A set of methods for analysis of the quality of aminated substrates that could be a basis for the large-scale manufacturing of biological microchips is suggested. The analysis includes the determination of the number of amino groups, their availability for the immobilization of phosphorylated oligonucleotides, and the characterization of surface properties of the substrates in respect to the nonspecific sorption of reagents during hybridization. A simple procedure was suggested for determination of the density/number of amino groups. It is based on the use of dimethoxytrityl chloride with the subsequent spectrophotometric determination of dimethoxytrityl cation. The availability of amino groups was estimated by covalent attachment of an oligonucleotide probe containing a fluorescently labeled group to the aminated surface and the subsequent comparison of the intensity of fluorescing zones formed on the chip. The sorption properties of the surface were investigated with the help of a model hybridization reaction. A comparative analysis of aminated glasses manufactured by various firms and in our laboratory showed that the glasses with the amino group density from 0.7 to 2.0 groups/nm2 prepared by our procedure have the best properties for the hybridization analysis. 相似文献

Functionalization of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a substrate for DNA microarrays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A chemical procedure was developed to functionalize poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates. PMMA is reacted with hexamethylene diamine to yield an aminated surface for immobilizing DNA in microarrays. The density of primary NH2 groups was 0.29 nmol/cm2. The availability of these primary amines was confirmed by the immobilization of DNA probes and hybridization with a complementary DNA strand. The hybridization signal and the hybridization efficiency of the chemically aminated PMMA slides were comparable to the hybridization signal and the hybridization efficiency obtained from differently chemically modified PMMA slides, silanized glass, commercial silylated glass and commercial plastic Euray™ slides. Immobilized and hybridized densities of 10 and 0.75 pmol/cm2, respectively, were observed for microarrays on chemically aminated PMMA. The immobilized probes were heat stable since the hybridization performance of microarrays subjected to 20 PCR heat cycles was only reduced by 4%. In conclusion, this new strategy to modify PMMA provides a robust procedure to immobilize DNA, which is a very useful substrate for fabricating single use diagnostics devices with integrated functions, like sample preparation, treatment and detection using microfabrication and microelectronic techniques. 相似文献

Surgical adhesives have been used for several applications, including haemostasis, sealing air leakages and tissue adhesion. The aim of this work was to develop a biodegradable urethane-based bioadhesive containing free isocyanate groups. This material presents the advantage of being biodegradable, biocompatible and having the capacity of reacting with amino groups present in the biological molecules. A urethane based on castor oil (CO) was synthesized by reaction of the molecule with isophorone diisocyanate (IPD). The characterization of the material was accomplished by different techniques: ATR-FT-IR (attenuated transmittance reflection-Fourier transform infrared), swelling capacity determination, evaluation of the moisture curing kinetics, reaction with aminated substrates and determination of surface energy by contact angle measurement. The study of the urethane thermal properties was performed by DMTA (dynamical mechanical thermal analysis) and TGA (thermogravimetric analysis). The haemocompatibility of the urethane was also evaluated by thrombosis and haemolysis tests. 相似文献

Biocompatible polymers are commonly functionalized with specific moieties such as amino groups to modify their surface properties and/or to attach bioactive compounds. A reliable method is usually required to characterize amino group surface densities. In this study, aminated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films were generated via an aminolysis reaction involving either ethylenediamine molecules (EtDA), in order to vary easily the amino group density on PET surfaces, or 25 kDa polyvinylamine (PVAm) as an alternative reagent preventing bulk damages resulting from the aminolysis reaction. Among commonly used dyes for amino group quantification, Orange II and Coomassie Brillant Blue (CBB) were selected to quantify the extent of amine grafting resulting from these derivatization procedures. Rapid and convenient colorimetric assays were compared to surface atomic compositions obtained from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. Orange II was found to be the most appropriate dye for quantifying primary amine groups in a reliable and specific way. Due to its unique negative charge and low steric hindrance compared to CBB, the Orange II dye was very sensitive and provided reliable quantification over a wide range of amino group surface densities (ca. 5 to at least 200 pmol/mm(2)). In order to further validate the use of the Orange II dye for amino group quantification, a heterobifunctional linker reacting with amino groups was then grafted on modified PET surfaces. Interestingly, the good correlation between the densities of adsorbed Orange II and covalently grafted linkers suggests that the Orange II method is a relevant, reliable, easy, and inexpensive method to predict the amount of amino groups available for subsequent functionalization of polymer surfaces. 相似文献

