A novel support with artificially created recognition for the selective removal of proteins and for affinity chromatography

Summary Acrylamide and N,N-methylenebisacrylamide were copolymerized in the presence of a protein to form a gel which was pressed through a sieve. The gel particles obtained were packed into a chromatographic tube. The experimental conditions for the polymerization are such that the pores of the gel particles are large enough to permit the protein to diffuse out of the particles, so that the entrapped protein can be removed from the bed by washing with an aqueous solution. However the interaction with the matrix is so strong that the protein can be desorbed only by a buffer containing 0.5 M sodium chloride or by a 10% solution of acetic acid containing 10% SDS. When a sample containing the protein present during the polymerization was applied to the column along with other proteins this protein was the only one adsorbed. The technique worked selectively with hemoglobin, cytochrome C and transferrin.     

Effect of the matrix on DNA electrophoretic mobility

DNA electrophoretic mobilities are highly dependent on the nature of the matrix in which the separation takes place. This review describes the effect of the matrix on DNA separations in agarose gels, polyacrylamide gels and solutions containing entangled linear polymers, correlating the electrophoretic mobilities with information obtained from other types of studies. DNA mobilities in various sieving media are determined by the interplay of three factors: the relative size of the DNA molecule with respect to the effective pore size of the matrix, the effect of the electric field on the matrix, and specific interactions of DNA with the matrix during electrophoresis.     

Polyelectrolyte complex formation between poly(diallyldimethyl-ammonium chloride) and copolymers of acrylamide and sodium-acrylate

 The interaction between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, in this study poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and copolymers of acrylamide and sodium-acrylate differing in their chain length and charge density parameter (ξ) was investigated in relation to the molar charge ratio of anionic to cationic charges (n ₋/n ₊). The molecular weights of the polyelectrolytes used were 2.9·10⁵g/mol for PDADMAC and for the polyacrylamide copolymers 14 ·10⁶g/mol as well as 5·10⁵g/mol obtained by ultrasonic degradation of the high molecular weight copolymers. The charge density parameters of the polyanions used (ξ ^PR ) varied between 0.14 and 0.64. Complexation between PDADMAC and high molecular weight polyanions leads mainly to macroscopic phase separation whereas the degraded polyanions and PDADMAC formed soluble complexes as well as stable dispersions, if charge excess was available. Precipitates and dispersions were characterized by several methods such as element analysis, thermogravimetry, pyrolysis-GC/MS, PEL titration, ζ-potential measurements, determination of turbidity, particle size measurements and determination of carbon content (TOC).  All precipitated complexes include about 20% water and are of 1:1 stoichiometry concerning ionic binding. Investigations of dispersions confirm 1:1 stoichiometry of complex particles stabilized by excess polyelectrolyte and soluble complexes. It was also found that the particle size can be varied via the charge density parameter of the polyanions used in the range of negative charge excess.

Enhanced mixing in polyacrylamide gels containing embedded silica nanoparticles as internal electroosmotic pumps

Many biosensors, including those based on sensing agents immobilized inside hydrogels, suffer from slow response dynamics due to mass transfer limitations. Here we present an internal pumping strategy to promote convective mixing inside crosslinked polymer gels. This is envisioned as a potential tool to enhance biosensor response dynamics. The method is based on electroosmotic flows driven by non-uniform, oscillating electric fields applied across a polyacrylamide gel that has been doped with charged colloidal silica inclusions. Evidence for enhanced mixing was obtained from florescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) measurements with fluorescein tracer dyes dissolved in the gel. Mixing rates in silica-laden gels under the action of the applied electric fields were more than an order of magnitude faster than either diffusion or electrophoretically driven mixing in gels that did not contain silica. The mixing enhancement was due in comparable parts to the electroosmotic pumping and to the increase in gel swelling caused by the presence of the silica inclusions. The latter had the effect of increasing tracer mobility in the silica-laden gels.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation studies of polyacrylamide solution

 The cohesive interaction among polymer chains in a polyacrylamide (PAAm)–D₂O solution has been studied by NMR relaxation. The NMR relaxation times of PAAm in the good solvent D₂O were measured at different temperatures. The results show that the solution system has a high local viscosity and that its relaxation characteristic is soft-solid-like. The temperature dependence of the relaxation behavior of the solution is obviously different from that of ordinary polymer solutions. The difference lies in the relaxation behavior of the methylene protons in the main chain of PAAm, as shown by analyzing the relaxation process with single exponential and biexponential decays. As the temperature increases, the solvation is weakened, leading polymer chains to form curling coils, thus hindering the movement of the methylene protons among the main chains. It can be expected from the existence of 80% fast-relaxing protons that there are a zhigh number of entanglements among the polymer chains in PAAm solution. The information about entanglements among the polymer chains can be deduced from the biexponential dependence of the spin–spin relaxation on the concentration of the polymer solutions.

