Although the separation efficiency of capillary electrophoresis (CE) is much higher than that of other chromatographic methods, it is sometimes difficult to adequately separate the complex ingredients in biological samples. This article describes how one effective and simple way to develop the separation efficiency in CE is to add some modifiers to the running buffer. The suitable running buffer modifier β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was explored to fast and completely separate four phenylethanoid glycosides and aglycones (homovanillyl alcohol, hydroxytyrosol, 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid, and caffeic acid) in Lamiophlomis rotata (Lr) and Cistanche by capillary zone electrophoresis with ultraviolet (UV) detection. It was found that when β-CD was used as running buffer modifier, a baseline separation of the four analytes could be accomplished in less than 20 min and the detection limits were as low as 10−3 mg L−1. Other factors affecting the CE separation, such as working potential, pH value and ionic strength of running buffer, separation voltage, and sample injection time, were investigated extensively. Under the optimal conditions, a successful practical application on the determination of Lr and Cistanche samples confirmed the validity and practicability of this method. 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to use our previously validated dynamic injection apparatus as a rapid method for screening
pH-adjusted formulations of a new vancomycin analog, Van-An, for their potential to precipitate upon dilution. In 1 vial,
Van-An was reconstituted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In a separate vial, the Van-An formulation’s existing
phosphate buffer species was supplemented with acetate buffer, which has a pKa in the desired range: between the pH values
of the formulation (pH 3.9) and blood (pH 7.4). The formulations were injected using the dynamic injection apparatus into
a flowing stream of isotonic Sorensen’s phosphate buffer at rates of 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 mL/min. The peaks obtained with the
spectrophotometer were reproducible for each injection rate/formulation combination. For the phosphate-buffered formulation,
the least amount of precipitation was obtained at the 0.25 mL/min injection rate. Acetate buffer was able to substantially
reduce such precipitation, even at the highest injection rate. The opacity peaks for the formulation with the acetate addition
were significantly smaller (P<.05) than those obtained for the unaltered formulation at all 4 injection rates. The results suggest that acetate is a better
buffer species than phosphate for the pH range defined. Furthermore, we present evidence to support a generally applicable
approach to screening new formulations of drug products that may be clinically useful for reducing the incidence of phlebitis
in humans.

Macroinvertebrate assemblages are structured by a number of abiotic and biotic factors interacting simultaneously. We investigated macroinvertebrate assemblages along gradients of human disturbance and morphometric characteristics in five lakes connected by the same stream. We aimed to assess the relative effects of environmental gradients on macroinvertebrate assemblages and to investigate whether water quality effects on the assemblages were correlated with buffer land use. There were significant differences in macroinvertebrate community compositions among lakes, and our results indicated that oligochaetes (mainly Limnodrilus) and insects (mainly Chironomus) contributed highly to the differences. We used redundancy analysis with variation partitioning to quantify the independent and combined anthropogenic effects of water quality and land use gradients on the macroinvertebrate community. The independent effect of water quality was responsible for 17% of the total variance in macroinvertebrate community composition, the independent effect of buffer land use accounted for 6% of variation, and the combined variation between land use change and water quality accounted for 12%. Our study indicated that both the independent effects of land use and within‐lake water quality can explain the influence in macroinvertebrate assemblages, with significant interactions between the two. This is rather important to notice that changes in buffer land use generally may alter nutrient inputs and thus severely affect abiotic conditions encountered by macroinvertebrate. Our study demonstrates that considering buffer zone effects explicitly may be significant in the selection and application of conservation and management strategies. 相似文献

For measurement of cytochrome c oxidase activity in intact plant mitochondria the optimum concentration of K-Pi buffer and pH in the reaction was found to be 75 mM and 7.4 respectively. The suitable concentration of K-Pi buffer for suspending and storing mitochondria, however, was found to be 20 mM or lower. These requirements applied equally well for mitochondria from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), maize (Zea mays L.), and snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). 相似文献