A new protocol that enables the immobilization of DNA probes on aminated micro-titer plates activated with aldehyde-dextran via an amino group artificially introduced in the 3' end of the oligonucleotide probe is reported in this work. The method is based on the use of hetero-functional-dextran as a long and multifunctional spacer arm covalently attached to an aminated surface capable of immobilizing DNA oligonucleotides. The immobilization occurred only via the amino introduced in the 3' end of the probe, with no implication of the DNA bases in the immobilization, ensuring that the full length of the probe is available for hybridization. These plates having immobilized oligonucleotide probes are able to hybridize complementary DNA target molecules. The tailor-made hetero-functional aldehyde-aspartic-dextran together with the chemical blocking of the remaining primary amino groups on the support using acetic anhydride avoid the nonspecific adsorption of DNA on the surface of the plates. Using these activated plates, (studying the effect of the probe concentration, temperature, and time of the plate activation on the achieved signal), thus, the covalent immobilization of the aminated DNA probe was optimized, and the sensitivity obtained was similar to that achieved using commercial biotin-streptavidin systems. The new DNA plates are stable under very drastic experimental conditions (90% formamide, at 100 degrees C for 30 min or in 100 mM NaOH). 相似文献

A single bond covalent immobilization of aminated DNA probes on magnetic particles suitable for selective molecular hybridization of traces of DNA samples has been developed. Commercial superparamagnetic nanoparticles containing amino groups were activated by coating with a hetero-functional polymer (aldehyde-aspartic-dextran). This new immobilization procedure provides many practical advantages: (a) DNA probes are immobilized far from the support surface preventing steric hindrances; (b) the surface of the nanoparticles cannot adsorb DNA ionically; (c) DNA probes are bound via a very strong covalent bond (a secondary amine) providing very stable immobilized probes (at 100 degrees C, or in 70% formamide, or 0.1N NaOH). Due to the extreme sensitivity of this purification procedure based on DNA hybridization, the detection of hybridized products could be coupled to a PCR-ELISA direct amplification of the DNA bond to the magnetic nanoparticles. As a model system, an aminated DNA probe specific for detecting Hepatitis C Virus cDNA was immobilized according to the optimised procedure described herein. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles containing the immobilized HCV probe were able to give a positive result after PCR-ELISA detection when hybridized with 1 mL of solution containing 10(-18) g/mL of HCV cDNA (two molecules of HCV cDNA). In addition, the detection of HCV cDNA was not impaired by the addition to the sample solution of 2.5 million-fold excess of non-complementary DNA. The experimental data supports the use of magnetic nanoparticles containing DNA probes immobilized by the procedure here described as a convenient and extremely sensitive procedure for purification/detection DNA/RNA from biological samples. The concentration/purification potential of the magnetic nanoparticles, its stability under a wide range of conditions, coupled to the possibility of using the particles directly in amplification by PCR greatly reinforces this methodology as a molecular diagnostic tool. 相似文献

A mild chemical procedure for the derivatization of PMMA as the isocyanate on rigid supports is described. The proposal is based on spin-coating the support with a hydroxy-modified PMMA polymer, followed by treatment with (3-isocyanatopropyl)triethoxysilane, developing an isocyanate-ended PMMA. Oligonucleotide hybridization assays performed on this surface demonstrate that the process is simple and highly effective and agree with the results of other modified materials, including aminated PMMA, gold, and glass. As a demonstration, it has been applied to covalently attached aminated oligonucleotides on a modified audio-video compact disc (CD) surface to perform DNA probe hybridization assays. Measurements were carried out with a CD player, by detecting the solid microspots precipitated from an enzymatic reaction (HRP-TMB). This new approach, being a competitive technique, opens a broad horizon of applications for point of care or in situ needs. 相似文献

