Monolayer formation of SaOS‐2 (human osteoblast‐like cells) was observed on VACNT (vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes) scaffolds without purification or functionalization. The VACNT were produced by a microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition on titanium surfaces with nickel or iron as catalyst. Cell viability and morphology studies were evaluated by LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) release assay and SEM (scanning electron microscopy), respectively. The non‐toxicity and the flat spreading with monolayer formation of the SaOs‐2 on VACNT scaffolds surface indicate that they can be used for biomedical applications. 相似文献

The immunophenotype of HT29 human colon cancer cells implanted into severe combined immunodeficient mice was assessed in primary
tumours and their metastases in the lungs using an indirect immunohistochemical method. After primary tumours were surgically
removed, the metastases were given time to develop, thus paralleling the clinical situation. While vimentin was negative in
both primary and secondary tumours, E-cadherin was present as membrane-bound labelling in the primary tumours only. Whereas
the markers p53, MIB1, PCNA and CEA were consistently positive in both primary and metastatic tumours, CD44 variant 6 and
CA125 were negative in metastases but positive in the primary tumours. There was a significant increase in the percentage
of cells labelled for p53 in the primary tumours compared with the metastases. For the proliferation markers, there was no
significant difference in labelling between primary tumours and metastases for MIB1. Of the cytokeratins examined, CK 20 gave
the strongest and most consistent reaction in both primary and secondary tumours. The results indicate that, for certain immunohistochemical
markers, results are the same in both primary tumours and metastases. Hence, in these cases, antigens that are expressed on
the primary tumour as well as on the metastases can serve as target molecules for immunologically based forms of treatment
of metastases.

Two rate-limiting mechanisms have been proposed to explain the gramicidin channel facilitated decay of the pH difference across vesicular membrane (delta pH) in the pH region 6-8 and salt (MCI, M+ = K+, Na+) concentration range 50-300 mM. 1) At low pH conditions (approximately 6), H+ transport through the gramicidin channel predominantly limits the delta pH decay rate. 2) At higher pH conditions (approximately 7.5), transport of a deprotonated species (but not through the channel) predominantly limits the rate. The second mechanism has been suggested to be the hydroxyl ion propogation through water chains across the bilayer by hydrogen bond exchange. In both mechanisms alkali metal ion transport providing the compensating flux takes place through the gramicidin channels. Such an identification has been made from a detailed study of the delta pH decay rate as a function of 1) gramicidin concentration, 2) alkali metal ion concentration, 3) pH, 4) temperature, and 5) changes in the membrane order (by adding small amounts of chloroform to vesicle solutions). The apparent activation energy associated with the second mechanism (approximately 3.2 kcal/mol) is smaller than that associated with the first mechanism (approximately 12 kcal/mol). In these experiments, delta pH was created by temperature jump, and vesicles were prepared using soybean phospholipid or a mixture of 94% egg phosphatidylcholine and 6% phosphatidic acid. 相似文献

Comparisons of the molecular evolutionary process at rbcL and ndhF in the grass family (Poaceae) 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
We examine rate heterogeneity among evolutionary lineages of the grass
family at two plasmid loci, ndhF and rbcL, and we introduce a method to
determine whether patterns of rate heterogeneity are correlated between
loci. We show both that rates of synonymous evolution are heterogeneous
among grass lineages and that are heterogeneity is correlated between loci
at synonymous sites. At nonsynonymous sites, the pattern of rate
heterogeneity is not correlated between loci, primarily due to an aberrant
pattern of rate heterogeneity at nonsynonymous sites of rbcL. We compare
patterns of synonymous rate heterogeneity to predictors based on the
generation time effect and the speciation rate hypotheses. Although there
is some evidence for generation time effects, neither generation time
effects nor speciation rates appear to be sufficient to explain patterns of
rate heterogeneity in the grass plastid sequences.

The literature data on the activity of histidine-15 modified hen egg white lysozyme are conflicting: the modified enzyme is
reported to have more activity, similar activity or less activity by different authors. Amino acid analysis had shown modification
of the single His-15. Detailed activity studies on His-15-modified (by iodoacetic acid or diethyl pyrocarbonate) lysozyme
have shown that the contradicting reports are due to the specific choices of ionic strengths and cell wall substrate concentrations
and can be attributed to the substrate being negatively charged. Our analysis suggests that even though histidine-15 is far
removed from the active site of lysozyme, its chemical modification or binding of the negatively-charged substrate near it,
changes the conformation around the active site. However, the change in the optimum activity on chemically modifying His-15
is small. 相似文献

The kinetics of complex formation between Co(II)-carbonic anhydrase B and the anions cyanate, thiocyanate and cyanide has been studied at different pH values employing temperature-jump relaxation spectrometry. Formation of the 1:1 complex occurs via binding of the deprotonated state of the anion to an acidic state of the enzyme. The determined formation rate constants range from 10(8) to 3 X 10(9) M-1 s-1 and are two to three orders of magnitude higher than the value estimated for a ligand coordination to the central Co2+, based on a solvate substitution mechanism. These kinetic results strongly indicate that the deprotonated anion binds to an unoccupied coordination position of the protein-bound heavy metal ion in the form of an addition reaction. Upon binding of the anion, the coordination number of the Co2+ in the acidic state of the enzyme is increased from four to five. In the case of cyanide, a 2:1 anion complex is also formed. The formation rate constant is 5 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 which provides good evidence that this binding process is controlled by a solvate substitution mechanism. 相似文献

We used simulated data to investigate a number of properties of maximum-
likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree estimation for the case of four taxa.
Simulated data were generated under a broad range of conditions, including
wide variation in branch lengths, differences in the ratio of transition
and transversion substitutions, and the absence of presence of
gamma-distributed site-to-site rate variation. Data were analyzed in the ML
framework with two different substitution models, and we compared the
ability of the two models to reconstruct the correct topology. Although
both models were inconsistent for some branch-length combinations in the
presence of site-to-site variation, the models were efficient predictors of
topology under most simulation conditions. We also examined the performance
of the likelihood ratio (LR) test for significant positive interior branch
length. This test was found to be misleading under many simulation
conditions, rejecting too often under some simulation conditions. Under the
null hypothesis of zero length internal branch, LR statistics are assumed
to be asymptotically distributed chi 2(1); with limited data, the
distribution of LR statistics under the null hypothesis varies from chi
2(1).