Diafiltration is used for final formulation of essentially all biotherapeutics. Several studies have demonstrated that buffer/excipient concentrations in the final diafiltered product can be different than that in the diafiltration buffer due to interactions between buffer species and the protein product. However, recent work in our lab has shown variations in solution pH that are largely independent of the protein concentration during the first few diavolumes. Our hypothesis is that these pH variations are due to nonidealities in the acid‐base equilibrium coefficient. A model was developed for the diafiltration process accounting for the ionic strength dependence of the pKa. Experimental results obtained using phosphate and histidine buffers were in excellent agreement with model predictions. A decrease in ionic strength leads to an increase in the pKa for the phosphate buffer, causing a shift in the solution pH, even under conditions where the initial feed and the diafiltration buffer are at the same pH. This effect could be eliminated by matching the ionic strength of the feed and diafiltration buffer. The experimental data and model provide new insights into the factors controlling the pH profile during diafiltration processes. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Ecological and conservation genetics require sampling of organisms in the wild. Appropriate preservation of the collected samples, usually by cryostorage, is key to the quality of the genetic data obtained. Nevertheless, cryopreservation in the field to ensure RNA and DNA stability is not always possible. We compared several nucleic acid preservation solutions appropriate for field sampling and tested them on rat (Rattus rattus) blood, ear and tail tip, liver, brain and muscle. We compared the efficacy of a nucleic acid preservation (NAP) buffer for DNA preservation against 95% ethanol and Longmire buffer, and for RNA preservation against RNAlater (Qiagen) and Longmire buffer, under simulated field conditions. For DNA, the NAP buffer was slightly better than cryopreservation or 95% ethanol, but high molecular weight DNA was preserved in all conditions. The NAP buffer preserved RNA as well as RNAlater. Liver yielded the best RNA and DNA quantity and quality; thus, liver should be the tissue preferentially collected from euthanized animals. We also show that DNA persists in nonpreserved muscle tissue for at least 1 week at ambient temperature, although degradation is noticeable in a matter of hours. When cryopreservation is not possible, the NAP buffer is an economical alternative for RNA preservation at ambient temperature for at least 2 months and DNA preservation for at least 10 months. 相似文献

The grafting of l-phenylalanine onto low molecular weight chitosan is accomplished by using carbodiimide as a coupling agent. As increase in the amount of phenylalanine in feed, the grafting chain length increases, while a number of grafting chains hardly change. The obtained product, LMWCts-g-Phe, performs sphere with an average size of ~80 nm when the % grafting is less than 123. The complexes of the LMWCts-g-Phe and DNA (LMWCts-g-Phe/DNA) prepared by a complex coacervation method possess various shapes with an average size of ~50–150 nm and a negatively charged surface. The LMWCts-g-Phe and its complex show very reduced toxicity to fibroblast cells. The release of DNA from the complex is very fast in high pH media (tris buffer, pH 8.0 and carbonate buffer, pH 9.5), and relatively slow or more sustainable in neutral and low pH ones (PBS, pH 7.4 and citric acid/trisodium citrate buffer, pH 3.0). The results suggest that the LMWCts-g-Phe be an alternative promising carrier for negatively charged active molecules. 相似文献

Using a polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoretic system similar to that described by J. T. Clarke (1964, Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci.121, 428–436), we have achieved an improved separation of hemoglobins from Rana catesbeiana tadpoles by substituting one of several amino acids in the place of glycine in the electrode chamber buffer. The relative migrations (Rf) and degree of separation of these similar hemoglobins are proportional to the pK′ of the α-amino group of the amino acid used in the buffer. Specifically, for these proteins, log (Rf × 100) was found to be directly proportional to the pK′2 of the amino acid divided by the volume conductivity (specific conductance) of the electrode chamber buffer. For example, improved separation of these hemoglobins in short electrophoretic times can be achieved, at low cost, by using dl-alanine instead of glycine in the buffer. Improved separation of other proteins which migrate at basic pH might be achieved by a similar approach. 相似文献

Understanding the mechanism that controls space-time coordination of elongation and division of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), is critical for fighting the tubercle bacillus. Most of the numerous enzymes involved in the synthesis of Mycolic acid - Arabinogalactan-Peptidoglycan complex (MAPc) in the cell wall are essential in vivo. Using a dynamic approach, we localized Mtb enzymes belonging to the fatty acid synthase-II (FAS-II) complexes and involved in mycolic acid (MA) biosynthesis in a mycobacterial model of Mtb: M. smegmatis. Results also showed that the MA transporter MmpL3 was present in the mycobacterial envelope and was specifically and dynamically accumulated at the poles and septa during bacterial growth. This localization was due to its C-terminal domain. Moreover, the FAS-II enzymes were co-localized at the poles and septum with Wag31, the protein responsible for the polar localization of mycobacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis. The dynamic localization of FAS-II and of the MA transporter with Wag31, at the old-growing poles and at the septum suggests that the main components of the mycomembrane may potentially be synthesized at these precise foci. This finding highlights a major difference between mycobacteria and other rod-shaped bacteria studied to date. Based on the already known polar activities of envelope biosynthesis in mycobacteria, we propose the existence of complex polar machinery devoted to the biogenesis of the entire envelope. As a result, the mycobacterial pole would represent the Achilles'' heel of the bacillus at all its growing stages. 相似文献

