Effects of solute-matrix interaction on monitoring the conformational changes of immobilized proteins by surface plasmon resonance sensor

A real-time and labeling-free surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was used to monitor the conformational changes of immobilized globule proteins (RNase A and lysozyme) in chemical unfolding and refolding. The effects of chemical denaturants on the protein structures were investigated. The methodology in protein conformational study on the solid surface is refined through the theoretic calculations and the conformational information of native/denatured proteins in solution. Additionally, our observation illustrates that the ambient buffer solution is merit to influence the refractive index of immobilized protein films and directly be observed from the SPR resonance angle shifts.     

Structure and hydrodynamics of polyamic acid chains in solutions. Effect of “pin-joint” oxygen atom

The hydrodynamic characteristics and weight-average molecular weights of some samples of poly-(4,4′-oxydiphenylene) pyromellitamic acid (I) and poly (4,4′-phenylene) pyromellitamic acid (II) in DMF have been obtained by sedimentation, viscometry and light scattering. For (I) the dependence of S₀ on M was obtained and it was found that the hydrodynamic parameters $\text{F}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}\text{P}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ depend on M up to M = 10⁵. The experimental results were treated by using two models, viz. a Yamakawa-Fujii persistent chain and a rotational isomeric chain with free rotation about valence bonds. It was shown that the hydrodynamic behaviour of macromolecules of (I) with a pin-joint oxygen atom in the main chain is satisfactorily described by the rotational isomeric chain model with free rotation about valence bonds. The dependence of [η] on M was obtained and the constants K and a in an equation of the Mark-Kuhn-Houwink type were determined for (II). The flexibility of the chain was estimated and the Kuhn segment was found to be 200 Å using the Yamakawa-Fujii theory. The flexibilities of the chains of (I) and (II) are compared; it is shown that the rigidity of the chain of (II) without a pin-joint oxygen atom in the monomer unit is much higher than that of the chain of (I). The dependence of S₀ on M obtained for (II) suggests that its macromolecules show a more pronounced tendency for formation of aggregates than those of (I).

Intramolecular Diels-Alder Reactions of Thio-Substituted Dienes with Enones

Thio-substituted dienes bearing an enone moiety were readily prepared from 3-sulfolenes, and their intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reactions were studied. Octahydronaphthalenones were produced in good yield with high stereoselectivity. Hexahydroindenones were also obtained, but the stereoselectivity was lower.

Calix[4]crown in dual sensing functions with FRET

A new calix[4]crown chemosensor based on dual sensing probes reveals Pb²⁺ ion selectivity over other metal ions, which arises from a hypsochromic shift of azo units in UV spectrum as well as a fluorescence enhancement of pyrenyl parts in fluorescence spectrum via a suppressed FRET.
