Eliminating positively charged lysine epsilon-NH3+ groups on the surface of carbonic anhydrase has no significant influence on its folding from sodium dodecyl sulfate

This study compares the folding of two polypeptides--bovine carbonic anhydrase (BCA) and peracetylated BCA (BCA-Ac(18))--having the same sequence of amino acids but differing by 18 formal units of charge, from a solution containing denaturing concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Acetylation of BCA with acetic anhydride converts all 18 lysine-epsilon-NH(3)(+) groups to lysine-epsilon-NHCOCH(3) groups and generates BCA-Ac(18). Both BCA and BCA-Ac(18) are catalytically active, and circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) suggests that they have similar secondary and tertiary structures. SDS at concentrations above approximately 10 mM denatured both proteins. When the SDS was removed by dialysis, both proteins were regenerated in native form. This study suggests that large differences in the net charge of the polypeptide have no significant influence on the structure, the ability to refold, or the rate of refolding of this protein from solutions containing SDS. This study reinforces the idea that charged residues on the surface of BCA do not guide protein folding and raises the broader question of why proteins have charged residues on their surface, outside of the region of the active site.     

磷脂酰胆碱与牛血清白蛋白相互作用的FT-IR研究

利用傅立叶变换红外(FT-IR)和拉曼(FT-Raman)光谱研究了高浓度磷脂酰胆碱(PC)与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的相互作用,及Eu3＋对该作用的影响.FT-IR结果显示,PC/BSA混合体系中二者的相互作用主要发生在PC头部极性基团,且这一作用随BSA含量的增加而增强,作用后蛋白质二级结构中α螺旋的比例有所增加. FT-Raman光谱说明PC与BSA的相互作用影响磷脂CH链的排列有序程度. PC/BSA/Eu3＋体系的红外光谱显示, Eu3＋与PC的磷氧键发生了强相互作用,并使蛋白α螺旋的比例进一步增加.

Preparation of a thermally phase-separating copolymer,poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-acryloxysuccinimide), with a controlled number of active esters per polymer chain

N-isopropylacrylamide and N-acryloxysuccinimide have been copolymerized in various mixtures of terrahydrofuran and toluene using azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. Polymerization has been conducted for 24 h at 50°C under a slightly positive pressure of nitrogen. The copolymers were assayed for active ester content by measuring the UV absorbance (259 nm) of N-hydroxysuccinimide anion, generated by reacting the copolymers with N-isopropylamine in dimethylformamide and dissolving the resulting mixture in 0.1M HEPES buffer, pH 7.5. The molecular weight and its distribution have been estimated by gel permeation chromatography. The active ester content was found to be equivalent to the comonomer feed ratio, and the major factor controlling the molecular weight was the ratio of tetrahydrofuran to toluene. Thus, the number of active esters per polymer chain could be controlled by adjustment of the comonomer feed ratio and the ratio of tetrahydrofuran to toluene. Monomer reactivity ratios for copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide with N-acryloxysuccinimide were also estimated. These copolymers are useful for immobilizing binding ligands such as antibodies for subsequent thermally induced precipitation immunoassays and bioseparation processes.

Oxidative coupling of methane over Sr?Ti, Sr?Sn perovskites and corresponding layered perovskites

The layered perovskites Sr₂TiO₄ and Sr₂SnO₄ are more active and selective for the oxidative coupling of methane at 1073 K than the corresponding perovskites SrTiO₃ and SrSnO₃. The role of the surface oxygen species for this reaction is discussed.

含氮给体结构对丙烯腈电荷转移光聚合的影响

<正> 对于正性烯类单体,主要是乙烯基咔唑的电荷转移聚合,诚田已作过详细综述。负性烯类单体的电荷转移聚合主要研究的单体是丙烯腈(AN)及甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)。Barton等研究了芳烃为引发剂的MMA光聚合。我们研究了芳胺为引发剂的光聚合。 芳胺,尤其是芳叔胺,是较强的电子给体,与负性单体在光照下经激基复合物而引发聚合,我们的实验表明,吡啶及其同系物(喹啉与吖啶)并不象吡咯及其同系物(吲哚与咔唑)那样有效地引发AN等负性单体的光聚合(见表1)。从图1所示的结构看,它们有     

Rapid and sensitive spectrofluorimetric determination of trace amounts of Hg(II) with o-vanillin-8-aminoquinoline

The fluorimetric determination of mercury ions with o-vanillin-8-aminoquinoline (OVAQ) in aqueous solutions was investigated. Hg(II) could react with the fluorescent reagent OVAQ (λ_ex/em = 278/314 nm) to form a nonfluorescent complex in an ethanol-water medium of pH 6.00. The linear range of the proposed method was from 2.5 to 80 μg/L, and the detection limit was 0.80 μg/L. The interferences of 24 foreign ions were also studied. The method was successfully applied to the determination of Hg(II) in sludge. The text was submitted by the authors in English.