Haemophilis influenzae is shown to lack the inducible, error-free repair system for alkylation damage that others have found in Escherichia coli. Prior growth in a low concentration of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine had only an additive effect on a subsequent brief exposure to a high concentration. Furthermore, chloramphenicol did not significantly modify the mutagenic response. In both respects, H. influenzae differs from E. coli. Experiments carried out in preparation for these tests showed that exposure to N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in complex growth medium was more effective by about an order of magnitude than exposure in pH 6.0 tris-maelare buffer in inducing mutations, in killing the cells, and in causing strand breaks in the preexisting DNA and gaps in newly synthesized DNA. Thus the effect of the medium is on the amount of initial damage rather than on some special feature of the mutation process. Part but not all of the effect can be accounted for by the difference in pH of the 2 media. The nature of the mutagenic process is the same under the 2 exposure conditions; i.e., reparable pre-mutational damage is produced by the agent and subsequently converted to final mutation by replication. The dose—effect curves have a non-linear initial portion under both exposure conditions, and possible reasons for this non-linearity are discussed. 相似文献

trans-3-Hydroxy-l-proline is frequently eluted from amino acid analyzer columns as a double or asymmetric peak. This behavior was shown to depend on the size of the hydroxyproline sample, the pH, and the nature of the eluting buffer. Comparison of a number of organic acids used as eluting buffers suggested that the hydroxyl group of malic or citric acid participates in reversible complex formation with 3-hydroxyproline. Evidence for such chemical interaction was obtained by NMR spectrometry. 相似文献

The statistical mechanical approach to complex networks is the dominant paradigm in describing natural and societal complex systems. The study of network properties, and their implications on dynamical processes, mostly focus on locally defined quantities of nodes and edges, such as node degrees, edge weights and –more recently– correlations between neighboring nodes. However, statistical methods quickly become cumbersome when dealing with many-body properties and do not capture the precise mesoscopic structure of complex networks. Here we introduce a novel method, based on persistent homology, to detect particular non-local structures, akin to weighted holes within the link-weight network fabric, which are invisible to existing methods. Their properties divide weighted networks in two broad classes: one is characterized by small hierarchically nested holes, while the second displays larger and longer living inhomogeneities. These classes cannot be reduced to known local or quasilocal network properties, because of the intrinsic non-locality of homological properties, and thus yield a new classification built on high order coordination patterns. Our results show that topology can provide novel insights relevant for many-body interactions in social and spatial networks. Moreover, this new method creates the first bridge between network theory and algebraic topology, which will allow to import the toolset of algebraic methods to complex systems. 相似文献

Novel insights into habitat suitability for two Unionida freshwater mussels, Castalia ambigua Lamarck, 1819 (Hyriidae) and Anodontites elongatus (Swainson, 1823) (Mycetopodidae), are presented on the basis of hydraulic variables linked with the riverbed in six 500‐m reaches in an eastern Amazonian river basin. Within the reaches, there was strong habitat heterogeneity in hydrodynamics and substrate composition. In addition, we investigated stressors based on landscape modification that are associated with declines in mussel density. We measured hydraulic variables for each 500‐m reach, and landscape stressors at two spatial scales (subcatchment and riparian buffer forest). We used the Random Forest algorithm, a tree‐based model, to predict the hydraulic variables linked with habitat suitability for mussels, and to predict which landscape stressors were most associated with mussel density declines. Both mussel species were linked with low substrate heterogeneity and greater riverbed stability (low Froude and Reynolds numbers), especially at high flow (low stream power). Different sediment grain size preferences were observed between mussel species: Castalia ambigua was associated with medium sand and Anodontites elongatus with medium and fine sand. Declines in mussel density were associated with modifications linked to urbanization at small scales (riparian buffer forest), especially with percent of and distance from rural settlements, distance to the nearest street, and road density. In summary, the high variance explained in both hydraulic and landscape models indicated high predictive power, suggesting that our findings may be extrapolated and used as a baseline to test hypotheses of habitat suitability in other Amazonian rivers for Castalia ambigua and Anodontites elongatus and also for other freshwater mussel species. Our results highlight the urgent need for aquatic habitat conservation to maintain sheltered habitats during high flow as well as mitigate the effects of landscape modifications at the riparian buffer scale, both of which are important for maintaining dense mussel populations and habitat quality. 相似文献