Agave aminopeptidase, a new enzyme obtained from the plant Agave americana displayed activity towards a variety of substrates. A free alphaamino group on these substrates was essential, but the enzyme did not need any metal ions for optimal activity. Aliphatic, aromatic and basic amino acids situated at the amino terminal end of substrates could be hydrolysed by the enzyme. The enzyme had no endopeptidase or other proteolytic activity. Values of the apparent Michaelis constants for different amino acid substrates, all in the range from 0.1 to 0.6 × 10?3 M, suggested a relative wide specificity. The pK-values of the two dissociating groups on the enzyme taking part in the catalytic process were pH 6.3 to 6.8 and pH 7.5 to 7.8. These and other studies suggested that histidine plays an active role in the catalytic process. The enzyme was inhibited competitively by free amino acids and this, together with other results, implied a compulsory order of product release. 相似文献

A procedure is described for the large-scale purification of synthetic oligonucleotides using a polystyrene (PRP-1, Hamilton Co.) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column with a phosphate/methanol/acetonitrile solvent system. Pure oligonucleotides are obtained with a three-step procedure that involves only one column purification step. The dimethoxytrityl group is left on the oligomer for the HPLC purification. The use of the PRP-1 polystyrene column with a phosphate/methanol/acetonitrile solvent system provides excellent separation of the desired dimethoxytrityl-bearing oligonucleotide from failure sequences. The dimethoxytrityl group is removed by treatment with acetic acid and the oligonucleotide is desalted on a C-18 Sep-Pak cartridge. The oligodeoxynucleotides obtained are shown to be essentially pure by HPLC, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and 500-MHzNMR spectroscopy. This procedure is especially useful for the large-scale purification of oligonucleotides required for NMR studies. The PRP-1 column and the phosphate/methanol/acetonitrile solvent system is useful for purifying modified oligonucleotides containing lipophilic groups such as the carcinogen 2-(acetylamino)fluorene. 相似文献

This study demonstrates highest biosorption of Fe followed by Ni and Cr by Microcystis in single, bi and trimetallic combination. Fe was not only preferentially adsorbed from the metal mixtures but Ni and Cr failed to decrease its biosorption. The agreement of the data of Fe biosorption with the Langmuir model suggested monolayer sorption and existence of constant sorption energy during the experimental conditions. In contrast to Fe biosorption, Ni and Cr sorption followed the Freundlich isotherm; this demonstrates a multilayer biosorption of the two metals. IR analysis of Microcystis cells confirmed the presence of a large number of -COO(-) and some amino groups in the Microcystis cell wall. The oxygen and nitrogen donor atoms from carboxyl and amino groups were found to play a vital role in metal biosorption by Microcystis cell walls, and ion exchange mechanisms were involved in the biosorption of test metals. Extra peaks present in Ni and Cr treated cells implied that amino groups are more responsible for Ni and Cr biosorption. 相似文献

A simple method for determining the enzymic hydrolysis parameters of lipid-like substrates and trilaurin assembled in monolayers at the water-air interface was suggested. At a surface pressure of 10 mN/m, the initial rates of lipolysis were found to be proportional to the decrease in area of the substrate monolayer caused by the enzymic hydrolysis in a single-compartment Langmuir balance. The kinetic parameters for the hydrolysis of trilaurin and three 1,3-dilaurylpseudoglycerides acetylated in position 2 with an amino acid (phenylalanine, leucine, or valine) catalyzed with lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens were determined. Unlike models of enzymic hydrolysis that neglect the thickness of the substrate monolayer, our method allows the determination of kinetic parameters in standard dimensions. The values of kcat for the synthetic pseudoglycerides were found to be significantly higher than that for trilaurin, while the values of Km(app) were close. This may be due to the presence of positively charged primary amino groups in the molecules of pseudoglycerides. 相似文献

Automated synthesis of new ferrocenyl-modified oligonucleotides: study of their properties in solution 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have developed new ferrocenyl-modified oligonucleotide (ODN) probes for electrochemical DNA sensors. A monofunctional ferrocene containing phosphoramidite group has been prepared, and a new bisfunctional ferrocene containing phosphoramidite and dimethoxytrityl (DMT) groups has been developed. These ferrocenyl-phosphoramidites have been directly employed in an automated solid-phase DNA synthesizer using phosphoramidite chemistry. The advantages of this method are that it allows a non-specialist in nucleotide chemistry to access labeled ODNs and that it has demonstrated good results. ODNs modified at the 3′ and/or 5′ extremities have been prepared, with the incorporation of the ferrocenyl group into the chain. The 5′ position appears to be more important due to its particular behavior. The thermal stability and electrochemical properties of these new ODN ferrocenes were analyzed before and after hybridization with different ODNs. The feasibility of using these new ferrocenyl-labeled ODNs in DNA sensors has been demonstrated. 相似文献

