An investigation of the binding of native and recombinant human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin on three thiophilic gels, PyS, 2S, and 3S was performed. In addition to these proteins, we studied serum albumins from several species such as goat, rabbit, guinea pig, rat, hamster, baboon, and pig. Our results reveal that recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) binds completely to PyS whereas native human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin bind only partially to PyS. The binding affinities of rHSA, human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin to 2S and 3S gels are less than their binding to PyS. Serum albumins from goat, rabbit, guinea pig, rat, hamster, baboon, and pig bind much stronger to 3S gel than human and bovine serum albumins. The binding of pig and hamster serum albumins is stronger than that of rat, goat, baboon, and rabbit. 相似文献
Brinzolamide (BZA) is a topical ophthalmic drug which is generally used to lower the intraocular pressure during glaucoma. It was subjected to forced degradation studies under hydrolytic (acidic, basic), oxidative, photolytic and thermal stress conditions; the drug degraded significantly in hydrolytic and oxidative conditions, leading to the formation of seven degradation products in total. It was stable on exposure to light and dry heat in the solid state. An ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method was developed on a Waters CSH phenyl hexyl column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm), using gradient elution of 0.1 % formic acid and methanol as mobile phase. The method was extended to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF–MS) for the structural characterisation. All degradation products were comprehensively characterised by UHPLC–ESI/MS/MS experiments. The most probable mechanisms for the formation of degradation products were also proposed. In silico toxicity of the drug and its degradation products was determined using TOPKAT toxicity prediction software.
Mathematical model describing the oxidation of glucose in a multiscale porous biocatalytic electrode is discussed. The model considers herein is composed of two nonlinear differential equations accounting for reaction and diffusion within the hydrogel film. In this letter, approximate analytical expressions for the concentration of mediator, substrate and current have been obtained using the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Furthermore, a comparison confirmed that our analytical result fitted very well with the numerical solution (Matlab). Sensitivity analysis of the parameters is also reported. 相似文献
Helicoverpa armigera, an important pest causes serious damage to grain legumes. The main objective of this study was to isolate and identify the metabolite against H. armigera from a previously characterised Streptomyces sp. CAI-155. The culture filtrate of CAI-155 was extracted using Diaion HP-20 and the active fractions were fractionated on Silica and C18 column chromatography. The C18 active fraction was further fractionated on Silica gel 60 F254 thin layer chromatography (TLC). The most active fraction (Rf 0.64) purified from TLC led to the identification of a novel metabolite N-(1-(2,2-dimethyl-5-undecyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-2-hydroxyethyl)stearamide by spectral studies. The purified metabolite showed 70–78% mortality in 2nd instar H. armigera by diet impregnation assay, detached leaf assay and greenhouse assay. The LD50 and LD90 values of the purified metabolite were 627 and 2276 ppm, respectively. Hence, this novel metabolite can be exploited for pest management in future. 相似文献
Nd1−xSrxMnO3 perovskite manganite material with different compositions (x=0.31, 0.35, 0.37, 0.39 and 0.41) have been prepared employing solid-state reaction technique. The ultrasonic velocities and attenuation of the above samples have been measured employing through transmission method operated at a fundamental frequency of 5 MHz over wide range of temperatures. The temperature dependence of ultrasonic velocities, attenuation, relative percentage variation in velocities and elastic constants show an interesting anomaly in all compositions. The observed anomalies in ultrasonic parameters at Tc in all compositions have been revealed in terms of existence of ferromagnetic (FM) state. Similarly, the anomalies at Tco show the transition from FM to charge-ordered antiferromagnetic (AFM) state. The observed results have been used to explore the competitions between FM and AFM. 相似文献
The separation of the enantiomers of flurbiprofen on an amylose-derived chiral stationary phase, Chiralpak AD-H, by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) under both linear and non-linear conditions is studied. Pulse injections were implemented using supercritical CO2modified with methanol as a mobile phase at a temperature of 30 °C. At linear conditions, the isotherm is determined directly from the chromatogram. Under overload conditions, the elution profiles were described by competitive Langmuir and bi-Langmuir isotherm. Isotherm parameters were estimated using the inverse method and the effects of operation variables such as pressure and modifier composition were studied. The value of selectivity is from 1.9 to 2.1 while the value of resolution is from 5.3 to 11.8. The number of theoretical plates is always greater than 5000 indicating high efficiency of SFC. 相似文献
Methyl‐3‐(2‐chloroquinolin‐3‐yl)acrylates 5a‐i on reaction with methyl amine in acetonitrile yielded methyl‐3‐[2‐(methylamino)quinolin‐3‐yl]acrylates 6a‐i .

Photophysical and electrochemical studies of DDP dye with Formamide and alkyl substituted amides were carried out in water. Addition of Formamide (F), Acetamide (ACM), N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) to DDP dye result in an isosbestic point. A fluorescence enhancement of DDP dye is observed on the addition of amides. Apart from the fluorescence enhancement, the addition of formamide result in no significant shift in the position of emission maxima of DDP dye whereas addition of ACM and DMF result in a shift towards the blue and red region respectively. DDP dye exhibits three lifetime components which are unique in lifetime and amplitude. The fluorescence lifetime and relative amplitude of DDP dye varies significantly by addition of amides in aqueous solution which are influenced by amidewater hydrogen-bonding network and hydrophobic influences of the alkyl substituted amides. The nature of interaction between dye and amide be predominantly through hydrogen-bonding wherein the carbonyl oxygen (C=O) of amides are bonded to N-H hydrogen of DDP dye through water molecule. The existence of more than one microenvironment of DDP dye in aqueous phase is elucidated by Electrochemical Impedence Spectroscopy (EIS) through Nyquist plots wherein it signifies that there exist at least three different micro environments which support the existence of different fluorescence lifetimes. Fluorescence spectral technique is used as an efficient tool to elucidate the nature of interaction of water soluble probe with hydrogen-bonding solutes is established in our studies. 相似文献
Plasticized polymer electrolytes comprising of ethylene carbonate as the plasticizing agent in poly (vinyl chloride) [PVC]–poly (butyl methacrylate) [PBMA] blended polymer electrolytes were prepared by solution casting technique. Complex formation, structural elucidation, conductivity, dielectric parameters (?′, ?″, M′, and M″), thermal stability, and surface morphology are brought out from FTIR, XRD, ac impedance analysis, dielectric studies, thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopic studies, respectively. Polymer electrolytes are found to exhibit higher ionic conductivity at higher concentration of plasticizer at the cost of their mechanical stability. Conductivity of 1.879 × 10?4 S cm?1 is exhibited by the polymer electrolyte consisting of 69% of plasticizer with appreciable thermal stability up to 523 K. Temperature and frequency dependence of conductivity is found to follow Vogel Tammann Fulcher relation and Jonscher power law, respectively. Real and imaginary parts of dielectric constants are found to decrease with increase in frequency which could be due to the electrode polarization effect. 相似文献
