectively. Then a kind of organic–inorganic composite particles with brush‐like PEG fixed covalently on the SiO2 nanoparticles, SiO2–PEG, is synthesized. The successful synthesis of SiO2–PEG is confirmed by FT‐IR, XPS, and TEM techniques. Results show that the conversion degree of PEGMA can reach nearly 30% while the PEG graft amount accounts for ca. 43% of the total weight of the composite particles. After the PEG is grafted on the SiO2 nanoparticles, the mobility of PEG chains is hindered by the proximity of oxide phase of SiO2. As a result, PEG phase is strongly disturbed. Consequently, the grafted PEG melts at a low temperature with small quantity of heat enthalpy. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

The segmental dynamics of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains adsorbed on the clay platelets within nanocomposite PEG/Laponite hydrogels was investigated over the tens of microseconds time scale, using combined solution and solid-state NMR approaches. In a first step, the time evolution of the molecular mobility displayed by the PEG chains following the addition to a Laponite aqueous dispersion was monitored during the aggregation of the clay disks and the hydrogel formation, by means of (1)H solution-state NMR. Part of the PEG repeat units were found to get strongly constrained during the gelation process. Comparisons between this time evolution of the PEG local dynamics in the PEG/Laponite/water systems and the increase of the macroscopic storage shear modulus, mainly governed by the assembling of the Laponite disks, indicate that the slowing down of the segmental motions arises from adsorbed PEG repeat units or chain portions strongly constrained between aggregated clay layers. In a second step, after completion of the gelation process, the molecular motions of the adsorbed PEG chains were probed by (1)H solid-state NMR spectroscopy. (1)H double-quantum experiments indicate that the adsorbed PEG repeat units, though reported to be frozen over a few tens of nanoseconds, still display significant reorientational motions over the tens of microseconds time scale. Using a comparison with a model system of amorphized PEG chains, the characteristic frequency of these segmental motions was found to range between 78.0 kHz and 100.7 MHz at 300 K. Interestingly, at this temperature, the level of reorientational motions detected for these adsorbed PEG chain portions was found to be as restricted as the one of bulk amorphous PEG chains, cooled at a slightly lower temperature (about 290 K).  相似文献

Several benzophenone‐ and thioxanthone‐based photosensitizers (PSs) were covalently bonded to hydroxyalkylphenone‐ and aminoalkylphenone‐based photoinitiators (PIs) to enhance the rate of the excitation‐transfer effect due to the close vicinity of the PS to the PI. The properties of these new systems were investigated with UV spectroscopy and photo‐differential scanning calorimetry. Broadband irradiation experiments and selective excitation of the PS were carried out for the physical mixtures and covalently bonded PI/PS combinations to investigate the effect of excitation transfer. Selective excitation of the PS chromophore revealed that the energy transfer was significantly increased in covalently bonded initiators in comparison with the physical mixtures. This effect was most pronounced for the hydroxyalkylphenones that were sensitized by suitable benzophenone derivatives, especially at low PI concentrations. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The photophysical properties of the 5-(4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-tri(4-methyloxyphenyl)porphyrins covalently linked to polyethylene glycol – PEG of different molecular weights (35000, 20000 and 8000) dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide were studied. The singlet and triplet states of the porphyrin species behavior were discussed in terms of fluorescence and thermal relaxation processes. The absorption, fluorescence and photothermal experiments showed that in the porphyrins linked to the PEG systems in dimethylsulfoxide the dye moieties occur in weakly interacting dimers. The triplet state enhancement in the 5-(4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-tri(4-methyloxyphenyl)porphyrins covalently linked to PEG was discussed.It was shown that even that the weak interaction of the porphyrin species in the covalent systems with PEG is not detectable by the absorption and only slightly by fluorescence, it is possible to be performed by the complementary spectroscopic methods like photoacoustics and photothermal time resolved spectroscopy.  相似文献

In this work, the impact of lipid lateral mobility on the steric interaction between membranes containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) functionalized lipids was investigated using the surface force apparatus. The force-distance profiles show the presence of electrostatic and steric repulsion that arise from the presence of negatively charged PEG functionalized lipids. Fluid-phase bilayers have high lateral diffusion relative to gel-phase bilayers; however, a quantitative comparison of the interaction forces between membranes in these two different phase states demonstrates a reduced rate of diffusion in the fluid phase for the PEG-lipids under constrained geometries. Thus, the amount of polymer in the contact zone can be modulated and is reduced with fluid membranes; however, complete exclusion was not achieved. As a result, the steric repulsion afforded by PEG chains or binding affinity of ligated PEG chains can only be modestly tailored by the phase state of the liposome.  相似文献

Surface functionalization of the plasma‐pretreated polycarbonate (PC) track‐etched membranes via plasma‐induced thermally graft copolymerization of acrylic acid (AAc) was carried out. The resulting PC membranes with grafted AAc side chains were characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The morphology of the PC membranes was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the grafted PAAc polymers were formed uniformly inside the pores throughout the entire membrane thickness. With increase in the pore‐filling ratio, the pore diameters of PAAc‐grafted membranes became smaller. The PC‐g‐PAAc membranes exhibit rapid and reversible response of the flux to the environmental pH as pH is switched between 3 and 9. Between pH 3.5 and 5.5, the membranes demonstrate a pH‐valve function as the carboxyl group changes from neutral to charged with a corresponding variation in chain configuration.