Sorption/diffusion behaviour of anionic surfactants in polyacrylamide hydrogels: from experiment to modelling

The sorption and diffusion processes of anionic surfactants with different chain length through polyacrylamide hydrogels with low swelling degree have been studied by electrical conductivity measurements. The multicomponent equilibrium equation has been used to model the sorption isotherms of different anionic surfactant in the hydrogels. Such isotherms show that initial rapid sorption of unimer surfactant into the membranes occurs, suggesting that non-freezing water can be involved in these interactions. In aqueous solution, at concentrations near and above the critical micelle concentration an anti-co-operative region is found. The diffusion coefficients of the anionic surfactants inside the hydrogel matrix show that the mobility of diffusing surfactant entities is dependent on cross-linker concentration and chain length. The Cukier hydrodynamic model and the free volume theory as modified by Peppas and Reinhart were applied to explain the dependence of the diffusion coefficients of surfactant on surfactant concentration inside the hydrogel. The hydrodynamic model was applied with success to the more hydrophilic surfactant, sodium 1-octanesulfonate, showing that the diffusion coefficients, D, increase when the resistance to hydrodynamic medium decreases; when the surfactant chain length increases (sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium 1-hexadecane sulphonate) the variation of D with the free volume can only be understood considering the sieving effect produced by the surfactant inside gel.     

Swelling of hydrophobically modified poly(acrylamide) and poly(acrylamide)-co-(acrylic acid) gels in surfactant solutions

A series of hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide and polyacrylamide-co-poly(acrylic acid) gels with systematically varying hydrophobicity were prepared by free-radical polymerization of acrylamide, n-alkylacrylamides (n = 10, 12, and 14), and acrylic acid. The swelling of these gels was examined in water and in both anionic and cationic surfactant solutions. It was found that the gels which incorporated acrylic acid showed extremely high swelling in water. Maximum swelling was observed in gels which incorporated 10 mol% acrylic acid. The swelling of these gels was much less in solutions of both anionic and cationic surfactants than in water. The gels which did not incorporate acrylic acid demonstrated little swelling in water, but showed increased swelling in both anionic and cationic surfactant solutions with increased hydrophobicity of the gel.

Polymer Coated Piezoelectric Quartz Crystal Protein Bio‐Sensors

A polymer coated piezoelectric crystal detection system with a home‐made computer interface for signal acquisition and data processing was prepared as a liquid chromatographic detector for various proteins. Various polymers, e.g., polyvinyl aldehhyde (polyacrolein) (PVA), polyacrylamide/glutaldehyde (PAA/GA) and bio‐gel A, were used as coating materials on quartz crystals for adsorption of various protein molecules, e.g., catalase (CA), hemoglobin (Hb), α‐chymotrypsin (Ch), albumin (Ab). The frequency responses of the polyacrlein coated piezoelectric detector for various proteins were in the order: catalase> hemoglobin> α‐chymotrypsin > albumin. In contrast, the order of the frequency responses of bio‐gel A and polyacrylamide/glutaldehyde coated piezoelectric crystals for these proteins were: hemoglobin> catalase > α‐chymotrypsin ≥ albumin and hemoglobin > albumin > catalase. The polyacrolein coated piezoelectric crystal protein detector exhibited a good linear frequency response with a high sensitivity of about 2.5×10³ Hz/(mg/mL) for catalase. In addition, bio‐gel A and polyacrylamide/glutaraldehyde coated crystals were sensitive to hemoglobin with sensitivities of about 4.5×10³ Hz/(mg/mL) and 3.0×10³ Hz/(mg/mL), respectively. Study of the interference of various organic molecules, e.g., alcohols, amines, ketones and carboxylic acids, in the detection of proteins with theses polymer coated crystals was also made. The polyacrolein coated crystal for proteins under went less interference from various organic molecules than bio‐gel A or polyacrylamide/glutaraldehyde coated crystals. Effects of coating load, concentration of proteins and flow rate of liquid chromatographic eluent were also investigated and discussed.
