Light scattering and viscometric studies have been carried out on two preparations, A and B, of rooster comb hyaluronate. Sedimentation rate studies have also been performed with A. Light scattering measurements in 0.2 m KCl for preparation A gave a molecular weight of 3.3 × 106 and for B, 1.0 × 106. In (0.1–0.3) M NaCl similar measurements gave a particle weight for A of (4.4–6.4 × 106 and for B (1.7–2.8 × 106. In 0.066 m CaCl2 molecular weight values of 9.5 × 106 for A and 1.7 × 106 for B were obtained. Thus in the presence of Na+ and Ca2+ ions aggregates of chains persisted into dilute solution. Measurements by light scattering on A and B in 4 m guanidinium chloride gave values in the same range as those obtained in 0.2 m KCl. Sedimentation rate studies on A gave values of 10.3 Svedbergs in 0.2 m KCl and 12.2 Svedbergs in 0.2 m NaCl and 0.066m CaCl2. The shear dependence of the viscosity was studied using a conicylindrical viscometer at shear rates between 0.5 and 20 s?1. Preparation A in 0.2 m KCl and NaCl yielded values for (νsp/cc→0 of 5000 and 7100 ml g?1 respectively in keeping with the tendency to aggregate. The behaviour for preparation B was similar. In 0.066 m CaCl2 there was a marked dependence of viscosity on shear speed below 10 s?1 for all concentrations and the value of (νsp/c)→0 at 0 s?1 for preparation A was 7700 ml g?1 while at a shear rate of 8 s?1 (νsp/c)c→0 ? 5000 ml g ?1. Similar effects were found for preparation B and the data suggest associations of chains disruptable by weak shear forces. The increase in viscosity with concentration in the presence of 0.066 m CaCl2 was much less than in the presence of KCl or NaCl, suggesting that the Ca2+ had a marked effect on the ”rigidity’ of the molecules in solution. A viscometric titration experiment with Ca2? showed that a level of 0.02 m CaCl2 in 0.2 m NaCl was sufficient to produce the change in viscosity presented above and that significant perturbations of the viscosity were present at 0.005?0.01 m CaCl2. 相似文献

Various molecular parameters, which characterize sodium hyaluronate in 0.2M NaCl solution, were obtained at 25°C by means of the static and dynamic light scattering and low shear viscometry over the molecular weight range of 5.94–627 × 104. Molecular weight distribution was obtained by using the Laplace inversion method of the autocorrelation function of the scattered light intensity and by Yamakawa theory for the wormlike chain with the stiff chain parameters for sodium hyaluronate in 0.2M NaCl (persistence length, chain diameter, molar mass per unit contour length, and the excluded‐volume strength). The molecular weight distribution thus obtained reproduced the solution properties of sodium hyaluronate well. Especially, the intrinsic viscosity showed a good agreement over four orders of molecular weight with Yamakawa theory combined with the Barrett function. Sodium hyaluronate in 0.2M NaCl solution is well expressed by the wormlike chain model affected by the excluded‐volume effect with the persistence length of 4.2 nm. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Hyaluronate purified from all cations by ion exchange chromatography was introduced to the cations sodium, potassium and calcium in a controlled way. The conformations formed in the presence of these ions were studied as a function of ionic strength, hydrogen ion activity, humidity and temperature using X-ray fibre diffraction. In sodium hyaluronate above pH 4.0 a contracted helix is found which approximates to a four-fold helix with an axial rise per disaccharide of 0.84 nm. There is no requirement for water molecules in the unit cell as the Na+ can be coordinate by the hyaluronate chains alone. On crystallizing hyaluronate below pH 4.0 an extended 2-fold helix with an axial rise per disaccharide of 0.98 nm is formed. In the presence of potassium above pH 4.0 a conformation similar, but not identical, to that of sodium was found where the helix backbone is again four-fold with an axial rise per disaccharide h=0.90 nm. To maintain the coordination of the potassium ion, four water molecule/disaccharide are required and on removal of these the conformation is destabilized going to a new helix where n = 4 and h = 0.97 nm. Below pH 4.0 the conformation is a contracted 4-fold helix with h = 0.82 nm. In this structure two antiparallel chains intertwine to form a double helix. The packing of the double helical units is stabilized by water molecules, the unit cell requiring 8 water molecules/disaccharide. Formation of the calcium hyaluronate complex above pH 3.5 yields a three-fold helix with h = 0.95 nm. The requirement for water in the unit cell to maintain full crystallinity is high, at 9 water molecules/disaccharide; however, on removal of this water, though the crystallinity is disrupted, the conformation remains constant. The acid form of calcium-hyaluronate yields an equivalent conformation to that of sodium under the same condition, i.e. a helix with n = 2, h = 0.98 nm. The presence of small quantities of calcium in what are otherwise potassium or sodium solutions of hyaluronate yield the 3-fold conformation for hyaluronate. Thus calcium has an important role to play in deciding the dominating conformation present in hyaluronate. The variety of conformations yielded by the different cations indicates a subtle interaction between hyaluronate and its environment, in which the balance between the cations will control to some degree the interactions between hyaluronate chains and thus affect the mechanical properties of the matrix which they form. The conformations of individual chains are all stabilized in varying degrees by intra-chain hydrogen bonds. 相似文献

