Concanavalin A (Con A) immobilized poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) beads were investigated for specific adsorption of yeast invertase from aqueous solutions. PHEMA beads were prepared by a suspension polymerization technique with an average size of 150-200 microm, and activated by epichlorohydrin. Con A was then immobilized by covalent binding onto these beads. The maximum Con A immobilization was found to be 10 mg/g. The invertase-loading capability of the PHEMA/Con A beads was 107 mg/g. The maximum invertase adsorption capacity on the PHEMA/Con A adsorbents was observed at pH 5.0. The values of the Michaelis constant K(m) of invertase were significantly larger upon adsorption, indicating decreased affinity by the enzyme for its substrate, whereas V(max) was smaller for the adsorbed invertase. Adsorption improved the pH stability of the enzyme as well as its temperature stability. Thermal stability was found to increase with adsorption. The adsorbed enzyme activity was found to be quite stable in repeated experiments. Storage stability of adsorbed invertase. 相似文献
The molecule of the title compound, C18H24N2O2, resides on a crystallographic inversion centre. The molecule adopts a transoid conformation with respect to the central C—C single bond and is in the meso form. A polarimetric study of the compound did not show any optical activity, indicating that the compound is a racemic mixture entirely consistent with the centrosymmetric space group. In the molecule, there is one intramolecular N—H⋯O interaction, resulting in the formation of a five‐membered ring. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O interactions are also observed. These interactions form an R22(9) ring and one‐dimensional linear chains of edge‐fused rings running parallel to the [010] direction, which stabilize the crystal packing. 相似文献
The host–guest complex of a proline–thiourea bipyridine trifluoromethanesulfonic acid salt can catalyze organocatalytic asymmetric reactions such as aldol, Michael, and Mannich in polar protic medium with high stereoselectivities. The privileged bipyridine backbone and the thiourea motif are essential to the activity and enantioselectivity through hydrogen bonding interactions. 相似文献
A proline–thiourea host–guest complex has been described as a good catalyst for asymmetric reactions such as aldol and Mannich reactions. High stereoselectivities were obtained under optimal conditions. Thiourea was observed to have an important effect on the reactivity and selectivity, even in an unconventional nonpolar reaction medium and without the need to utilize low temperatures. This proline–thiourea host–guest system has the ability to participate in a hydrogen bonding network. 相似文献
Novel thiazolidin-4-one linked pseudo-aza-disaccharides and thiazolidin-4-ones containing C-pseudo-aza-nucleosides were synthesized via a one-pot three component reaction. The former was synthesized stereoselectively by the tandem Staudinger/aza-Wittig/cyclization reaction of azasugar aldehyde 1, an azidosugar, and mercaptoacetic acid. The reaction was structure and temperature controlled, and could be performed stereospecifically under 40 °C. It was the first report of a stereospecific synthesis of thiazolidin-4-one linked derivatives. However, these derivatives were synthesized with low stereoselectivity by involving the condensation reaction of azasugar aldehyde 1, aniline, and mercaptoacetic acid. 相似文献
The synthesis of polyfluorene (PF) thin films by simultaneously superposing a continuous and pulsed discharge and the characterizations
of these samples are presented. The double discharge plasma system is constructed by superposing two discharges; namely, a
low pressure dc glow one and a high current pulsed one. The fluorene monomer in powder form was vaporized in the system at
argon plasma without any modification, at 0.5 mbar operating pressure. The structure of the thin films was investigated via
XPS, UV–visible, FTIR, XRD and SEM. The FTIR and the UV–visible results revealed that the fluorene structure was retained
at the produced samples. Semi-conducting behavior was established, and upon the iodine doping, the optical energy band gap
(Eg) dropped down from 3.7 to 2.4 eV. The morphology of the synthesized PF thin films was amorphous, with granular structures
of different sizes depending on the location of the substrate. 相似文献

In the study, fluorescent imaging of live cells was performed using fluorescent carbon quantum dots derived from edible mushrooms species; Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Suillus luteus as a fluorophore agent. Carbon quantum dots were synthesized through a facile and low-cost method based on microwave irradiation of dried mushroom samples in hydrogen peroxide solution under optimized conditions (microwave energy, solution type, duration of microwave treatment, amount of mushroom). Upon purification with centrifugation, microfiltration, and dialysis, the lyophilized carbon quantum dots were identified through UV–visible, fluorescence and FT-IR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and quantum yield calculation. Cell viability assessment of the carbon quantum dots was evaluated against human epithelial cell line PNT1A using the Alamar Blue Assay. In vitro fluorescence cell imaging studies demonstrated that the carbon dots could dynamically penetrate the cell membrane and nuclear membrane and localize in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
