Swelling kinetics and release characteristic of crosslinked chitosan: Polyether polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogels

The aqueous swelling kinetics of a series of crosslinked chitosan (cr-CS) with glutaraldehyde (GA) interpenetrating polyether hydrogels have been studied as functions of pH, the N-deacetylation degree of chitosan, the amount of crosslinking agent, the electrolyte composition in solution, temperature, and gel composition. Based on these results, the swelling mechanism of the hydrogels was discussed. The release profiles of chlorhexidini acetas from the semi-IPN were also investigated. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Orbital Energy Order and the Through Bond Interaction in Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules

The homonuclear diatomic molecules are the simplest systems having both the σ framework and the lone pair orbitals n_a and _b for investigating their through space and through bond interaction. The striking orbital energy order n_g～ n_a+ n_b > n_n ～ n_a - n_b has been accounted for by the through bond interaction. However, when the p-content in the lone pair orbitals n_a and n_b decreases, one may have the reverse orbital energy order: n_g < n_g. A reverse orbital energy order has been found in F₂ and Cl₂, whose n_a and n_b are almost pure s-type atomic orbitals. The reverse order also occurs in molecule N₂ when the internuclear distance is larger man 1.5 Å. It is also found that the detail through space and through bond interaction and the eventual orbital energy order for n_g and n_u can be accounted for by the Fock operator within the localized molecular orbital space.     

Voltammetric studies of the effect of Cisplatin-liposome on Hela cells

In this paper, the voltammetric method was used for the first time to study the effect of Cisplatin-liposome on Hela cells. The results showed the voltammetric behavior of Hela cells was irreversible and the peak current had linear relationship with the cell number. With both Cisplatin-liposome concentration and treating time increasing, the peak current decreased. The peak current decreasing was in accordance with the nuclear damage and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential revealed by two-photon laser scanning microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. This voltammetric method may provide a simple way to study the electron-transfer mechanism in drug-treating cells.     

Aluminum Lon Removal from Monoaluminum Ovotransferrin by Pyrophosphate

The rates at which aluminum was removed from the N- and C-terminal monoaluminum ovotransferrins by pyrophosphate were evaluated by UV difference spectra in 0.01 mol/L Hepes, pH=7.4 and at 37℃. Pesudo first-order rate constants as a function of pyrophosphate concentration were measured. The results indicate that the pathways of aluminum removal are different. For the N-terminal binding site, aluminum removal follows simple saturation kinetics, while the removal of aluminum from the C-terminal binding site reverts to the combination of saturation and first-order kinetics. The saturation component is consistent with a rate-limiting conformational change in the protein as has been reported. We propose that the first-order kinetics mechanism is attributed to a pre-equilibrium process. The rate constants of saturation kinetics are accelerated from both terminals with the addition of 0.1 mol/L chloride to the monoaluminum ovotransferrin solutions, whereas the rates of the first-order kinetics are decreased for the C-terminal binding site. The effect of chloride ionic strength causes a continuing increase on kobs for the N- and C-terminal binding sites. Moreover, the kinetics behavior of the N-terminal is more easily affected by chloride than that of the C-terminal. In the experiment presumably the N-terminal site is apparently kinetically more labile than the C-terminal site.     

Encrypting Chemical Reactivity in Protein Sequences toward Information‐Coded Reactions†

Controlling chemical reactivity has been the central theme in chemistry. Herein, we review the recent progress on the development of genetically encoded protein coupling reactions and their potential applications. The chemical reactivity is encoded in the protein sequences. The information is read out by folding and molecular recognition between two reactive components and subsequently translated into chemical bonding via autocatalysis. It has emerged as a unique way to tune the chemical reactivity and is regarded as one type of information‐coded reactions. Not only has it received many applications such as protein topology engineering, bioconjugation, biomaterials and synthetic biology, but also its principle may be extended beyond protein chemistry to enable new modes of supramolecular interactions that promote chemical bonding and that are simultaneously reinforced by covalent bonds.     

Theoretical study on electronic structure and optical properties of phenothiazine-containing conjugated oligomers and polymers

The application of polyfluorenes in polymeric light-emitting diodes has been hampered because of the charge injection difficulties and the troublesome formation of a tailed emission band at long wavelengths (>500 nm) during device fabrication and operation, leading to both a color instability and reduced efficiency. The incorporation of the phenothiazine units has been proven to significantly enhance the hole injection and charge carrier balance and at the same time efficiently suppress the keto defect emission. In this contribution, we apply quantum-chemical techniques to investigate poly[10-(N-(2'-methyl)phenothiazine-3,7-diyl) and its fluorene copolymer poly[10-(N-(2'-methyl)phenothiazine-3,7-diyl)-co-alt-2,7-(9,9-dimethylfluorene)] (PFPTZ) and gain a detailed understanding the influence of phenothiazine units on the electronic and optical properties of fluorene derivatives. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT approaches are employed to study the neutral molecules, HOMO-LUMO gaps (Delta(H-L)), the lowest excitation energies (E(g)'s), positive and negative ions, as well as the IPs and EAs, focusing on the superiority of the electronic and optical properties attributed to the introduction of electron-donating moiety phenothiazine (PTZ) through comparing with pristine polyfluorene. The outcomes show that the highly nonplanar conformation of phenothiazine ring in the ground state preclude sufficiently close intermolecular interactions essential to forming aggregates or excimers. Furthermore, the HOMO energies lift about 0.4 eV, and thus, the IPs decrease about 0.3 eV in PFPTZ, suggesting the significant improved hole-accepting and transporting abilities, due to the electron-donating properties of phenothiazine ring by the presence of electron-rich sulfur and nitrogen heteroatoms and highly nonplanar characters, resulting in the enhanced performances in both efficiency and brightness compared with pristine polyfluorene. In addition, even though the introduction of electron-donating moiety PTZ onto fluorene leads to a slight bathochromic shift in absorption and emission spectra, the copolymer still exhibited strong blue emission.     

Simultaneous Determination of Oxytetra- cycline, Doxycycline, Tetracycline and Chlortetracycline in Tetracycline Antibiotics by High-Performance Liquid Chromatog- raphy with Fluorescence Detection

A simple, rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorescence detection for the simultaneous determination of oxytetracycline, doxycycline, tetracycline and chlortetracycline was developed, and successfully applied to the analysis of commercial tetracycline antibiotics. The separation was performed on a reverse-phase C₁₈ column with a gradient elution composed of methanol and sodium acetate buffer (containing disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate and calcium chloride, pH 8.10) as the mobile phase, and fluorescence detection at 532 nm (excitation at 380 nm). The detection limits for oxytetracycline, doxycycline, tetracycline and chlortetracycline were 0.1, 0.5, 0.3 and 0.4 g L^–1, respectively. Data with respect to precision and accuracy were reported and discussed.