A successful strategy for the immobilization of rennet from Mucor miehei has been developed. The strategy is based on the immobilization of the enzyme, via their sugar chains at high ionic strength on aminated supports having primary amino groups with a very low pK value. The rennet was covalently immobilized via sugar chains (previously oxidized with periodate), which act as natural spacer arms and allow a very high percentage of rennet activity to be kept against small (H-Leu-Ser-p-nitro-Phe-Nle-Ala-Leu-OMe.TFA (98%)) and macromolecular substrates (k-casein) (78%). The use of tailor-made aminated support was critical to obtain good stability values, because using fully aminated supports achieved much lower thermostability values than using 50% aminated supports. The optimized derivative was utilized to hydrolyze casein in milk. To prevent the coagulation of the milk in the presence of the derivative, the reaction was performed at 4 degrees C (where hydrolyzed casein did not precipitate). Then the hydrolyzed milk was filtered and latter on heated to 30 degrees C, achieving a similar aggregate to the one achieved with soluble rennet. 相似文献

This study presents two-step and multistep reactions for modifying the surface of plasma-functionalized poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) surfaces for subsequent conjugation of biologically relevant molecules. First, PTFE films were treated by a radiofrequency glow discharge (RFGD) ammonia plasma to introduce amino groups on the fluoropolymer surface. This plasma treatment is well optimized and allows the incorporation of a relative surface concentration of approximately 2-3.5% of amino groups, as assessed by chemical derivatization followed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In a second step, these amino groups were further reacted with various chemical reagents to provide the surface with chemical functionalities such as maleimides, carboxylic acids, acetals, aldehydes, and thiols, that could be used later on to conjugate a wide variety of biologically relevant molecules such as proteins, DNA, drugs, etc. In the present study, glutaric and cis-aconitic anhydrides were evaluated for their capability to provide carboxylic functions to the PTFE plasma-treated surface. Bromoacetaldehyde diethylacetal was reacted with the aminated PTFE surface, providing a diethylacetal function, which is a latent form of aldehyde functionality. Reactions with cross-linkers such as sulfo-succinimidyl derivatives (sulfo-SMCC, sulfo-SMPB) were evaluated to provide a highly reactive maleimide function suitable for further chemical reactions with thiolated molecules. Traut reagent (2-iminothiolane) was also conjugated to introduce a thiol group onto the fluoropolymer surface. PTFE-modified surfaces were analyzed by XPS with a particular attention to quantify the extent of the reactions that occurred on the polymer. Finally, surface immobilization of fibronectin performed using either glutaric anhydride or sulfo-SMPB activators demonstrated the importance of selecting the appropriate conjugation strategy to retain the protein biological activity. 相似文献

The free amino group of a dipeptide reacts efficiently with fluores-camine (FLURAM®) to form pyrrolinone-type chromophores with long wavelength absorption maxima in the 380 nm region. A simple test tube procedure is described which allows determination of the absolute configuration of the NH2-terminal amino acids of the dipeptides based on the chiroptical properties of their chromophoric derivatives. 相似文献

