Effects of DNA mismatches on binding affinity and kinetics of polymerase-DNA complexes as revealed by surface plasmon resonance biosensor

In this study, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor techniques were used to obtain quantitative information on the kinetics of the DNA and polymerase I (Klenow fragment) interaction. DNA duplexes containing different base compositions at the binding site were immobilized on the SPR sensor surface via biotin-streptavidin chemistry and the subsequent binding of the polymerase was measured in real time. Various kinetic models were tested and a translocation model was shown to provide the best fit for the binding and dissociation profiles. The results revealed that the enzyme binds to DNA at both the polymerase and the exonuclease domains with different association and dissociation rates as well as affinity constants, depending on the presence of mismatches near the primer 3'-end. Introduction of unpaired bases increases the DNA binding affinity towards the exonuclease domain and promotes the translocation of DNA from the polymerase site to the exonuclease site. The results also demonstrated that SPR biosensors may be used as a sensitive technique for studying molecular recognition events such as single-base discrimination involved in protein-DNA interaction.

Synthesis and characterization of polyaniline microfibers by utilizing H4SiW12O40/polyacrylamide microfibers seeding template method

In this paper, polyaniline (PANI) microfibers with average diameter of 250 nm were synthesized by utilizing H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀/polyacrylamide (HPA/PAM) microfibers seeding template method. The PANI microfibers were characterized by element analyses, FT-IR spectra, X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), and Scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The microfibers seeding template significantly affected the fibrous morphology of the resulting PANI. However, the diameter of the PANI microfibers was almost not affected by the diameter of the microfibers seeding template in the experimental range. In addition, the conductivity of the PANI microfibers was also investigated. The result showed that the best conductivity of the PANI microfibers doped with H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀ was 27.1 S/cm.

Synthesis and Application of a Novel Poly(Acryl-p-Toluenesulfonamideamidine-p-Toluenesulfonylamide) Chelating Fiber for Preconcentration and Separation of Trace Noble Metal Ions from Solution Samples

A novel poly(acryl-p-toluenesulfonamideamidine-p-toluenesulfonylamide) chelating fiber containing S, N and O elements was synthesized from polyacrylonitrile fiber and p-toluenesulfonamide and used for the preconcentration and separation for traces of Ru(III), Rh(III), Au(III) and Pd(IV) ions from waste water and ore sample solution. The synthesis of this fiber was simple and rapid. The results indicate that 100ngmL^–1 of these ions can be quantitatively enriched by the chelating fiber at a flow rate of 6mLmin^–1 and a pH of 4 and desorbed quantitatively with 20mL of 6molL^–1 HCl and 5% CS(NH₂)₂ solution at 50°C (with recovery>95%). A 50 to 1000-fold excess of Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Al³⁺ ions caused little interference in the concentration and determination of the analyzed ions. When the fiber had been reused twenty times, the recoveries of the ions enriched by the fiber were still over 96%. The saturated adsorption capacities of the fiber were in the range of 22–96mgg^–1. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the method was between 0.70% and 0.84%. Recoveries of a standard added to actual samples were in range of 95–101%. The results obtained for these ions in real solution samples were basically in agreement with the given values, the average errors being below 5.0%. FT-IR spectra show that the existence of –SO₂–Ar, HN=C–NH–, O=C–NH– and –NH–SO₂ functional groups are verified in the chelating fiber. The experiments show that the method is rapid, precise, simple and convenient.     

Synthesis and Efficiency of Poly(Acryl- p-Nitrophenylamidrazone- p-Nitrophenylhydrazide) Chelating Fibre for Pre-Concentration and Separation of Trace Concentrations of Bi 3+, In 3+, Sn 4+, Ga 3+ and Ti 4+

A new poly(acryl-p-nitrophenylamidrazone-p-nitrophenylhydrazide) chelating fibre was synthesized from polyacrylnitrile fibre, and the structure of the chelating fibre was determined with the help of the FT-IR spectrum. The parameters influencing the efficiency of the fibre for concentrating trace amounts of Bi³⁺, In³⁺, Sn⁴⁺, Ga³⁺ and Ti⁴⁺, including sample acidity during enrichment, flow rate, adsorptive capacity, re-usability, interfering ions and desorption conditions were investigated. Trace Bi³⁺, In³⁺, Sn⁴⁺, Ga³⁺ and Ti⁴⁺ were enriched and separated from real sample solutions and detected using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) with satisfactory results. The experiments show that the method is rapid, precise, simple and convenient to use.

Conformation and dynamics of polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (Brij- 35) chains in aqueous micellar solution studied by 2D NOESY and <Superscript>1</Superscript>H NMR relaxation

Spin-lattice relaxation time, spin-spin relaxation time and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (2D NOESY) experiments of polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (Brij-35) micelles in aqueous solutions at a concentration of 100 times the critical micellar concentration (cmc) give direct evidence that the hydrophilic polyoxyethylene chains, staying in the exterior of the micellar core, are coiled, bent and aligned around the micellar core with a certain number of water molecules included. This hydrophilic layer is in contact with the solvent, water, keeping the micellar solution stable. ¹H NMR relaxation time measurements show that the first oxyethylene group next to the alkyl chain participates in the formation of the surface area of the micellar core. The motion of the hydrophilic polyoxyethylene chains is less restricted as compared with the hydrophobic alkyl chains.
