Binding of basic amphipathic peptides to neutral phospholipid membranes: a thermodynamic study applied to dansyl-labeled melittin and substance P ana…

1997

A thermodynamic approach is proposed to quantitatively analyze the binding isotherms of peptides to model membranes as a function of one adjustable parameter, the actual peptide charge in solution z(p)+. The main features of this approach are a theoretical expression for the partition coefficient calculated from the molar free energies of the peptide in the aqueous and lipid phases, an equation proposed by S. Stankowski [(1991) Biophysical Journal, Vol. 60, p. 341] to evaluate the activity coefficient of the peptide in the lipid phase, and the Debye-Huckel equation that quantifies the activity coefficient of the peptide in the aqueous phase. To assess the validity of this approach we have s…

Synthesis of new, UV-photoactive dansyl derivatives for flow cytometric studies on bile acid uptake.

2009

Four new fluorescent derivatives of cholic acid have been synthesized; they incorporate a dansyl moiety at 3 alpha-, 3 beta-, 7 alpha- or 7 beta- positions. These cholic acid analogs are UV photoactive and also exhibit green fluorescence. In addition, they have been demonstrated to be suitable for studying the kinetics of bile acid transport by flow cytometry.

Automated pre-column derivatization of amines in biological samples with dansyl chloride and with or without post-column chemiluminescence formation …

1999

On-line automation of two different liquid chromatographic procedures, a pre-column derivatization system and a pre- and post-column system, in order to generate chemiluminescence is reported. Dansyl chloride (Dns-Cl) was used as a pre-column reagent to form fluorophores and bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate (TCPO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a post-column reagent to generate chemiluminescence. This procedure is based on the employment of a primary column packed with C18 material inserted in a multi-dimensional assembly for sample clean-up and derivatization with Dns-Cl. The dansyl derivatives formed are transferred and separated in a LiChrospher 100 RP18 analytical column (125 x 4 mm …

High Pressure Liquid Chromatographic Analysis of Barbiturates in the Picomole Range by Fluorometry of Their DANS-Derivatives

LC-MS/MS characterisation and determination of dansyl chloride derivatised glyphosate, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), and glufosinate in foods of…

Abstract Glyphosate and other polar and acidic pesticides have been particularly studied due to the concerns over widespread and intensive use. The chemical properties of these compounds necessitate use of customised methods, such as derivatisation or ion exchange chromatography. These approaches present a compatibility problem with ESI-MS due to presence of salts and non-volatile compounds. For that reason, a simple procedure has been developed for the extraction, pre-column derivatisation with dansyl chloride (5-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonyl chloride), and mass spectrometric detection of glyphosate, AMPA, and glufosinate after the separation on a C18 stationary phase. The dansyl d…

High-performance liquid chromatographic separation of modified and native melittin following transglutaminase-mediated derivatization with a dansyl f…

1991

Abstract The 26-amino acid linear, amphiphilic peptide melittin was enzymatically modified with the fluorescent probe monodansylcadaverine using guinea pig liver transglutaminase and a fluorescent derivative of stoichiometry 1:1 was obtained. Reversed-phase and size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatographic modes were tested in order to resolve the labelled peptide and native species. The influence of several operational variables was analysed and the elution conditions were optimized so that a satisfactory resolution could be achieved in both instances in a rapid, easy manner. Both chromatographic modes offer the possibility of accurate monitoring of the time course of the enzyme-m…

Preparation of a dansylated fibrate, a new fluorescent tool to study peroxisome proliferation. Effect on hepatic-derived cell lines.

1997

The synthesis of a dansylated fibrate (DNS-X) has been performed in order to identify the cellular affinity sites of peroxisome proliferators and to establish the subcellular localization of such molecules. DNS-X has been obtained by coupling the dansy1 chloride with the amine resulting from the bezafibrate alkaline hydrolysis. The purified DNS-X has been further characterized by spectrum analysis (UV-Vis, fluorescence, [1H]/[13C]-NMR and mass). At 250 microM and incubated for 48 h with the rat hepatic derived cells (Fao cells), DNS-X stimulates 12-fold the palmitoyl-CoA oxidase, a peroxisome proliferation marker enzyme. This increase is comparable to the one obtained with well known peroxi…