In this paper, the stabilization of a lipase from Bacillus thermocatenulatus (BTL2) by a new strategy is described. First, the lipase is selectively adsorbed on hydrophobic supports. Second, the carboxylic residues of the enzyme are modified with ethylenediamine, generating a new enzyme having 4-fold more amino groups than the native enzyme. The chemical amination did not present a significant effect on the enzyme activity and only reduced the enzyme half-life by a 3-4-fold factor in inactivations promoted by heat or organic solvents. Next, the aminated and purified enzyme is desorbed from the support using 0.2% Triton X-100. Then, the aminated enzyme was immobilized on glyoxyl-agarose by multipoint covalent attachment. The immobilized enzyme retained 65% of the starting activity. Because of the lower p K of the new amino groups in the enzyme surface, the immobilization could be performed at pH 9 (while the native enzyme was only immobilized at pH over 10). In fact, the immobilization rate was higher at this pH value for the aminated enzyme than that of the native enzyme at pH 10. The optimal stabilization protocol was the immobilization of aminated BTL2 at pH 9 and the further incubation for 24 h at 25 degrees C and pH 10. This preparation was 5-fold more stable than the optimal BTL2 immobilized on glyoxyl agarose and around 1200-fold more stable than the enzyme immobilized on CNBr and further aminated. The catalytic properties of BTL2 could be greatly modulated by the immobilization protocol. For example, from (R/S)-2- O-butyryl-2-phenylacetic acid, one preparation of BTL2 could be used to produce the S-isomer, while other preparation produced the R-isomer. 相似文献

Aminated polysaccharides have been extensively investigated for a wide range of biomedical applications. To achieve targeted properties such as solubility and miscibility, it can be beneficial to modify the polysaccharide hydroxyl groups selectively while leaving the amino groups unmodified. This tends to be difficult because of the higher reactivity of primary amines than hydroxyl groups toward electrophilic reagents. We describe herein a new method that can produce O-acylated, aminated polysaccharides with extremely high selectivity. In this procedure, 6-azido-6-deoxy-cellulose esters are synthesized from 6-bromo-6-deoxy-cellulose esters. The azide groups are then selectively and mildly reduced using the Staudinger reaction to produce 6-amino-6-deoxy-2,3-di-O-acyl-cellulose derivatives. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the Staudinger reduction on a polysaccharide substrate in the presence of easily reducible ester groups. 相似文献

A filter hybridization method employing bacterial samples and [125I]labeled chromosomal DNA as a probe was used for DNA-DNA hybridization. It was found that the hybrids had a thermal melting temperature very similar to that of duplexes formed by purified filterbound DNA. The difference in thermal denaturation midpoint between homologous and heterologous duplexes was determined for a number of strains ofAcinetobacter spp. andEnterobacter agglomerans. A comparison with the corresponding data obtained by the hydroxyapatite method showed good correlation between the two methods. The use of bacterial samples in filter hybridization omits the time-consuming DNA preparation procedure necessary for traditional DNA-DNA hybridization procedures. A simplified, two-step elution procedure is suggested for processing large numbers of strains. 相似文献

Modification of activity and specificity of haloalkane dehalogenase from Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26 by engineering of its entrance tunnel 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chaloupková R Sýkorová J Prokop Z Jesenská A Monincová M Pavlová M Tsuda M Nagata Y Damborský J 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2003,278(52):52622-52628
Structural comparison of three different haloalkane dehalogenases suggested that substrate specificity of these bacterial enzymes could be significantly influenced by the size and shape of their entrance tunnels. The surface residue leucine 177 positioned at the tunnel opening of the haloalkane dehalogenase from Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26 was selected for modification based on structural and phylogenetic analysis; the residue partially blocks the entrance tunnel, and it is the most variable pocket residue in haloalkane dehalogenase-like proteins with nine substitutions in 14 proteins. Mutant genes coding for proteins carrying all possible substitutions in position 177 were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. In total, 15 active protein variants were obtained, suggesting a relatively high tolerance of the site for the introduction of mutations. Purified protein variants were kinetically characterized by determination of specific activities with 12 halogenated substrates and steady-state kinetic parameters with two substrates. The effect of mutation on the enzyme activities varied dramatically with the structure of the substrates, suggesting that extrapolation of one substrate to another may be misleading and that a systematic characterization of the protein variants with a number of substrates is essential. Multivariate analysis of activity data revealed that catalytic activity of mutant enzymes generally increased with the introduction of small and nonpolar amino acid in position 177. This result is consistent with the phylogenetic analysis showing that glycine and alanine are the most commonly occurring amino acids in this position among haloalkane dehalogenases. The study demonstrates the advantages of using rational engineering to develop enzymes with modified catalytic properties and substrate specificities. The strategy of using site-directed mutagenesis to modify a specific entrance tunnel residue identified by structural and phylogenetic analyses, rather than combinatorial screening, generated a high percentage of viable mutants. 相似文献
