Dense and uniform polymer brush coatings were developed to combat marine biofouling. Nonionic hydrophilic, nonionic hydrophobic, cationic, anionic and zwitterionic polymer brush coatings were synthesized via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium chloride, 4-styrenesulfonic acid sodium and N,N′-dimethyl-(methylmethacryloyl ethyl) ammonium propanesulfonate, respectively. The functionalized surfaces had different efficacies in preventing adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA), adhesion of the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas sp. NCIMB 2021 and the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, and settlement of cyprids of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite (=Balanus amphitrite). The nonionic hydrophilic, anionic and zwitterionic polymer brushes resisted BSA adsorption during a 2 h exposure period. The nonionic hydrophilic, cationic and zwitterionic brushes exhibited resistance to bacterial fouling (24 h exposure) and cyprid settlement (24 and 48 h incubation). The hydrophobic brushes moderately reduced protein adsorption, and bacteria and cyprid settlement. The anionic brushes were least effective in preventing attachment of bacteria and barnacle cyprids. Thus, the best approach to combat biofouling involves a combination of nonionic hydrophilic and zwitterionic polymer brush coatings on material surfaces. 相似文献

The method of atomic force microscopy has been used to investigate the morphology of mica-supported bilayer lipid membranes
and stability of their complexes with a cationic polymer, poly-(N-ethyl-4-vinylpyridinium bromide). Lipid bilayers with a
minimum of defects were obtained by the fusion of monolamellar neutral or mixed anionic bilayer vesicles (liposomes) on the
mica surface, followed by excessive solvent removal by means of rapid rotation of a plate in horizontal plane (spin-coating). It has been shown that the cationic polymer does not interact with the bilayers, where the outer leaflet (i.e., the monolayer
exposed to the surrounding aqueous solution) is made of an electroneutral phosphatidylcholine (PC). At the same time, the
polymer irreversibly binds to the bilayer containing an anionic lipid. 相似文献

The influence of several polymeric additives on specific glucose uptake rate of flocs of a S. cerevisiae strain — S. cerevisiae NRRLY 265 was studied. A special continuous membrane microreactor was used to measure glucose uptake on the presence of calcium and of the tested additives — two cationic polymers — bis(polyoxyethylene-bis(amine)) 20,000 and BPA 1,000 and one anionic polymer — Magna Floc LT25.An increase on glucose uptake rate was always observed when comparing with calcium bound flocs. For bis(polyoxyethylene-bis(amine)) 20,000 the increase was only 19% but for BPA 1,000 a value of more than 50% was observed. For Magna Floc LT25 a two fold increase was measured.The determination of floc size and porosity in the presence of the additives indicated that, on the basis of these parameters, it was not possible to explain the observed glucose uptake rates. The floc porosites in additive bound flocs were similar and 10% larger than for calcium bound flocs and glucose uptake rate was larger for the largest flocs — Magna Floc LT25 bound flocs were the largest followed by BPA 1,000, bis(polyoxyethylene-bis(amine)) 20,000 and calcium bound flocs. These values disagree with what should be expected in diffusion controlled processes.The calculation of intercellular floc distance indicated that polymeric additives act on the reduction of diffusional limitations by increasing the available flux area for glucose inside the flocs. By analysing different kinds of packings, it was also observed that the packing arrangement for yeast cells in flocs is close to the cubic packing. The simulation of this arrangement for the obtained floc sizes confirmed that the 10% increase in floc porosity is sufficient to explain the increase in the available flux area. 相似文献

Filtered proteins including the low-molecular-weight protein lysozyme are reabsorbed by the proximal tubule via adsorptive endocytosis. This process starts with binding of the protein to the brush-border membrane. The binding of 125I-labelled egg-white lysozyme (EC 3.2.1.17) to isolated brush-border membranes of rat kidney and the effect of several low-molecular weight proteins on that binding was determined. The Scatchard plot revealed a one-component binding type with a dissociation constant of 5.3 μM and 53.0 nmol/mg membrane protein for the number of binding sites. The binding of the cationic lysozyme was inhibited competitively by the addition of cationic cytochrome c to the incubation medium, while the neutral myoglobin had no effect. The anionic β-lactoglobulin A inhibited the lysozyme binding in a noncompetitive manner. These data suggest that the binding takes place between positively charged groups of the protein molecule and negative sites on the brush-border membrane, and, the competition between the cationic cytochrome c and the cationic lysozyme for the binding sites may be responsible for the inhibitory effect of cytochrome c on renal lysozyme reabsorption. The binding step at the brush-border membrane appears to be cation-selective. 相似文献

