Abstract

Oligonucleotides terminating in a 5′-primary amine group are synthesized using solid phase phosphoramidite chemistry. The 5′-terminal amine group in the deprotected oligonucleotide is further derivatized with N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP) followed by treatment with dithiothreitol (DTT) to produce 5′-thiol terminated oligonucleotides. Introduction of 5′-thiol group is further confirmed by reading the absorbance of the released chromophore, pyridine-2-thione at 343 nm; ?343=8080/M.  相似文献

酶标免疫测定法(ELISA)中最关键的化合物是酶-抗体结合物,将酶和抗体交联起来需用交联剂。本文作者使用了N-琥珀酰亚胺基3-(2-吡啶基二硫)丙酸酯(简称SPDP)将辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)和兔抗小鼠IgG(兔IgG)交联起来。我们试验了SPDP/HRP,SPDP/IgG和HRP/IgG的不同比例,以期获得活性高的酶-抗体结合物。此外还研究了从结合物中去除自由HRP和自由IgG的方法。用SDS-PAGE及硝酸纤维膜电泳转移法证明本法制备的结合物不含HRP及IgG的自身聚合物。用ELISA法鉴定结合物制品时,一般稀释度可达到1:10,000以上,有的可达到1:20,000(当结合物浓度A_(280nm)=1.0,底物显色A_(492nm)=1.0时)。  相似文献

A simple and sensitive method for the quantitative determination of free amino groups on solid support is described. This approach is a modification of Ngo's [(1986) J. Biochem. Biophys. Methods 12, 349-354] method reported earlier. The method is based on the reaction of the solid support with an excess of 5'-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-thymidine-3'-O-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) succinate (DTDS) in the presence of a catalytic amount of 4-dimethylaminopyridine. After removing the excess reagent, solid support is treated with perchloric acid to release 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl cation into the solution. The released 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl cation, which has a strong absorption at 498 nm (epsilon 498 = 70,000), is then determined spectrophotometrically. A comparative study of DTDS, N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate and 4,4-dimethoxytrityl chloride is also included. The method was found to be very useful to determine those amino groups which are available for functionalization of solid supports, especially, monitoring the functionalization of solid supports for affinity chromatography and synthesis of biopolymers.  相似文献

Organic isothiocyanates are widely distributed in plants and are responsible for a variety of beneficial and toxic biological effects. No direct and generic method for quantitating isothiocyanates has been described. Under mild conditions nearly all organic isothiocyanates (R-NCS) react quantitatively with an excess of vicinal dithiols to give rise to five-membered cyclic condensation products with release of the corresponding free amines (R-NH2). The products of the condensation of propyl-NCS with 1,2-ethanedithiol, 2,3-dimercaptopropanol, and 1,2-benzenedithiol have been isolated and identified as 1,3-dithiolane-2-thione, 4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dithiolane-2-thione, and 1,3-benzodithiole-2-thione, respectively. Since 1,3-benzodithiole-2-thione (lambda max 365 nm and alpha m 23,000 M-1 cm-1) can be sensitively measured spectroscopically, the reaction of organic isothiocyanates with 1,2-benzenedithiol has been developed for analytical purposes. All aliphatic and aromatic isothiocyanates tested (except tert-butyl and other tertiary isothiocyanates) reacted quantitatively with an excess of 1,2-benzenedithiol. Thiocyanates, cyanates, isocyanates, cyanides, or related compounds did not interfere with this reaction under assay conditions. The method can be used to measure 1 nmol or less of pure isothiocyanates or isothiocyanates in crude mixtures. It can also be used to measure isothiocyanates in chromatographic fractions obtained from plant extracts and for the assay of the rate of cleavage of glucosinolates by myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase; EC 3.2.3.1).  相似文献

Mixed-ligand complexes of the formula [Ag(PPh3)(L)Br]2 were obtained by treatment of various heterocyclic thiones L {L=pyridine-2-thione (py2SH), pyrimidine-2-thione (pymtH), benz-1,3-imidazoline-2-thione (bzimtH2), benz-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione (bztztH), 1-methyl-1,3-imidazoline-2-thione (meimtH) and 5-methoxy-benz-1,3-imidazoline-2-thione (5MeObzimtH2)} with equivalent quantities of silver(I) bromide and triphenylphosphine in dry acetone. The compounds were characterized by their IR, far-IR, UV–Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopic data. The crystal structure of [Ag(PPh3)(pymtH)Br]2 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The complex exhibits a planar Ag2Br2 moiety in which each of the doubly bromine-bridged Ag(I) centres is further bonded to one phosphine P and one thione S atom.  相似文献