Effects of sodium chloride (NaCl), guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl), or sucrose on the viscoelasticity of sodium hyaluronate (NaHA) solutions were studied. NaCl and GuHCl decreased both storage and loss moduli, while sucrose increased both moduli. The critical concentration C* was determined as an inflection point in the plot of zero shear specific viscosity vs concentration for NaHA solutions with and without NaCl, GuHCl, or sucrose. It is suggested that sodium ions or guanidinium ions shield the electrostatic repulsion of NaHA molecules, hence reduce the coil dimension, and C* shifted to higher concentrations. However, sucrose enhances the entanglement coupling between NaHA molecules and retards the disentanglement of molecular chains or promotes to create hydrogen bonds, and then C* for NaHA solutions with sucrose shifts to lower concentrations. This is in agreement with the results of light scattering measurements in the presence of 0.2M NaCl. Both the radius of gyration and hydrodynamic radius of NaHA were reduced in dilute solutions by the addition of sucrose, and added sucrose enhances the interaction between NaHA monomer units. In the case of concentrated NaHA solution, such interactions result to increase the storage and loss moduli because of the enhancement of temporary network formation. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) from bovine erythrocytes was conjugated with sodium hyaluronate (HA) with a mean molecular weight
of 106 to have greater anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. Amino groups of SOD were coupled with carboxyl groups in the hyaluronate
molecule using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide. The HA-SOD conjugate was composed of 1.5 mol of SOD molecule
per 1 mol of hyaluronate on the average, and retained 70% of the activity of unmodified SOD. The conjugate was essentially
non-immunogenic in mice, and exhibited much higher anti-inflammatory activities than HA or SOD in models of inflammatory diseases
such as ischemic oedema of the foot-pad in mice, carrageenin-induced pleurisy and adjuvant arthritis in rats.

This work reports the molecular weight (MW) analysis of high MW dextran using multiangle light scattering (MALS) in both chromatography and automated batch measurement mode. The results show that the chromatographic columns alter the high MW native dextran and cause underestimation of the MW as a consequence. Alternatively, a batch MALS measurement (without columns) provides more accurate MW values. The batch MALS measurement was automated with the incorporation of an automatic sample dilution and injection device. This automation reduces the sample preparation time and minimizes concentration errors introduced by manual sample dilution. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study using an automated batch MALS in the analysis of high MW dextran. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 103: 387–392, 2015. 相似文献

