A fast and simple approach for immobilization using copolymers as interlayers is reported. The synthesized copolymers form stable self-assembled layers on implant materials like, e.g., titanium in a simple coating/drying/washing sequence and have functional groups which can bind proteins from an aqueous solution. The copolymer films have been characterized via ellipsometry and contact angle measurements and were tested for biocompatibility. An immunoassay was used to determine the amount of BMP2 and demonstrated an approximately 10-fold increase as compared to previously used self-assembled monolayers. A BMP2-responsive cell line with luciferase detection was used to determine the biological activity of the bound signaling protein. 相似文献
Single cell analytics for proteomic analysis is considered a key method in the framework of systems nanobiology which allows a novel proteomics without being subjected to ensemble-averaging, cell-cycle, or cell-population effects. We are currently developing a single cell analytical method for protein fingerprinting combining a structured microfluidic device with latest optical laser technology for single cell manipulation (trapping and steering), free-solution electrophoretical protein separation, and (label-free) protein detection. In this paper we report on first results of this novel analytical device focusing on three main issues. First, single biological cells were trapped, injected, steered, and deposited by means of optical tweezers in a poly(dimethylsiloxane) microfluidic device and consecutively lysed with SDS at a predefined position. Second, separation and detection of fluorescent dyes, amino acids, and proteins were achieved with LIF detection in the visible (VIS) (488 nm) as well as in the deep UV (266 nm) spectral range for label-free, native protein detection. Minute concentrations of 100 fM injected fluorescein could be detected in the VIS and a first protein separation and label-free detection could be achieved in the UV spectral range. Third, first analytical experiments with single Sf9 insect cells (Spodoptera frugiperda) in a tailored microfluidic device exhibiting distinct electropherograms of a green fluorescent protein-construct proved the validity of the concept. Thus, the presented microfluidic concept allows novel and fascinating single cell experiments for systems nanobiology in the future. 相似文献

S,S-Disubstituted sulfodiimines 9 are known to be versatile building blocks for the synthesis of various sulfur-nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Addition-condensation reactions of 9 with three different activated carbonylsubstrates 14-16 lead to several new 1lambda(6),2,6-thiadiazine-3-ones 17-20. S-Debenzylation via a novel synthetic approach utilizing different electrophiles such as TMSCl, Alk(3)O(+)BF(4)(-), Tos(2)O, and Mes(2)O gives rise to a variety of so far hardly known 1lambda(4),2,6-thiadiazine-3-ones 25 and 26. Structure elucidation reveals NH/CH tautomers in solution as well as a tetrahedral asymmetric sulfur attached to the conjugated planar N/C skeleton. The structural features of the 1lambda(4),2,6-thiadiazines 25 and 26 as well as their reactivity toward certain electrophiles will be discussed in detail. Alkylation with Alk(3)O(+)BF(4)(-) preferably results in formation of the 3-alkoxy-1lambda(4)-2,6-thiadiazines 29. In the presence of acid or base, also the N-2-alkyl isomers 30 are formed. Mesylation of 26 with methanesulfonic acid anhydride followed by aminolysis furnishes a variety of the desired heterocycles 5 in moderate overall yield. 相似文献
Summary: The modern MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is a powerful technique for the fast and accurate determination of a number of polymer characteristics like end group analysis. It can also be used to analyze the grafted shell around silane modified nanoparticles. This shell contains physically and chemically adsorbed parts. It is a question of great interest what kind of adsorbent can be visualized by using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, while it is not possible to ionize the whole AEROSIL® particle. Therefore we chose the system MPTMS/AEROSIL®200 to address this issue. We grafted AEROSIL®200 with methacryloxy(propyl)-trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) under acid conditions. The grafted nanoparticles were treated via Soxhlet extraction. The resulting fractions (the washed nanoparticles and the Soxhlet extract) were systematically analyzed by using MALDI-TOF MS as well as the grafted nanoparticles themselves. As a crosscheck MPTMS was homopolymerized and analyzed. Our results show that for the system under investigation there is strong evidence that only the physically adsorbed part can be analyzed via MALDI-TOF MS. 相似文献
Chlorine‐functionalized TEMPO‐capped polystyrenes were investigated using the matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight (MALDI‐TOF) technique. Amine‐ and acrylate‐functionalized agents and bifunctional TEMPO‐capped polystyrene were also analyzed to demonstrate the applicability of this method. Using this technique allowed to analyze the conversion of the chlorine function to an acrylate function, which was previously difficult to detect with other methods.

Reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) equilibrium constants, Keq, for the model system cyano‐iso‐propyl dithiobenzoate (CPDB) – cyano‐iso‐propyl radical (CIP) have been deduced via electron paramagnetic reso1494nce (EPR) spectroscopy. The CIP species is produced by thermal decomposition of azobis‐iso‐butyronitrile (AIBN). In solution of toluene at 70 °C, Keq has been determined to be (9 ± 1) L · mol−1. Measurement of Keq = kad/kβ between 60 and 100 °C yields ΔEa = (–28 ± 4) kJ · mol−1 as the difference in the activation energies of kad and kβ. The data measured on the model system are indicative of fast fragmentation of the intermediate radical produced by addition of CIP to CPDB.
[reaction: see text] Two formal total syntheses of the (-)-salicylihalamides, based on chiral pool approaches, are reported. D-glucose and L-rhamnose were used to prepare advanced intermediates 23 and 54, which can be converted in three or four steps, respectively, to the target compounds. The synthesis of 23 from a known D-glucose-derivative was accomplished in 12 steps and 17% overall yield, and the synthesis of 54 from a known L-rhamnose-derivative was done in nine steps and 6% overall yield. A key step in the synthesis was a ring-closing metathesis reaction to prepare the macrocyclic ring system. It was demonstrated that the phenolic protecting group was critical for inducing the preferential formation of the desired E isomer. It was further shown that the protecting group at the C13 hydroxyl group had no significant influence on the E:Z ratio during the ring-closing metathesis reaction. 相似文献