Co2+ and o-phenanthroline formed a 1:3 complex with absorption maxima at 346, 332, 313, and 301 nm. The complex obeyed Beer's Law at the first three maxima. Standard curves constructed by monitoring the E346 at different concentrations of Co2+ had a maximum sensitivity of about 1 microM Co2+. At this concentration of Co2+ the delta E346 was 0.003 absorption units. This assay was not affected greatly by Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, or Tris. Erbium ions (Er3+) produced a small, nonspecific increase in absorbance at all wavelengths. Zn2+ also formed a complex with o-phenanthroline with maxima at 343, 328, and 313 nm. The absorbance of the Zn2+-o-phenanthroline complex was about 10% that of the Co2+-o-phenanthroline complex at 346 nm, but was still sufficient to cause interference at Zn2+ concentrations above 10 microM.  相似文献

Determination of the introduced moieties into derivatized proteins is an essential step in the preparation and quality control of chemically defined immunoconjugates. For the derivatized proteins using pyridyl disulfide-containing cross-linkers such as N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP) and 4-succinimidyloxycarbonyl-alpha-methyl-alpha-(2-pyridyldithio)tolu ene (SMPT), the derivatization degree (ratio of pyridyl disulfide moieties to protein) has been traditionally determined by measuring the absorbance of both the derivatized protein and 2-thiopyridone (2-TP) released from the dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment (spectrophotometric method). This method, however, causes several problems including false high and low determinations of the protein and 2-TP, respectively, low selectivity, poor reproducibility, and relatively large amounts of sample consumption. A quantitative determination method of the derivatization ratios using bovine serum albumin derivatized with SPDP and SMPT as the model system has been developed. The concentration of protein and 2-TP released from the DTT treatment of derivatized proteins was determined directly without consideration of different reagents used and their concentrations. The present HPLC method was proved to be better in terms of accuracy, selectivity, and reproducibility with micro sample consumption. Moreover, this HPLC method can be directly applied to all derivatized proteins prepared with pyridyl disulfide-containing cross-linkers.  相似文献

A simple and sensitive method for the estimation of polymer-supported amino groups is reported. The polymer support is treated either with N-succinimidyl-4-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-butyrate or 2,4-dinitrophenyl-4-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-butyrate and a catalytic amount of 4-dimethylaminopyridine. After removal of the excess reagent through washing, a weighed quantity of the polymer support is treated with perchloric acid to release the 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl cation from the solid support into the solution. The released 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl cation, which has a strong absorption (epsilon 498 = 70,000/M) at 498 nm, is determined spectrophotometrically. A comparative study of these reagents with N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)-propionate, 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl chloride, and sodium 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonate methods is also included.  相似文献

We study the Simplified Partial Digest Problem (SPDP), which is a mathematical model for a new simplified partial digest method of genome mapping. This method is easy for laboratory implementation and robust with respect to the experimental errors. SPDP is NP-hard in the strong sense. We present an $O(n2;n)$ time enumerative algorithm and an O(n(2q)) time dynamic programming algorithm for the error-free SPDP, where $n$ is the number of restriction sites and n is the number of distinct intersite distances. We also give examples of the problem, in which there are 2(n+2)/(3)-1 non-congruent solutions. These examples partially answer a question recently posed in the literature about the number of solutions of SPDP. We adapt our enumerative algorithm for handling SPDP with imprecise input data. Finally, we describe and discuss the results of the computer experiments with our algorithms.  相似文献

Recently an elegant method for the quantification of the number of disulfide bonds in proteins and peptides has been reported [T.W. Thannhauser, Y. Konishi, and H.A. Scheraga (1984) Anal. Biochem. 138, 181-188]. The method is based on the quantification of 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoate (NTB) formed from the reaction of 2-nitro-5-thiosulfobenzoate with disulfides in the presence of excess sodium sulfite. Here it is reported that the NTB anion undergoes photochemical reaction with excess sulfite in the system, which results in the rapid disappearance of absorbance at 412 nm in the presence of light. The nonchromophoric derivative of this photochemical reaction is tentatively identified as a sulfo derivative of NTB. Based on these observations it is suggested that, for the quantification of disulfide bonds using the NTSB method, the assay should be carried out in the dark.  相似文献