SummaryIn order to get a better understanding in the mechanism by which tryptophan-N-formylated gramicidin (NFG) and gramicidin kill the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in vitro, we studied the capacity of these peptides to change the potassium, as well as the sodium, composition of normal human erythrocytes, and their ability to cause cell lysis. It is shown that both peptides are able to induce potassium leakage from, and sodium flux into, erythrocytes in such a manner that it is most likely that they are able to form cation channels in the membrane of these cells. For both peptides, potassium efflux proceeds at a faster rate than sodium influx, but this difference is greater for NFG than for gramicidin. This explains the observation that gramicidin is more lytic than NFG is, even when comparing concentrations that show the same antimalarial activity. The finding that gramicidin is approximately 10 times more active than NFG in causing potassium efflux from normal erythrocytes, as well as in killing the malaria parasite, supports the hypothesis that peptideinduced parasite death is related to their capacity to induce potassium leakage from infected erythrocytes. Finally, the observation that erythrocytes are able to restore their normal ion contents after losing more than 50% of their potassium content by incubation with NFG or gramicidin, suggests that, in vivo, and upon treatment with drug concentrations that cause full inhibition of parasite growth, these cells would not be irreversibly damaged by action of the drugs. 相似文献

Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) were very sensitive to moderate concentrations of NaCl, showing a dramatic decrease in their K+ content in the presence of this salt. Increasing the KCl content of the nutrient medium released the inhibitory effect of NaCl by increasing the K+ content of the plants. Likewise moderate concentrations of KCl were toxic for bean plants because they produced a large K+ loading. NaCl partially released this toxicity by inhibiting the K+ loading. When compared to the moderately salt tolerant sunflower plants (Helianthus annuus), bean plants showed a lower capacity to discriminate between K+ and Na+, at high Na+ levels, and an uncontrolled K+ uptake at moderate concentrations of K+. It is concluded that this low capacity of discrimination of the K+ uptake system of bean plants in presence of Na+ can account for by the NaCl sensitivity of bean plants. 相似文献

Correlation between antitumor activity, molecular weight, and conformation of lentinan 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
A (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan having (1-->6) branching (L-FV-IB) from Lentinus edodes in water was degraded into seven fractions of different molecular weights by ultrasonic irradiation, and each was further fractionated into three parts, by precipitation from water into acetone at room temperature. The weight-average molecular weight (M(w)), radius of gyration ((z)(1/2)), and intrinsic viscosity ([eta]) of lentinan and its fractions in 0.9% NaCl aqueous solution and dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO) were determined by size-exclusion chromatography combined with multi-angle laser light scattering (SEC-LLS), LLS, and viscometry. Analysis of M(w), [eta], and (z)(1/2) in terms of known theory for worm-like chains yielded 2240 +/- 100 nm(-1), and 100 +/- 10 nm for molar mass per unit contour length (M(L)), and persistence length (q), respectively, corresponding with theoretical data for triple-helical chains. The [alpha](D) of lentinan in water-Me(2)SO mixtures indicated an order-disorder transition. The results indicated that lentinan exists as a triple helix in 0.9% NaCl aqueous solution and as a single flexible chain in Me(2)SO. Assays in vivo and in vitro against the growth of Sarcoma 180 solid tumor as well as the colorimetric 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method for lentinan showed that the triple-helix sample exhibited a relatively high inhibition ratio. Interestingly, the triple-helix lentinan with M(w) of 1.49 x 10(6) exhibited the highest antitumor activity in vivo, having an inhibition ratio (xi) of 49.5%, close to that of 5-fluorouracil (xi = 50.5%), whereas the bioactivity (xi = 12.3%) of its single flexible chains almost disappeared. The triple-helix conformation plays an important role in enhancing the antitumor effects of lentinan. 相似文献

Potassium(Kt) is an essential macronutrient in plants and a lack of Ktsignificantly reduces the potential for plant growth and development. By contrast, sodium(Nat),while beneficial to some extent, at high concentrations it disturbs and inhibits various physiological processes and plant growth. Due to their chemical similarities, some functions of Kt can be undertaken by Natbut Kthomeostasis is severely affected by salt stress, on the other hand. Recent advances have highlighted the fascinating regulatory mechanisms of Kt and Nattransport and signaling in plants. This review summarizes three major topics:(i) the transport mechanisms of Ktand Natfrom the soil to the shoot and to the cellular compartments;(ii) the mechanisms through which plants sense and respond to Ktand Natavailability; and(iii) the components involved in maintenance of Kt/Nathomeostasis in plants under salt stress. 相似文献