Both of acrylamide and allyl-β-cyclodextrin are utilized to react with acrylic acid and dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride respectively to synthesize the novel anionic acrylamide polymer and cationic acrylamide polymer by redox free-radical copolymerization. The structures of copolymers are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Subsequently, the copolymers are evaluated on several aspects such as optimum polymerization conditions, intrinsic viscosity, interfacial tension and stability experiments. It is found that the anionic and cationic acrylamide polymers containing cyclodextrin moieties show better performances on interfacial tension, salt resistance, temperature tolerance, viscosification property and shear resistance than that of polyacrylamide. By the comprehensive comparison and analysis, the anionic polymer is more conductive to decrease the interfacial tension for the tertiary oil recovery process, while the cationic polymer is more suitable for enhancing oil recovery in high-temperature and high-mineralization oilfield. 相似文献

In this study, water-soluble anionic and cationic polymers were prepared from sulfuric acid lignin (SAL), an acid hydrolysis lignin, and the relationship between the surface tension of these polymers and industrial performance was examined. The SAL was phenolized (P-SAL) to enhance its solubility and reactivity. Sulfonation and the Mannich reaction with aminocarboxylic acids produced water-soluble anionic polymers and high-dispersibility gypsum paste. The dispersing efficiency increased as the surface tension decreased, suggesting that the fluidity of the gypsum paste increased with the polymer adsorption on the gypsum particle surface. Water-soluble cationic polymers were prepared using the Mannich reaction with dimethylamine. The cationic polymers showed high sizing efficiency under neutral papermaking conditions; the sizing efficiency increased with the surface tension. This suggests that the polymer with high hydrophilicity spread in the water and readily adhered to the pulp surface and the rosin, showing good retention. 相似文献

To obtain cationic liposomes of which affinity to negatively charged membranes can be controlled by temperature, cationic liposomes consisting of 3beta-[N-(N', N'-dimethylaminoethane)carbamoyl]cholesterol and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine were modified with poly(N-acryloylpyrrolidine), which is a thermosensitive polymer exhibiting a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at ca. 52 degrees C. The unmodified cationic liposomes did not change its zeta potential between 20-60 degrees C. The polymer-modified cationic liposomes revealed much lower zeta potential values below the LCST of the polymer than the unmodified cationic liposomes. However, their zeta potential increased significantly above this temperature. The unmodified cationic liposomes formed aggregates and fused intensively with anionic liposomes consisting of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidic acid in the region of 20-60 degrees C, due to the electrostatic interaction. In contrast, aggregation and fusion of the polymer-modified cationic liposomes with the anionic liposomes were strongly suppressed below the LCST. However, these interactions were enhanced remarkably above the LCST. In addition, the polymer-modified cationic liposomes did not cause leakage of calcein from the anionic liposomes below the LCST, but promoted the leakage above this temperature as the unmodified cationic liposomes did. Temperature-induced conformational change of the polymer chains from a hydrated coil to a dehydrated globule might affect the affinity of the polymer-modified cationic liposomes to the anionic liposomes. 相似文献

The purification of staphylococcal β-hemolysin was accomplished by the successive use of three protein fractionation methods. The first method employed was a double precipitation with the use of ammonium sulfate at 65% saturation. The second phase of purification used Sephadex G-100 column fractionation. The third phase utilized either carboxymethyl cellulose or diethylaminoethyl cellulose fractionation. The last two fractionation methods both resulted in the separation of a relatively high concentration of cationic hot-cold lysin and a low concentration of anionic hot-cold lysin. Because of the low concentration of the anionic component, its purity could not be assessed. However, the purity of the cationic component was demonstrated by immunodiffusion, microimmunoelectrophoresis, and by disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition, antisera against purified cationic β-hemolysin yielded one line of precipitate when tested against the original crude β-hemolysin. The purified cationic β-hemolysin was stable in the lyophilized state. Crude β-hemolysin was dermonecrotic, whereas purified cationic β-hemolysin was not dermonecrotic even after Mg++ activation. 相似文献