Oxygenated and peroxy states of the cytochrome d complex of Escherichia coli have been proposed as intermediates in the reaction mechanism of this ubiquinol oxidase. In this report, several stable states of the purified enzyme were examined spectroscopically at room temperature. As purified, the cytochrome d complex exists in an oxygenated state characterized by an absorbance band at 650 nm. Removal of oxygen results in loss of absorbance at this wavelength, which is restored upon the return of oxygen. The presence of one oxygen molecule in the oxygenated state was quantified by measuring oxygen released when excess hydrogen peroxide was added to the oxygenated state by passage of argon generates a "partially reduced" state with an absorbance peak at 628 nm, apparently due to reduced cytochrome d. Addition of equimolar hydrogen peroxide to the fully oxidized state produces the peroxy state. This peroxy state is also formed upon addition of excess hydrogen peroxide to the oxygenated state via a stable intermediate termed "peroxy intermediate." It is likely that 1) the oxygenated state consists of one molecule of oxygen bound to reduced heme d, and 2) there are at least two stable states that have bound peroxide at room temperature, the peroxy state and a newly discovered peroxy intermediate.  相似文献

The use of 96-well microtiter plates and a programmable microplate reader to measure glutathione reductase in an assay based on reduction of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) by GSH generated from an excess of GSSG is described. Samples are prepared in 96-well plates and absorbance at 415 nm with a reference wavelength of 595 is determined every 30 s for 3 min. The rate of increase in absorbance is directly proportional to the amount of glutathione reductase in the sample. Activity in an unknown sample is determined from a standard curve. The assay is rapid and allows many small samples to be analyzed in replicates of two or more at the same time.  相似文献

Intracellular redox levels play an important role in physiology and pathophysiology. The principal intracellular reductant is NADPH, which is required for both the proper activity of the entire antioxidant system and important prooxidant enzymes such as nitric oxide synthase and NADPH oxidase. Thus an easy and accurate measurement of NADPH is very desirable. The method described in this paper is based on the fact that NADH and NADPH (not NAD(+) and NADP(+)) affect absorbance at 340 nm. A single cell extract is separated into three aliquots (A(1), A(2), and A(3)). A(1) is untreated and the absorbance at 340 nm is measured. A(2) is treated with an enzyme that converts all of the NADP(+) to NADPH and then the absorbance at 340 nm is measured. A(3) is treated with an enzyme that converts all of the NADPH to NADP(+) and then the absorbance at 340 nm is measured. A(1) - A(3) is the NADPH content and A(2) - A(1) is the NADP(+) content of the extract. Using this method, we have obtained full recovery of all added nucleotides from cell extracts, thus making the method suitable for the quick determination of NADP(+) and NADPH in living cells. We conclude that this method for the measurement of NADP(+) and NADPH is rapid, simple, accurate, and reliable.  相似文献

We have developed a simple biologically non-invasive method for determining the critical micellar concentration (CMC) of bile salts using pure naturally occurring bilirubin IX alpha monoglucuronide (BMG), an important bile pigment present in virtually all mammalian biles. This methodology employs visible absorbance spectroscopy of BMG in bile salts over a range of bile salt concentrations that include the reported CMC. Using 100 microM-BMG in 0.4 M-imidazole buffer at pH 7.8, we calculated that the CMC for sodium taurochenodeoxycholate is between 2.5 and 3.0 mM based on: (1) an abrupt change in lambda max. in this concentration range, (2) a precipitous decrease in the amplitude of the absorbance shoulder at 450 nm, (3) a sudden decrease in the second derivative absorbance of BMG at 400 nm and an increase in absorbance at 470 nm, (4) a sharp change in the 4th derivative absorbance at 375 and 395 nm. In contrast, sodium taurocholate, a bile salt that reportedly does not have a CMC but continuously self-associates over a wide concentration range, exhibited none of these changes. The use of derivative spectroscopy enhances the ability to detect the CMC changes and also indicates the number of BMG species in solution and their relative energy states.  相似文献