AIMS: To evaluate the effect of phosphate buffer concentration on growth and xylitol production by Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fermentations runs were carried out in batch mode employing semisynthetic medium supplemented with phosphate buffer at different concentrations (from 200 to 600 mmol l(-1)). The xylitol yield (Y(P/S)) and volumetric productivity (Q(P)) were improved when the fermentation medium was supplemented with phosphate buffer at concentration of 600 mmol l(-1). Under this condition (Y(P/S)) and (Q(P)) values were 0.75 g g(-1) and 0.66 g l(-1) h(-1), respectively, whereas in the absence of the phosphate buffer these values decreased to 0.52 g g(-1) and 0.44 g l(-1)h(-1) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The use of phosphate buffer at 600 mmol l(-1) promoted an easier pH control during shake flasks fermentation of C. guilliermondii. In addition the xylitol yield and productivity were significantly improved in response to the supplementation of potassium phosphate in the medium. The increase in these parameters could be related to both osmotic effect and pH control. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This approach provided a method for improving the xylitol production from semisynthetic medium by C. guilliermondii, being possible their use as a simple strategy to achieve efficient fermentation processes employing complex medium such as lignocellulosic hydrolysates. 相似文献

We have developed a cell disruption method to produce a protein extract using Trypanosoma cruzi cells based on a straightforward hypoosmotic lysis protocol. The procedure consists of three steps: incubation of the cells in a hypoosmotic lysis buffer, sonication in a water bath, and centrifugation. The final protein extract was designated TcS12. The stages of cell disruption at different incubation times were monitored by differential interference contrast microscopy. After 30 min of incubation in lysis buffer at 4 °C, the T. cruzi epimastigote forms changed from slender to round-shaped parasites. Nevertheless, cell disruption took place following sonication of the sample for 30 min. The efficiency of the methodology was also validated by flow cytometry, which resulted in 72% of propidium iodide (PI)-labeled cells. To estimate the protein extraction yield and the differential protein expression, the proteomics profile of four T. cruzi strains (CL-Brener, Dm28c, Y, and 4167) were analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) on a SYNAPT HDMS system using the label-free MSE approach. ProteinLynx Global Server (version 2.5) with ExpressionE analysis identified a total of 1153 proteins and revealed 428 differentially expressed proteins among the strains. Gene ontology analysis showed that not only cytosolic proteins but also nuclear and organellar ones were present in the extract. 相似文献

Summary The acidification kinetics of artificial solutions containing buffers of different permeancy were studied in rat proximal tubules by means of stationary microperfusion techniques. Luminal pH changes were measured by antimony microelectrodes and used to calculate net rates of acidification and the approach to steady-state pH levels. For most buffer species, tracer efflux out of the lumen was compared with changes in buffer concentration as derived from calculations based on the Henderson Hasselbalch equation. Steady-state luminal pH was similar for most buffer systems studied. However, secretory hydrogen ion fluxes into the lumen were significantly higher for permeant than for less permeant buffers. The most likely explanation is that permeant buffers behave as open systems maintaining constant low diffusible acid levels in the lumen, whereas impermeant buffers behave as closed systems in which nonionized acid levels are maintained at higher levels. A behavior consistent with this thesis was directly demonstrated for glycodiazine and, to a lesser degree, for DMO. In contrast, phosphate and creatinine behave like buffers in a closed cystem. Characteristics of proximal tubular acidification, of buffer reabsorption, and the effect thereupon of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are satisfactorily explained by an essential role of (1) hydrogen ion secretion, (2) pK differences, and (3) different permeance of the non-ionized buffer species. However, specific transport mechanisms may, in addition, also contribute to differences in transepithelial buffer movement. 相似文献

Summary The explanation of the coupling between butyrateinduced changes in cytosolic pH and pCa by means of a H+/Ca2+ exchange buffer as proposed by Plieth et al. [Protoplasma (1997) 198: 107–124; 199: 223] was questioned by Schönknecht and Bethmann [Protoplasma (1998) 203: 206–209]. They suggested an allosteric control of binding similar to the Hill equation. Fitting the measured pH-pCa coupling shows that a distinction between the models requires data which would be outside the experimentally accessible range. Plausibility considerations provide a support for the exchange buffer. The Hill equation is just a phenomenological approach which does not account for the diversity of allosteric mechanisms. The benefits of the exchanger model are firstly its mechanistic simplicity and secondly its flexibility as the same set of equations can also be used for an allosteric interaction between H+- and Ca2+-binding sites. The model can easily be extended to include future more detailed data. Finally, the cytosolic buffer capacities for H+ and Ca2+ are discussed. 相似文献