Temperature dependences of kinetic constants (k
cat and K
m) were studied for enzymatic hydrolysis of N-succinyl-L-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-prolyl-L-arginine-p-nitroanilide and N-succinyl-L-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-prolyl-L-lysine-p-nitroanilide by bovine cationic and rat anionic (wild-type and mutant) trypsins. The findings were compared with the corresponding literature data for hydrolysis of N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilide by bovine cationic trypsin and natural trypsins of coldadapted fishes. The anionic and cationic trypsins were found to differ in organization of the S1 -substrate-binding pocket. The difference in the binding of lysine and arginine residues to this site (S1) was also displayed by opposite temperature dependences of hydrolysis constants for the corresponding substrates by the anionic and cationic trypsins. The data suggest that the effect of any factor on the binding of substrates (the K
m value) to the anionic and cationic trypsins and on the catalytic activity k
cat should be compared only with the corresponding data for the natural enzyme of the same type. Mutants of rat anionic trypsin at residues K188 or Y228 were prepared by site-directed mutagenesis as approximate models of natural psychrophilic trypsins. Substitution of the charged lysine residue in position 188 by hydrophobic phenylalanine residue shifted the pH optimum of the resulting mutant trypsin K188F from 8.0 to 9.0-10.0, similarly to the case of some natural psychrophilic trypsins, and also 1.5-fold increased its catalytic activity at low temperatures as compared to the wild-type enzyme. 相似文献

In this study, we synthesized a zwitterionic DTNB derivative, 5-(2-aminoethyl)-dithio-2-nitrobenzoate (ADNB), and characterized its reactions with several cationic, anionic, and neutral thiols. Reactions with ADNB, unlike those with DTNB, are relatively insensitive to electrostatic environments and ionic strengths. At relatively low ionic strength, rate ratios,kADNB/kDTNB, varied from 0.22 for reactions with low-molecular-weight cationic thiols to 3.0 for those with low-molecular-weight anionic thiols. AkADNB/kDTNBratio of 200 for Cys-34 of BSA appears to reflect a very anionic environment.kADNB/kDTNBratios of 6 and 1, respectively, for canine and equine serum albumins, which have Glu-82 → Asp and Glu-82 → Ala substitutions suggest Glu-82 is the most important anionic residues affecting the reactivity of Cys-34 in BSA.kADNB/kDTNBratios appear to be useful for characterizing electrostatic environments of thiol groups in proteins. 相似文献

Recent studies have suggested that fibroblasts, widely distributed mesenchymal cells, not only function to sustain various organs and tissues as stroma cells but also act directly to regulate adjacent cell behavior including migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Since fibroproliferative diseases and lesions (fibroplasia) are accompanied by new capillary growth (angiogenesis), we hypothesized that fibroblasts may have direct effects on endothelial cell behavior, independent of the elaboration of extracellular matrix, that are relevant to complex process of angiogenesis. To test this hypothesis, bovine aortic endothelial cells were cocultured in collagen gels with human skin fibroblasts. This coculture system caused the endothelial cells to become spindle shaped and to organize into a capillary-like structure within the collagen gels. We found that fibroblast-conditioned medium (FCM) also induced endothelial cells initially to elongate and subsequently to organize into a capillary-like structure within collagen gels. While FCM had no significant effect on endothelial cell DNA synthesis, the soluble factor(s) in FCM increased endothelial cell motility in an in vitro wound assay and in a Boyden chamber assay. The chemoattractant(s) in FCM was alkaline (pH 9.0)—and acid (pH 3.0)—stable, relatively heat stable (stable at 60°C for 30 min, unstable at 98°C for 3 min), dithiothreitol (DTT)-sensitive, and bound to an anionic exchange resin (DEAE-cellulose). Another factor(s) stimulated endothelial cell reorganization into capillary-like structure both within a collagen gel and on a reconstituted basement membrane matrix, Matrigel. This factor(s) was alkaline (pH 9.0)—and acid (pH 3.0)—stable, heat (98°C for 3 min)stable, and DTT-sensitive and bound an anionic exchange resin (DEAE-cellulose). These in vitro results suggest that fibroblasts secrete soluble factors that can influence endothelial cell behaviors relevant to the angiogenesis process with possible implications for vascularization in fibroproliferative conditions. 相似文献

