Evaluation of band broadening in chemiluminescence detection coupled to pressurized capillary electrochromatography with an off-column coaxial flow interface

A system of off-column coaxial flow chemiluminescence (CL) detection coupled to pressurized CEC (pCEC) was described. The interface utilized a reactor that introduced postcolumn CL reagent into the capillary effluents in a sheathing flow profile. To compare and evaluate band broadening of analytes caused by the detector, the typical CL compounds luminol and N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI) were separated and detected by pCEC or capillary HPLC (cHPLC) coupled to CL and UV detector, respectively. The results demonstrated that the band broadening caused by off-column detection interface was minimized due to the fast kinetic nature of the CL reaction. With the proposed pCEC-CL system, the detection limits of luminol and ABEI were 1.0x10(-8) and 8.0x10(-8) mol/L, respectively, which were approximately 100-fold more sensitive than those obtained with UV absorption. In addition, separation and detection of the ABEI-labeled L-lysine (L-Lys) and L-arginine (L-Arg) were accomplished by pCEC-CL method based on the principle of ABEI-potassium ferricyanide-alkaline medium CL reaction system. Under the optimum conditions, good results could be achieved compared with pCEC-UV.

Selective Oxidation of Aldehyde over Hydroxymethyl Group Catalyzed by Gold Nanoparticles in Aqueous Phase

A protocol for selectively oxidizing aldehyde over hydroxymethyl group is developed, using biomass starch protected gold nanoparticles (NPs) as catalyst. The Au NPs show high selectivity that aldehyde is oxidized into carboxylic acid while alcoholic hydroxyl group stays intact in selective oxidation of 4-(hydroxymethyl)-benzaldehyde. The heterogeneous catalysis system is composed of soluble catalysts and insoluble substrate. The gold catalyst is prepared, preserved and applied for catalytic oxidation all in water. After reaction conditions are optimized, H\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}O\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} is found to be the best oxidizing agent with complete conversion. Besides, the gold catalyst displays good versitility for aldehyde derivatives.

Enzymatic Synthesis of Agmatine by Immobilized Escherichia coli Cells with Arginine Decarboxylase Activity

A new method for the enzymatic synthesis of agmatine by immobilized Escherichia coli cells with arginine decarboxylase(ADC) activity was established and a series of optimal reaction conditions was set down. The arginine decarboxylase showed the maximum activity when the pyridoxal phosphate(PLP) concentration was 50 mmol/L, pH=7 and 45 °C. The arginine decarboxylase exhibited the maximum production efficiency when the substrate concentration was 100 mmol/L and the reaction time was 15 h. It was also observed that the appropriate concentration of Mg2+, especially at 0.5 mmol/L promoted the arginine decarboxylase activity; Mn2+ had little effect on the arginine decarboxylase activity. The inhibition of Cu2+ and Zn2+ to the arginine decarboxylase activity was significant. The immobilized cells were continuously used 6 times and the average conversion rate during the six-time usage was 55.6%. The immobilized cells exhibited favourable operational stability. After optimization, the maximally cumulative amount of agmatine could be up to 20 g/L. In addition, this method can also catalyze D,L-arginine to agmatine, leaving the pure optically D-arginine simultaneously. The method has a very important guiding significance to the enzymatic preparation of agmatine.     

Highly Efficient and Selective Removal of Pb(II) ions by Sulfur-Containing Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles

A facile one-step co-precipitation method was demonstrated to fabricate amorphous sulfurcontaining calcium phosphate (SCP) nanoparticles, in which the sulfur group was in-situ introduced into calcium phosphate. The resulting SCP exhibited a noticeable enhanced performance for Pb(II) removal in comparison with hydroxyapatite (HAP), being capable of easily reducing 20 ppm of Pb(II) to below the acceptable standard for drinking water within less than 10 min. Remarkably, the saturated removal capacities of Pb(II) on SCP were as high as 1720.57 mg/g calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model, exceeding largely that of the previously reported absorbents. Significantly, SCP displayed highly selective removal ability toward Pb(II) ions in the presence of the competing metal ions (Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)). Further investigations indicated that such ultra-high removal efficiency and preferable affinity of Pb(II) ions on SCP may be reasonably ascribed to the formation of rodlike hydroxypyromorphite crystals on the surface of SCP via dissolution-precipitation and ion exchange reactions, accompanied by the presence of lead sulfide precipitates. High removal efficiency, fast removal kinetics and excellent selectivity toward Pb(II) made the obtained SCP material an ideal candidate for Pb(II) ions decontamination in practical application.     

Fabrication of Melamine/Tb3+-Intercalated Polydiacetylene Nanosheets and Their Thermochromic Reversibility

Polydiacetylene (PDA) is one kind of the conjugated polymer with layered structure, which can serve as a host to accommodate the guest components through intercalation. In these intercalated PDAs, some of them were reported to have a nearly perfect organized structure and perform completely reversible thermochromism. Till now, these reported intercalated PDAs were made by only introducing a single component for intercalation. Here, we chose 10, 12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) as the monomer, of which the carboxyl-terminal groups can interact with either Tb\begin{document}$ ^{3+} $\end{document} ions or melamines (MAs). When the feeding molar ratio of PCDA, MA, and Tb\begin{document}$ ^{3+} $\end{document} ion was 3:267:1, only Tb\begin{document}$ ^{3+} $\end{document} ions were intercalated though excess MAs existed. Such Tb\begin{document}$ ^{3+} $\end{document}-intercalated poly-PCDA exhibited completely reversible thermochromism, where almost all the carboxyl groups interacted with Tb\begin{document}$ ^{3+} $\end{document} ions to form the nearly perfect structure. When the feeding molar ratio of PCDA, MA, and Tb\begin{document}$ ^{3+} $\end{document} ion was 3:267:0.6, both Tb\begin{document}$ ^{3+} $\end{document} ions and MAs were intercalated. There existed some defects in the imperfect MA-intercalated domains and at the domain boundaries. The MA/Tb\begin{document}$ ^{3+} $\end{document}-intercalated poly-PCDA exhibits partially reversible thermochromism, where the backbones near the defects are hard to return the initial conformation, while the rest, those at nearly perfect organized domains, are still able to restore the initial conformation.     