Dextran synthesis has been studied since the Second World War, when it was used as blood plasma expander. This polysaccharide
composed of glucose units is linked by an α-1,6-glucosidic bond. Dextransucrase is a bacterial extra cellular enzyme, which
promotes the dextran synthesis from sucrose. When, besides sucrose, another substrate (acceptor) is also present in the reactor,
oligosaccharides are produced and part of the glucosyl moieties from glucose is consumed to form these acceptor products,
decreasing the dextran yield. Although dextran enzymatic synthesis has been extensively studied, there are few published studies
regarding its molecular weight distribution. In this work, the effect of maltose on yield and dextran molecular weight synthesized
using dextransucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B512F, was investigated. According to the obtained results, maltose is not able to control and reduce dextran molecular weight
distribution and synthesis carried out with or without maltose presented the same molecular weight distribution profile. 相似文献

Potassium (K+) is an essential macronutrient in plants and a lack of K+ significantly reduces the potential for plant growth and development. By contrast, sodium (Na+), while beneficial to some extent, at high concentrations it disturbs and inhibits various physiological processes and plant growth. Due to their chemical similarities, some functions of K+ can be undertaken by Na+ but K+ homeostasis is severely affected by salt stress, on the other hand. Recent advances have highlighted the fascinating regulatory mechanisms of K+ and Na+ transport and signaling in plants. This review summarizes three major topics: (i) the transport mechanisms of K+ and Na+ from the soil to the shoot and to the cellular - compartments; (ii) the mechanisms through which plants sense and respond to K+ and Na+ availability; and (iii) the components involved in maintenance of K+/Na+ homeostasis in plants under salt stress. 相似文献

Quaternized chitosan derivatives with different molecular weights were synthesized in the laboratory. Subsequent experiments were conducted to test their antifungal activities against Botrytis cinerea Pers. (B. cinerea pers.) and Colletotrichum lagenarium (Pass) Ell.et halst (C. lagenarium (Pass) Ell.et halst). Our results indicate that quaternized chitosan derivatives have stronger antifungal activities than chitosan. Furthermore, quaternized chitosan derivatives with high molecular weight are shown to have even stronger antifungal activities than those with low molecular weight. 相似文献

Cereal beta-glucans can form aggregates in aqueous solution. The presence of aggregates in cereal beta-glucan solutions led to inaccurate determination of molecular weights and it was believed that intermolecular hydrogen bonding caused the aggregation. To eliminate aggregates, a carbanilation method for molecular weight determination of cereal beta-glucans was developed. Wheat beta-glucan samples were selected for investigation. The carbanilation method can prevent intermolecular hydrogen bonding by blocking hydroxyl groups with phenyl carbamate groups. The carbanilates of cereal beta-glucans were prepared by the reaction of cereal beta-glucans with phenylisocyanate catalyzed by DMSO and pyridine. To avoid degradation during the carbanilation reaction, relatively mild conditions were used, which led to incomplete substitution (DS: approximately 2). However, after the carbanilation reaction, the carbanilates dissolved completely in 1,4-dioxane solution without any detectable aggregates, which allowed accurate molecular weight determination. The degree of substitution (DS) of carbanilates was determined by both a nitrogen content method and an FT-IR method. The FT-IR method proved to be the more effective for DS estimation. Using this method, the converted molecular weights of cereal beta-glucans were in good agreement with the results measured in 0.5M NaOH solution, which previously was shown to be a good solvent for cereal beta-glucans. After the carbanilation reaction, conformational changes of carbanilates were studied by static and dynamic light scattering techniques. The fractal dimension (d(f)=2.27) and the structure sensitive parameters (rho >2) suggested a porous globular structure for partially carbanilated beta-glucans. 相似文献