Hypocotyl explants of Linum usitatissimum were induced to form roots without an intermediate eallus phase by incubation on a defined medium. Loosely bound and ionically bound surface-associated proteins were extracted from the explants during root development by sequential vacuum infiltration using distilled water and 100 mM calcium chloride solution. The ionically extracted samples generally had higher peroxidase activity than the secreted samples, but both had reached maxima after 28 days culture. In contrast, the secreted samples were more able to oxidise indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) than the ionically-extracted samples. After 14 days culture the peroxidase and IAA-oxidase activities of the two samples were approximately equal, but by 35 days the secreted sample was twice as effective in oxidising IAA as the ionically extracted sample. The results suggest an accumulation of a loosely associated IAA-oxidase/peroxidase on the surfaces of the explants during root growth and development. Five anionic (A1–A5) and five cationic (C1–C5) isozymes were identified using non-denaturing PAGE. All five anionic isozymes were present throughout the development of roots and became more abundant from 14 days to 35 days culture. In contrast, root development was accompanied by a reduction in the levels of cationic isozymes that are characteristic of hypocotyl tissue. Two cationic isozymes (C3 and C4) were exclusively present during the early phases of root development (14 days) and the other three cationic isozymes were present at 14 days, dropped in abundance at 21 days and then recovered to higher levels after 35 days.The possible roles and consequence of these cationic isozymes and the significance of their removal from the explant surface during root development is discussed.Abbreviations NAA

The objective of this study was to compare a novel controlled release tablet formulation based on interpolyelectrolyte complex (PEC). Interpolymer interactions between the countercharged polymers like Eudragit® EPO (polycation) and hypromellose acetate succinate (polyanion) and Eudragit® EPO and hypromellose phthalate (polyanion) were investigated with a view to their use in per oral controlled release drug delivery systems. The formation of inter-macromolecular ionic bonds between cationic polymer and anionic polymer was investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The FT-IR spectra of the tested polymeric matrices are characterized by visible changes in the observed IR region indicating the interaction between chains of two oppositely charged copolymers. The performance of the in situ formed PEC as a matrix for controlled release of drugs was evaluated, using acetaminophen as a model drug. The dissolution data of these matrices were fitted to different dissolution models. It was found that drug release followed zero-order kinetics and was controlled by the superposition of the diffusion and erosion. These profiles could be controlled by conveniently modifying the proportion of the polymer ratio, polymer type, and polymer concentration the in the tablets.KEY WORDS: Eudragit E, hypromellose acetate succinate, hypromellose phthalate polyelectrolyte complexation 相似文献

Summary The surface coat of the dinoflagellateAmphidinium carterae Hulburt was examined by fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy, using various fluorochromes and cationic dyes. The overall results showed cell-surface reactions typical of acid mucopolysaccharides. The cationic dye staining revealed an outer fine fibrillar layer (15–70 nm thick) overlying a dense anionic coat (40–60 nm thick) which appeared to thicken progressively with age. In general, the structure of the amphiesmal vesicles was similar to that previously described by other investigators. However, an acidic mucopolysaccharide layer was observed on the inner surface of these vesicles. Each of these structures is traversed by 1–3 pores and at least 2 types of extrusomes are formed, the spindle trichocysts and the mucocysts. Cell to cell adhesion through the surface coat was frequently observed. Evidence was also obtained for internalization of all the surface-coat markers used.This investigation forms part of a doctoral thesis submitted by the first author to the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. 相似文献

This paper describes the profile of peroxidase (POX) isoenzymes induced due to the natural infection of Staphylococcus xylosus in spongy Alphonso mango fruits. Very low levels of protein and POX activity was observed in non-spongy unripe fruits, and
when these fruits turned table-ripe, the levels of both the protein content and POX activity increased several fold. The spongy
fruits, however, showed further 2-fold increase in POX activity; although drastic decrease in protein content was observed.
Anionic and cationic PAGE, and isoelectric focusing (IEF), resulted in separation of various isoenzymes of POX. Both, anionic
and cationic PAGE indicated that, at unripe stage, only basic isoforms were present in trace amounts. In non-spongy ripe fruits,
increased levels of both anionic and cationic isoforms were observed after staining the gel with o-dianisidine, the POX substrate. In spongy fruits, however, an anionic PAGE showed appearance of four acidic isoforms with
relative electrophoretic mobility (REM) of 0.52, 0.73, 0.78, and 0.84 and an isoenzyme (REM 0.52), showed further activation,
as indicated by the intense dark color formation. Cationic PAGE also indicated higher levels of two basic isoforms (REM 0.56
and 0.62), in the spongy fruits. Isoelectric focusing resolved these isoenzymes in acidic, neutral, and basic isoforms. Two
acidic isoforms in the pI range of 2–3.5 were detected toward the anode region and two cationic isoforms of pI 7.8 and 8.7,
toward the cathode, giving visible indication of increased levels of these isoforms. The increased intensities of the POX
bands observed in anionic and cationic PAGE, and IEF, gave confirmatory evidence for the up regulation of anionic and cationic
isoforms in spongy fruits. These isoenzymes could have been overexpressed as a defense response of the spongy fruits against
the Staphylococcus infection. 相似文献