Characterization of Adducts Formed in the Reactions of Methylglyoxal and Malonaldehyde with Lysine and Histidine Derivatives

Glycation of biopolymers by α‐oxoaldehydes such as methylglyoxal is believed to play a major role in the complex pathologies associated with diabetes and metabolic diseases. To design strategies that could interfere with the endogenous production of such aldehydes or promote their detoxification or, alternatively, to develop therapeutic procedures that could inhibit the deleterious effects of the oxoaldehydes at the cellular level, it is important to characterize the wide spectrum of reactions between these compounds and biomolecules, and gain insight into their mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the reactivity of endogenous α‐oxoaldehyde, methylglyoxal, and of malonaldehyde towards amino acid derivatives, and we identified new adducts with N^α‐acetyllysine and N^α‐acetylhistidine. In addition, we showed that a structurally analogous adduct is also formed with the model peptide N‐acetylglycyllysine O‐methyl ester. The characterized compounds were most likely derived from the addition of the appropriate nucleophilic center of the studied biomolecules to the C?C bond of the initially formed aldehyde conjugate. The resulted adducts contain an electrophilic β‐dicarbonyl moiety and could potentially be involved in the formation of DNA? protein or protein cross? links.     

Novel and Sensitive Noncompetitive Enzyme Immunoassay (Hetero-Two-Site Enzyme Immunoassay) for Arginine Vasopressin

Abstract

A novel and sensitive noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay (hetero-two-site enzyme immunoassay) for arginine vasopressin in plasma is described. Plasma (0.3 ml) was diluted 1.3-fold with an appropriate buffer and filtered by centrifugation in a micro-concentrator with polysaccharide membrane to eliminate plasma proteins. Arginine vasopressin in plasma filtrates was biotinylated and trapped onto anti-arginine vasopressin IgG-coated polystyrene balls. After washing the polystyrene balls to eliminate other biotinylated substances, the biotinylated arginine vasopressin was eluted from the polystyrene balls with HCl and was reacted with anti-arginine vasopressin Fab′-peroxidase conjugate. The complex formed was trapped onto streptavidin-coated polystyrene balls. Peroxidase activity bound to the polystyrene balls was assayed by fluorometry. The detection limit of arginine vasopressin was 11 fg (10 amol)/tube. This was 45-fold lower than that by competitive enzyme immunoassay using the same antiserum as used in this study and 9 to 400-fold lower than those previously reported by competitive radioimmunoassays. The assay range of arginine vasopressin in plasma was 0.14–140 ng /l using 100 μl of plasma filtrates corresponding to 75 u1 o f plasma. Plasma levels of arginine vasopressin i n 8 healthy subjects aged 25–41 yr with, ad libitum water in take and normal activity approximately 4 h after breakfast were 0.72 ± 0.22 (SD) ng /l (range, 0.42–1.04 ng /l).     

Preparation of Polymers with Viologen Moieties and Their Application to the Selective Reduction of Substituted Nitroarenes

Abstract

Polymers with viologen moieties were synthesized by using poly-chlorethyl vinyl ether (PCEVE) as mother supports. These polymers were used as electron-transfer catalysts (ETC) for the reduction of substituted nitroarenes under heterophase conditions (reductant: Na₂S₂O₄ in CH₂CI₂-H₂O). The experimental results show that the substituted nitroarenes were reduced selectively and efficiently to the corresponding aniline derivatives in the presence of viologen polymers. The catalytic active species of viologen were detected by ESR and electrochemical methods. It was found that the viologen cation radical (V⁺) acts as the active species during the viologen-mediated reduction of substituted nitroarenes.     

A Fluorogenic Assay: Analysis of Chemical Modification of Lysine and Arginine to Control Proteolytic Activity of Trypsin

The chemical modification of amino acids plays an important role in the modulation of proteins or peptides and has useful applications in the activation and stabilization of enzymes, chemical biology, shotgun proteomics, and the production of peptide-based drugs. Although chemoselective modification of amino acids such as lysine and arginine via the insertion of respective chemical moieties as citraconic anhydride and phenyl glyoxal is important for achieving desired application objectives and has been extensively reported, the extent and chemoselectivity of the chemical modification of specific amino acids using specific chemical agents (blocking or modifying agents) has yet to be sufficiently clarified owing to a lack of suitable assay methodologies. In this study, we examined the utility of a fluorogenic assay method, based on a fluorogenic tripeptide substrate (FP-AA1-AA2-AA3) and the proteolytic enzyme trypsin, in determinations of the extent and chemoselectivity of the chemical modification of lysine or arginine. As substrates, we used two fluorogenic tripeptide probes, MeRho-Lys-Gly-Leu(Ac) (lysine-specific substrate) and MeRho-Arg-Gly-Leu(Ac) (arginine-specific substrate), which were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for chemoselective modification of specific amino acids (lysine and arginine) using the fluorogenic assay. The results are summarized in terms of half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC₅₀) for the extent of modification and ratios of IC₅₀ values (IC₅₀arginine/IC₅₀lysine and IC₅₀lysine/IC₅₀arginine) as a measure of the chemoselectivity of chemical modification for amino acids lysine and arginine. This novel fluorogenic assay was found to be rapid, precise, and reproducible for determinations of the extent and chemoselectivity of chemical modification.
