Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is used to separate 2-aminobenzamide- (2-AB) labeled N-linked oligosaccharides. The glycans of the model protein, bovine fetuin, are identified following comparison of elution patterns of seven 2-AB-labeled glycan standards, of which two are of the high-mannose type and five are of the complex type. The combination of two HILIC methods, using an Amide-80 column, having different resolutions and selectivities, markedly facilitates the identification of the fetuin glycans. These HILIC methods are suitable for obtaining glycan profiles of complex mixtures. 相似文献
In this work, a series of direct numerical simulations are conducted to study the effect of wall normal spanwise homogeneous wall actuation on a turbulent boundary layer. The moving boundary is represented by a boundary data immersion technique. A parametric study was performed, varying the actuator length, the wall normal actuation amplitude and the actuation frequency. It was found that localized actuation, relying only on wall motion instead of requiring a plenum in the case of synthetic jets, generated a net momentum flux jet affecting the flow not only in the immediate vicinity of the actuator but also for a significant distance downstream. The cases with an actuator velocity of \( u^{+}_{act}=?20.1 \) showed a particularly pronounced effect on the boundary layer and resulted in a recirculation region. 相似文献
The stability constants of the complexes of silver(I), zinc(II), cadmium(II) and manganese(II) with ethylenediamine in dimethylsulphoxide at 25 degrees and ionic strength 0.1Mhave been determined potentiometrically. The stability constants are consistently larger in DMSO than in water as expected from the difference in dielectric constant for the two solvents. 相似文献
In erythropoietic protoporphyria, protoporphyrin overproduction occurs mainly in erythroid tissue. Protoporphyrin can be released from erythrocytes in the dark, but the release is greatly increased if the erythrocytes are exposed to small amounts of light. Protoporphyrin can be bound in plasma either to albumin or to low density or high density lipoprotein. The cutaneous symptoms in erythropoietic protoporphyria are primarily elicited by protoporphyrin-sensitized photodamage of endothelial cells due to the presence of protoporphyrin in lipid structures. Which structures are damaged first in endothelial cells is unknown. Endothelial cells probably accumulate protoporphyrin from albumin or lipoproteins present in the plasma. A direct transfer from the erythrocyte membrane to the endothelial cell membrane can also occur. The transfer processes are probably facilitated by light exposure.
Degranulation of mast cells, invasion of neutrophus into interstitial tissue and complement activation seem to be of less importance than endothelial cell injury in the pathogenesis of erythropoietic protoporphyria. These processes may, however, participate in the final expression of the cutaneous symptoms.
Uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin are hydrophilic and are probably unbound in plasma, although weak binding to plasma proteins cannot be excluded. In the hepatic porphyrias and in erythropoietic porphyria, the clinical symptoms are probably evoked by uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin present in the interstitial tissue. Very little is known about the primary targets of uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin photodamage in these disorders, but photodamage to intercellular structures probably represents the initial event. Activation of complement may contribute to the final expression of the cutaneous symptoms. 相似文献
Little data exist on the structure and function of compressible elastomeric proteins such as abductin. An understanding of the underlying structural features of these proteins may lead to the development of a new class of highly tailored "compressible" hydrogels. To that effect, in this work, the structure of abductin was investigated by means of studies on several synthetic peptides corresponding to the most frequent sequences of abductin. In particular, the 10 amino acid abductin peptide sequence FGGMGGGNAG, tandem repeated in the protein, and two related 25 and 40 amino acid polypeptides were synthesized. These peptides were studied with regard to secondary structure, self-assembly, and polymer morphology. The results obtained with these peptides allow us to propose a preliminary structure-elasticity relationship for abductin not dissimilar from that currently accepted for elastin.A possible mechanism of elasticity relating abductin to elastin. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] When treated with KCN in DMSO at room temperature, acylals from aliphatic aldehydes gave the corresponding cyanohydrin esters in good to excellent yields. Acylals from aromatic aldehydes were less reactive and gave several byproducts in addition to fair yields of cyanohydrin under the same conditions. Trimethylsilyl cyanide mixed with titanium(IV) chloride afforded cyanohydrin esters in good to excellent yields from both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. 相似文献