The original Ellman's spectrophotometrical method for cholinesterase activity determination uses 5,5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB, Ellman's reagent) as a chromogen and records the level of cholinesterase activity as an increase of absorbance at 412 nm. Although this procedure usually poses no problem, exceptions arise when the concentration of DTNB is far higher than the concentration of acetylthiocholine (ATCH). It was found that the ratio of concentrations of DTNB/ATCH is an important parameter for the ATCH hydrolysis course: high excess of DTNB decreases the hydrolysis rate resulting in a lower measured enzyme activity. Our experiments indicate that this influence of DTNB concentration can be explained by the inhibition of ATCH hydrolysis by DTNB.  相似文献

We have optimized the spectrophotometric method for the quantitative analysis of a tetranucleotide mixture (for example an RNA hydrolysate) by carefully choosing the wavelengths and the pH at which the absorbance measurements were made, and estimated the error made on the calculated concentration of each nucleotide. The most convenient method involved the measurement of only four absorbances (at 228 nm at pH 13; 200, 212 and 284 nm at pH 2). If the sensitivity of the spectrophotometer is 0.001 unit absorbance, the absolute error made on the calculated percentage of each nucleotide is lower than 0.33%.  相似文献

A sample-preparation method for N-terminal peptide isolation from protein proteolytic digests has been developed. Protein thiols and primary amines were protected by carboxyamidomethylation and acetylation, respectively, followed by trypsinization. The digest was bound to ZipTipC18 pipette tips for reaction of the newly generated N-termini with sulfosuccinimidyl-6-[3′-(2-pyridyldithio)-propionamido] hexanoate. The digest was subsequently exposed to hydroxylamine for reversal of hydroxyl group acylation, followed by reductive release of the pyridine-2-thione moiety from the derivatives. The thiol group-functionalized internal and C-terminal peptides were reversibly captured by covalent chromatography on activated thiol sepharose leaving the N-terminal fragment free in solution. The use of the reversed-phase supports as a reaction bed enabled optimization of the serial modification steps for throughput and completeness of derivatization. The use of the sample-preparation method was demonstrated with low picomole amounts of in-solution- and in-gel-digested protein. The N-terminal peptide was selectively retrieved from the affinity support. The sample-preparation method provides for throughput, robustness, and simplicity of operation using standard equipment available in most biological laboratories and is anticipated to be readily expanded to proteome-wide applications.  相似文献

In the presence of micromolar concentrations of H2O2, ferric cytochrome c oxidase forms a stable complex characterized by an increased absorption intensity at 606-607 nm with a weaker absorption band in the 560-580 nm region. Higher (millimolar) concentrations of H2O2 result in an enzyme exhibiting a Soret band at 427 nm and an alpha-band of increased intensity in the 589-610 nm region. Addition of H2O2 to ferric cytochrome c oxidase in the presence of cyanide results in absorbance increases at 444nm and 605nm. These changes are not seen if H2O2 is added to the cyanide complex of the ferric enzyme. The results support the idea that direct reaction of H2O2 with ferric cytochrome a 3 produces a 'peroxy' intermediate that is susceptible to further reduction by H2O2 at higher peroxide concentrations. Electron flow through cytochrome a is not involved, and the final product of the reaction is the so-called 'pulsed' or 'oxygenated' ferric form of the enzyme.  相似文献

The amino acid l-lysine is synthesized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae via the α-aminoadipate pathway. An as yet unidentified PLP-containing aminotransferase is thought to catalyze the formation of α-aminoadipate from α-ketoadipate in the l-lysine biosynthetic pathway that could be the yeast Aro8 gene product. A screen of several different amino acids and keto-acids showed that the enzyme uses l-tyrosine, l-phenylalanine, α-ketoadipate, and l-α-aminoadipate as substrates. The UV–visible spectrum of the aminotransferase exhibits maxima at 280 and 343 nm at pH 7.5. As the pH is decreased the peak at 343 nm (the unprotonated internal aldimine) disappears and two new peaks at 328 and 400 nm are observed representing the enolimine and ketoenamine tautomers of the protonated aldimine, respectively. Addition, at pH 7.1, of α-ketoadipate to free enzyme leads to disappearance of the absorbance at 343 nm and appearance of peaks at 328 and 424 nm. The V/Et and V/Kα-ketoadipateEt pH profiles are pH independent from pH 6.5 to 9.6, while the V/Kl-tyrosine pH-rate profile decreases below a single pKa of 7.0 ± 0.1. Data suggest the active enzyme form is with the internal aldimine unprotonated. We conclude the enzyme should be categorized as a α-aminoadipate aminotransferase.  相似文献
