EFFECT OF OVERLAP CONCENTRATION AND PERSISTENCE LENGTH ON DNA SEPARATION IN POLYMER SOLUTIONS BY ELECTROPHORESIS

The persistence length and the overlap concentration(c~*) of poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) and hydroxyethylcellulose(HEC) with similar molecular weight in 1×TBE buffer were studied by laser light scattering and viscometry.Their effect on DNA separation was investigated by capillary electrophoresis.It was determined that the persistence length of HEC was at least 5 times higher than that of PEO.Therefore,the c~* of HEC was smaller than that of PEO by a factor of ca.2.5.It was also found that the c~* values de...     

Interactions between cationic gemini/conventional surfactants with polyvinylpyrrolidone: Specific conductivity and dynamic light scattering studies

The interaction between bis(hexadecyldimethylammonium)hexane dibromide (16-6-16), bis(tetradecyldimethylammonium)hexane dibromide (14-6-14), their conventional counterparts cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was investigated using the conductivity technique. The results show that gemini surfactants interact strongly with PVP as compared to conventional surfactants. The results also reveal that the surfactants with shorter hydrocarbon chain interact weakly as those of longer hydrocarbon chain. The interactions of 16-6-16 and 14-6-14 and their conventional counterparts with PVP were also studied using dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. We have also highlighted the effect of surfactant–polymer interactions on the dispersion force in the solution. Critical aggregation concentration (cac) and critical micelle concentration (cmc) were obtained using the conductivity data. The degrees of micelle ionization and free energies associated with aggregation, micellization, and transfer have also been evaluated and discussed.     

Hapten heterology for a specific and sensitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for organophosphorus insecticide fenthion

Five haptens with different spacer-arm attachment sites on the structure of the organophosphorus insecticide fenthion were designed and synthesized. All of the haptens were conjugated with ovalbumin (OVA) for the coating antigen, and three haptens containing all or most of the structure of fenthion were conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) for the immunogen. Six polyclonal antisera were raised against the three BSA conjugates, and 30 antibody/coating conjugate combinations were selected for studies of assay sensitivity and specificity for fenthion. The study revealed the best combination with high sensitivity (I₅₀ of 0.08 ng mL⁻¹) and high assay specificity, which indicated that when structural difference between the analyte and an immunizing hapten is less than that between a coating hapten and the immunizing hapten, a high sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the heterologous system may stand a good chance to be developed. The immunity results showed that heterology in the hapten spacer-arm attachment site of the immunogen could achieve a remarkable improvement in the quantity, sensitivity, and/or specificity of antibody, and that the moiety of an analyte, which is the same as the moiety near/on the immunizing spacer-arm hapten attachment site, contributes greatly to the interaction of antibody and hapten.

MgO海/泡石复合载体负载Cu催化剂催化环己醇脱氢

采用浸渍沉淀法制备了不同比例的MgO/海泡石(Sep)复合载体负载Cu催化剂,并考察了其对环己醇脱氢反应的催化性能。采用N2气物理吸附、X射线衍射(XRD)、红外光谱(IR)、氨气程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)、程序升温还原(TPR)等测试技术对催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,海泡石的引入有助于催化剂比表面积的增加,但当载体中海泡石的比例太高时,会导致催化剂酸性以及活性组分Cu状态的变化,从而降低催化剂的活性和选择性。当复合载体中海泡石质量分数为40%时,催化剂的活性最高,选择性也较好。