A comparison of the in vitro antimicrobial activity of liposomes containing meropenem and gentamicin

The antimicrobial activity of eight cationic, two neutral and three anionic liposome compositions containing meropenem and
gentamicin was tested in vitro in broth and serum medium. The cationic formulations showed better antibacterial efficacy against both Gram-positive and
Gram-negative bacteria than the anionic and neutral ones, regardless of the encapsulated drug. The most effective formulations
were the cationic PC/DOPE/DOTAP 3:4:3 and PC/Chol/DOTAP 3:4:3, as the MICs with meropenem were 2 to 4 times lower than those
of the free drug. 相似文献

Summary The specificity of the High Iron Diamine—Alcian Blue pH2.5 (HID—AB 2.5) procedure was examined in tissue sites containing sialogycoproteins alone or differing proportions of sialo- and sulphosialoglycoproteins. Studies with HID in differing final concentrations of hydrochloric acid or sodium chloride confirmed that staining is dependent upon both the pH and the ionic strength of the dye bath and demonstrated a marked heterogeneity in the pKa of the anionic groups of sialosulphoglycoproteins. Use of the sequence High Iron Diamine—Alcian Blue pH 1.0 demonstrated that complete or almost complete staining ofO-sulphate esters occurred when HID was prepared in water (final pH 1.3). However, under these conditions HID—AB 2.5 was shown to be non-specific because only black HID staining was observed in sites containing large quantities of sialic acids. This non-specificity was due either to the masking of Alcian Blue staining by HID and/or the black HID staining of anionic groups other than sulphate. These results may account for some of the conflicting data obtained by different groups of investigators who have studied transitional mucosa in human colonic diseases. Caution should be used in drawing conclusions from the use of HID—AB 2.5 without confirmatory evidence from other more specific procedures. 相似文献

Human cationic and anionic trypsins are sulfated on Tyr154, a residue which helps to shape the prime side substrate-binding subsites. Here, we used phage display technology to assess the significance of tyrosine sulfation for the specificity of human trypsins. The prime side residues P1′–P4′ in the binding loop of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) were fully randomized and tight binding inhibitor phages were selected against non-sulfated and sulfated human cationic trypsin. The selection pattern for the two targets differed mostly at the P2′ position, where variants selected against non-sulfated trypsin contained primarily aliphatic residues (Leu, Ile, Met), while variants selected against sulfated trypsin were enriched also for Arg. BPTI variants carrying Arg, Lys, Ile, Leu or Ala at the P2′ position of the binding loop were purified and equilibrium dissociation constants were determined against non-sulfated and sulfated cationic and anionic human trypsins. BPTI variants harboring apolar residues at P2′ exhibited 3–12-fold lower affinity to sulfated trypsin relative to the non-sulfated enzyme, whereas BPTI variants containing basic residues at P2′ had comparable affinity to both trypsin forms. Taken together, the observations demonstrate that the tyrosyl sulfate in human trypsins interacts with the P2′ position of the substrate-like inhibitor and this modification increases P2′ selectivity towards basic side chains. 相似文献

Cuttings of Arbutus unedo (strawberry tree) and Taxus baccata (yew) were treated with 8.0 and 10.0 g l–1, respectively, of KIBA, IBA, IAA, NAA and Paclobutrazol. No rooting occurred without growth regulator treatment. The effect of growth regulators on percentage of rooting followed the order KIBA > IBA > IAA = NAA = Paclobutrazol = 0% (for A. unedo) and KIBA > IBA > IAA > NAA > Paclobutrazol = 0% (for T. baccata). Genotypes of the above plant species had significant effects on the number and length of roots, percentage of rooting and peroxidase specific activity (PA) on KIBA-treated cuttings. High PA seems to be related with low percentage of rooting in the case of A. unedo cuttings while no similar results were noticed in the case of T. baccata. Electrophoretic analysis revealed the appearance of two to three anionic and one cationic peroxidase isoforms in A. unedo cuttings, while six to nine anionic and no cationic peroxidases isoforms appeared in the case of T. baccata genotypes. During adventitious rooting, the PA showed the three interdependent phases (induction, initiation, expression) in both K-IBA treated cuttings of A. unedo and T. baccata, but in a different time course. 相似文献
