Application of CEC procedures for the analysis of synthetic peptides: characterization of linear immunogenic peptides that mimic a HIV-1 gp120 epitope
2002
In this study, we describe the application of a new analytical procedure based on capillary electrochromatographic(CEC) techniques for the characterization of different basic and acidic peptides using isocratic eluent conditions containing acetonitrile and ammonium acetate buffers of different molarities between pH 3.8 and 5.2. In particular,10 immunogenic peptide analogs with isoelectric points ranging from 3.7 to 10.1 were investigated; nine of these peptides, 1-9, were truncated analogs of the parent peptide, 10, which is a peptidomimetic related to a HIV-1 gp120 epitope. Several of these peptides have the propensity to form alpha-helical secondary structures in solution. Electrochromato…
Determination of cationic surfactants by capillary zone electrophoresis and micellar electrokinetic chromatography with deoxycholate micelles in the …
2000
Mixtures of the cationic surfactants benzalkonium chloride (BKC) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were quickly resolved and reproducibly and reliably determined by using background electrolytes (BGEs) containing 80 mM borate, pH 8.5, bile salts and large concentrations of an organic solvent. When the bile salt is present, the separation mechanism changes from capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) to a mixed micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)-CZE, with predominant MEKC interactions, which lead to an excellent resolution of all the solutes, including the C12-C18 homologues of BKC and CPC. A BGE containing 50 mM sodium deoxycholate and 30% ethanol for an extreme resolution, or 20% …
Complex Metabolic Activation Pathways of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: 3-Hydroxy-trans-7,8-Dihydroxy-7,8-Dihydrobenzo[a]Pyrene as a Proximate Mut…
1988
3-Hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene (3-OH-BP) is a major metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) in various systems. Metabolites of 3-OH-BP, formed by liver enzymes, bind to DNA1,2 and are mutagenic3,4. However, the active species have not yet been identified. Administration of 3-OH-BP to rats results in the excretion of sulfate and glucuronic acid conjugates of 3-hydroxy-trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene (3-OH-BP-7,8-diol) (Fig. 1) as major metabolites in the bile5. The hydroxyl groups of this triol are structurally superimposable to those of 9-hydroxy-trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydrochrysene (9-hydroxychrysene-1,2-diol, Fig. 1), which is a metabolite of chrysene6,7 and a potent promutagen8,9. 9-…
LC Ionomers with Phosphonate Groups and Their Multilayer Build-Up
2002
This paper describes the synthesis of new liquid-crystalline (LC) ionomers (semiflexible LC mainchain polymers with ionic groups as side groups) by polycondensation of substituted malonates with mesogenic diols. Phosphonic acids were used as negative groups, and phosphonium and ammonium ions as positive groups. The presence of these ionic groups leads to gelation (physical crosslinking) of the polymers, which display a rubbery consistency. As expected from the reference polymers without an ionic group, all polymers show smectic phases. These phases are destabilized by bulky side groups (e.g., phosphonium ions or phosphonic acid esters). They are, however, stabilized by phosphonic acid group…
Assays of Proteasome-Dependent Cleavage Products
2005
The degradation of misfolded, aged, or no longer needed cytosolic proteins depends largely on the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Proteasomes degrade their substrates into fragments of 3-20 amino acids. Human 20S proteasomes can be purified from human erythrocytes by batch adsorption to DEAE-cellulose, ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion-exchange fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC), and glycerol density gradient ultracentrifugation. 20S proteasomes purified by this method are suitable for the in vitro digestion of synthetic peptides as well as full-length proteins. The degradation products produced by proteasomes are separated by reversed-phase HPLC using an acetonitrile gradient. The …
Selective Guest Inclusion in Oxalate-Based Iron(III) Magnetic Coordination Polymers
2016
The preparation and structural characterization of four novel oxalate-based iron(III) compounds of formulas {(MeNH3)2[Fe2(ox)2Cl4]·2.5H2O}n (1), K(MeNH3)[Fe(ox)Cl3(H2O)] (2), {MeNH3[Fe2(OH)(ox)2Cl2]·2H2O}n (3), and {(H3O)(MeNH3)[Fe2O(ox)2Cl2]·3H2O}n (4) (MeNH3+ = methylammonium cation and H2ox = oxalic acid) are reported here. 1 is an anionic waving chain of oxalato-bridged iron(III) ions with peripheral chloro ligands, the charge balance being ensured by methylammonium cations. 2 is a mononuclear complex with a bidentate oxalate, three terminal chloro ligands, and a coordinated water molecule achieving the six-coordination around each iron(III) ion. Its negative charge is balanced by potas…
Arynic species II
1986
Abstract o-Benzyne and its 4-methyl, 4-chloro and 4-bromo-derivatives were generated in the thermal decomposition of two new kinds of polymer-bound precursors: 1(2-carboxyaryl)triazenes and 2-carboxyaryl-sulphonates. New kinds of trapping polymers for these elusive species are also presented.
Formation rates and protonation constants of azo dyes in a sodium dodecylsulphate micellar solution.
1991
The effects of a sodium dodecylsulphate micellar solution on the coupling rates of several diazotizated arylamines with N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine and the shifts in the protonation constants of the corresponding azo dyes are quantitatively studied. Aniline, o-, m- and p-aminobenzoic acids, ethyl p-aminobenzoate and several sulphadrugs are used, and the relationships among the intensity of the effects and the molecular structure of the diazonium ions and the dyes are discussed. A single simplified procedure for the determination of all the substances at pH = 1.3 +/- 0.3, where coupling is quickly completed to directly produce the protonated form of the dyes, is established and applied to…
Structural and magnetic studies of tetranuclear heterometallic M/Cr (M = Co, Mn) complexes self-assembled from zerovalent cobalt or manganese, Reinec…
2010
Abstract Four novel heterometallic complexes [Co2Cr2(NCS)4(HDea)2(Dea)2]·4dmf (1), [Co2Cr2(NCS)4(HDea)2(Dea)2]·4dmso (2), [Mn2Cr2(NCS)4(HDea)2(Dea)2(dmf)2]·2dmf (3) and [Mn2Cr2(NCS)4(HDea)2(Dea)2(dmso)2]·4dmso (4) have been prepared using zerovalent cobalt (1, 2) or manganese (3, 4), Reineckes salt, ammonium thiocyanate and a non-aqueous solution of diethanolamine (H2Dea) in air. The single X-ray analysis reveals that all compounds have similar centrosymmetric crystal structures based on a tetranuclear {M2Cr2(μ3-O)2(μ-O)4} (M = Co, Mn) core. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1, 2 and 4 show antiferromagnetic coupling between the magnetic centers, while 3 exhibits …
o-Boronato- and o-Trifluoroborato-Phosphonium Salts Supported by L-α-Amino Acid Side Chain.
2015
The synthesis of o-boronato- and o-trifluoroborato-phosphonium salts supported by the L-amino acid side chain is described. The synthesis of these new class of amino acid derivatives was achieved by stereoselective quaternization of o-(pinacolato)boronatophenylphosphine with β- or γ-iodo amino acid derivatives which are prepared from L-serine or L-aspartic acid, respectively. The quaternization of the phosphine was performed using either iodo amino ester or carboxylic acid derivatives. In addition, free carboxylic acid and amine derivatives were obtained by saponification or HCl acidolysis of o-boronato-phosphonium amino esters, respectively. The usefulness of these compounds in peptide cou…