The M/G ratio, dyad and triad frequencies in the sodium alginate chain, were determined from 13C-nmr spectra. The interactions of sodium alginate in solution with the univalent cations K+ ion and Na+ ion have been investigated by viscometry and membrane osmometry. The dependencies of intrinsic viscosity, Huggins constant, and second virial coefficient on ionic strength were observed, and the maximums in reduced viscosity were obtained in low KCl and NaCl concentrations, respectively. These show that the electroviscous effects play an important role in polyelectrolyte solution, and the effect of the Na+ ion on aqueous solution of sodium alginate is greater than the K+ ion. The experimental observations are interpreted in terms of ion-pair formation with carboxyl groups of mannuronate and isolated guluronate residues and cooperation “egg-box” binding between polyguluronate chain sequence. The difference of interaction between univalent cations and alginate chains in solution is attributed to the ability of their binding with the polyion, which depends on the properties of ions itself. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effect of pH on molecular weight and size of fulvic acids in drainage water from peaty grassland in NW Netherlands 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Summary The effect of pH on the molecular weight and size of fulvic acids (FA) in a peaty ditch water was studied by dialysis, Sephadex G-25 gel filtration and ultrafiltration. The results of these techniques of fractionating according to particle size indicated that the molecular weight and size of FA decrease with decreasing pH. The ratio of the light absorbances at 250 and 365 nm (E2/E3) of ditch water increased with decreasing pH corresponding with the results of dialysis, gel filtration and ultrafiltration of FA.Our results do not correspond with the ideas of the macromolecular structure of soil FA as developed by Schnitzer16. 相似文献

Structure and molecular weight of Asian lacquer polysaccharides 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Structural analysis of Asian lacquer polysaccharides in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Taiwan, and Japan was carried out by a combination of chemical and physical methods, and then their structures were compared with that of a Chinese lacquer polysaccharide reported previously. It was found that the structure of polysaccharides in China and Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam, Myanmar and Cambodia, was similar to each other. The polysaccharides in Myanmar and Cambodia had larger amounts of
-arabinose and
-rhamnose than those in other Asian lacquer polysaccharides. In addition, the degradation process of lacquer polysaccharide was revealed for the first time by the time-course of GPC measurements of polysaccharide in Aizu, Japan. The results suggest that the molecular weight of polysaccharide in lacquer tree had around
with narrow molecular weight distribution and then decreased gradually into two molecular weight fractions of
and 23×103 in the proportion of 25 and 75 mol% isolated after 3 weeks. 相似文献

The molecular mass of the polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) is an important determinant of its biological activity and physicochemical properties. One method currently used for the analysis of the molecular mass distribution of an HA sample is gel electrophoresis. In the current work, an improved agarose gel electrophoresis method for analysis of high molecular mass HA is presented and validated. HA mobility in 0.5% agarose minigels was found to be linearly related to the logarithm of molecular mass in the range from approximately 200 to 6000 kDa. A sample load of 2.5 μg for polydisperse HA samples was employed. Densitometric scanning of stained gels allowed analysis of the range of molecular masses present in the sample as well as calculation of weight-average and number-average values. The method was validated for a polydisperse HA sample with a weight-average molecular mass of approximately 2000 kDa. Excellent agreement was found between the weight-average molecular mass determined by electrophoresis and that determined by rheological measurement of the solution viscosity. The revised method was then used to show that heating solutions of HA at 100 °C, followed by various cooling procedures, had no effect on the HA molecular mass distribution. 相似文献

Effects of potassium carbonate as an alternative road de-icer to sodium chloride on soil chemical properties 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of potassium carbonate on soil chemical characteristics was compared with that of the most common de‐icer, sodium chloride, in a 4‐yr outdoor pot experiment with poplar and lime trees. Soil pH was raised more by K2CO3 than by NaCl. Potassium carbonate increased the electrical conductivity mainly in the upper soil layers. When K2CO3 was applied at an average annual dose of 154 g m?2, only the water‐soluble fractions of calcium and magnesium were affected. At an average annual dose of 617 g m?2, total potassium increased by 33% and calcium was displaced from the exchange sites. Calcium saturation was reduced from 85% of the cation exchange capacity in the untreated control to 69% in the higher dose K2CO3 treatment and to 75% in the NaCl treatment. The results show that the negative impact of K2CO3 on soil chemical and osmotic properties is as high as that of NaCl. For plants, however, potassium carbonate in contrast to chloride is not toxic and, applied in moderate doses, may even remedy potassium deficiencies in roadside trees. 相似文献
