按照现代高分子凝聚态物理学观点,高分子溶液按浓度分为:极稀溶液、稀溶液、亚浓溶液、浓溶液、极浓溶液5个层次,各层次间的分界浓度分别称为动态接触浓度、接触浓度、缠结浓度和全高斯链浓度,其中全高斯链浓度由本文作者命名。文中给出各分界浓度的定义,介绍各分界浓度的物理意义,特别说明命名全高斯链浓度的依据。同时详细讨论了不同浓度溶液中大分子链的构象及其变化、链间相互作用的本质和微观图像、以及溶液浓度变化对溶液性质的影响。     

聚乙烯醇水溶液反复冷冻过程中的溶剂化效应

采用示差扫描量热技术(DSC)对聚乙烯醇(PVA)水溶液反复冰冻过程中的溶剂化效应进行研究.引入水化数的概念来表征溶剂化效应的大小.结果表明不同浓度区间的PVA水溶液其在反复冰冻过程中溶剂化效应显著不同,主要归因于高分子链分子内和分子间缠结程度对溶剂分子"参与"溶剂化的程度和方式的不同.作者把极稀高分子溶液的研究结果拓展到高分子稀溶液或亚浓溶液区间,阐述了高分子溶液中高分子链的物理图像.冷冻次数的增加导致链间缠结增加,部分溶剂则被包裹在由链间缠结点所形成的网圈内成为分子链的一部分.溶液溶剂化程度的变化受到包裹溶剂与高分子链脱溶剂化的综合影响.

Electrophoretic migration behavior of DNA fragments in polymer solution

A newly developed polymer coil shrinking theory is described and compared with the existing entangled solution theory to explain electrophoretic migration behaviour of DNA in hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) polymer solution in buffer containing 100 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane 100 mM boric acid, 2 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid at pH 8.3. The polymer coil shrinking theory gave a better model to explain the results obtained. The polymer coil shrinking concentration, Cs, was found to be 0.305% and the uniform entangled concentration, C+, 0.806%. The existence of three regions (the dilute, semidilute, and concentrated solution) at different polymer concentrations enables a better understanding of the system to guide the selection of the best conditions to separate DNA fragments. For separating large fragments (700/ 800 bp), dilute solutions (HPMC < 0.3%) should be used to achieve a short migration time (10 min). For small fragments (200/300 bp), concentrated solutions are preferred to obtain constant resolution and uniform separation. The best resolution is 0.6% HPMC due to a combined interaction of the polymer coils and the entangled structure. The possibility of DNA separation in semidilute solution is often neglected and the present results indicate that this region has a promising potential for analytical separation of DNA fragments.

Mannitol influence on the separation of DNA fragments by capillary electrophoresis in entangled polymer solutions

A new kind of sieving matrix is presented in this paper to allow satisfactory separation of DNA fragments in a relatively low viscous solution. When a certain amount of mannitol was added to cellulose solution not concentrated enough to separate PGEM-3Zf(+)/HaeIII standards well, a polymer solution with low viscosity but with very good separation effects was obtained. The separation result of this sieving buffer was comparable with those using highly concentrated cellulose solutions. The sieving ability of solutions with different cellulose concentrations and different amounts of mannitol has been investigated. It was proved that 0.5% was the minimum hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) concentration that could be used to separate DNA fragments satisfactorily. HPMC solutions with a concentration of less than 0.5% could not separate the standard DNA fragments even in the presence of mannitol. It was found that 6% was the optimized mannitol concentration because either more or less mannitol will lead a decrease of resolution. The principle of the positive influence of mannitol has also been discussed.

Structure of single and double stranded dna solutions as studied by ultracentrifugation

The osmotic pressure of dense solutions of DNA fragments in aqueous 0.2-2 M salt (NaCl, etc.) solutions were easily obtained from equilibrium ultracentrifugation data. Short, helical double stranded DNA fragment solutions showed a well defined ordering transition. The osmotic pressure of these helical solutions could be explained by the scaled particle theory of rigid sphero-cylinders. On the other hand, dense solutions of (single stranded) etheno-DNA derivatives (of about 100 nucleotides) showed no ordering phase transition. The osmotic pressure as a function of the ε-DNA concentration verifies a scaling prediction for random coils in the semi-dilute regime. Good fits to the reduced osmotic pressure are obtained by using the Kleintjens and Koningsveld modified mean field lattice gas equations of state. As inferred from the Zimm clustering function, essentially all intermolecular interactions at high ionic strength are purely repulsive.     

Kinetics of shrinking of polymer gels induced by ultracentrifugal fields

The kinetics of the shrinking of polymer gels induced by ultracentrifugal fields is investigated. A theory is proposed to describe the diffusion process of polymer networks under centrifugal fields. The initial shrinking rate is proportional to the ratio of the centrifugal force to the frictional force of networks. The shrinking attains the stationary state as a result of the balance between the centrifugal force and the swelling force of networks. The characteristic time for shrinking is of the order of a2/D where a and D are the stationary displacement and diffusion constant, respectively. We also present the experimental data for the shrinking of the poly(acrylamide) (PAAm) gels under ultracentrifugal fields. The shrinkage increases linearly with time in the initial stage whereas it reaches the steady state in the long time limit as expected by the theory. Each of longitudinal elastic modulus and friction coefficient of the PAAm gels is evaluated from the data on the basis of the theory.     

A design of nanosized PEGylated-latex mixed polymer solution for microchip electrophoresis

We report here advanced microchip electrophoresis using a nanoparticle doped polymer solution that enables greater separation of DNA. The proposed system is simple and effective without any new apparatus or complicated procedures. Various amounts and sizes (80 nm, 110 nm, and 193 nm) of polymer nanoparticle solutions (PEGylated-latex) were mixed with a conventional polymer solution for microchip electrophoresis. When a 0.49 wt% hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) buffer solution was mixed with a 2.25 wt% 80 nm-PEGylated-latex a higher separation efficiency and a higher mobility of a wider molecular range of dsDNA (10 bp to 2 kbp) was achieved under low viscosity conditions (<5.5 cP) than in conventional 0.7% HPMC. The separation performance was dependent on the particle size and concentration. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the larger PEGylated-latex (193 nm) was not as high as the smaller one (80 to 110 nm). The observed separation improvement by polymer solution with latex-nanoparticles seems to derive from the balance between wider polymer mesh size and the structural obstacles of particles in the buffer.     

Simplex maximization of the correlation coefficient for DNA sizing analysis by capillary electrophoresis

The separation of DNA molecules in polymeric solution by capillary electrophoresis involves the optimization of several variables, such as polymer solution concentration, electric field separation, temperature, etc. The optimization of each variable individually usually is a time-consuming process and the results may reach a false optimum point. Chemometric methods are suitable to be applied in such cases in which a number of variables can be optimized simultaneously. The simplex is a chemometric method that can perform such a task easily and efficiently. In this study, a simplex method was carried out to maximize the correlation coefficient (r(2)) of a logarithmic plot of mobility (mu) vs. base pair (bp), which was obtained from the separation of DNA fragments of size between 75 and 4072 bp. The simplex showed three vertexes with r(2) > 0.98 and the vertex 21 showing the highest resolution. For the fragments between 201 and 2036 bp, the r(2) increased to 0.992 with and relative standard deviation (RSD) lower than 0.2% (inter- and intra-day variation). The precision of the method in determining the size of a PCR DNA fragment was carried out using a 1 kbp DNA ladder. With the addition of an internal standard to the sample, the precision could be further improved.
