Transport mechanism of peptides through supported liquid membranes
2007
Abstract The transport of selected dipeptides through supported liquid membranes impregnated with di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid in n-dihexylether has been investigated. The fluxes depend on the side chain of amino acids, presence in the peptide structure. The highest fluxes were obtained for the peptides extracted with the highest efficiency. It has been found that the hydrophobicity of investigated peptides, was not the major factor, influences their SLM permeation. In the conditions studied, it has been observed that the transport of peptide–carrier complex was depending on the acidic–basic properties of the analyte. The linearly least-square fittings of log {K1 + [H+]D} and log[(HR)2]…
Solution properties of polyelectrolytes
1993
Abstract Aqueous size-exclusion chromatography was used to analyse the elution behaviour of several standard ionic polymers, including poly( l -glutamic acid), sodium poly(styrene sulphonate) and poly(acrylic acid), different in nature and chain flexibility, as a function of the pH and ionic strength of the eluent. Two organic-based hydrophilic packings, Spherogel TSK PW4000 and Ultrahydrogel 250, were tested in order to select the optimal conditions of macromolecular separation, and the results obtained for each column were compared. A set of calibration graphs for the above polyions as a function of eluent pH and ionic strength were obtained and compared with those obtained for uncharged …
Cell Adhesive and Antifouling Polyvinyl Chloride Surfaces Via Wet Chemical Modification
2012
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most frequently used polymers for the manufacturing of medical devices. Limitations for its usage are based upon unfavorable surface properties of the polymer including its hydrophobicity and lack of functionalities in order to increase its versatility. To address this issue, wet chemical modification of PVC was performed through surface amination using the bifunctional compound ethylene diamine. The reaction was conducted in order to achieve maximum surface amination while leaving the bulk material unaffected. The initial activation step was characterized by means of various methods including contact angle measurements, colorimetric amine quantificati…
Zur kinetik des einstellvorganges im osmometer. IV. Bestimmung des zahlenmittels des molekulargewichts bei unfraktionierten polymeren1
1962
Der durch teilweise Permeation bedingte Fehler des gemessenen osmotischen Druckes eines unfraktionierten Polymeren kann berechnet werden, wenn die fur das Permeationsverhalten masgebenden Konstanten der Membran und die molekulare Verteilungsfunktion des Polymeren bekannt sind. Unter diesen Voraussetzungen wird unter Verwendung fruher abgeleiteter Beziehungen1 der durch Gl. (1) definierte Fehlbetrag Δt berechnet. Ist die spezielle Verteilungsfunktion nicht bekannt, so kann der Fehlbetrag fur ein bestimmtes Polymeres abgeschatzt werden, wenn auser einer osmotischen Mesreihe eine Bestimmung des Gewichtsmittels des Molekulargewichts Mw (bzw. Pw) vorliegt. Voraussetzung der Rechnung ist die Kenn…
Size‐Exclusion Chromatography in Single and Mixed Eluents: Effects of Sorption of Solvent and Polymer Solutes on Novel TSK‐Gel Super AW Columns
2005
Abstract The novel TSK Gel Super AW column packing is based on a polymeric gel with residual hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups on the gel surface. These groups can act as active sites making the chromatographic support compatible both with polar and apolar eluents. This interesting property allows the elution of systems of very different polarities but also induces binary polymer–gel, polymer–solvent, and solvent–gel enthalpic interactions that lead to a mixture of separation mechanisms: repulsion, partition, or adsorption besides the main size‐exclusion chromatography (SEC) mechanism. For this reason, the elution behaviour of many and diverse polymer/solvent systems has been studied in th…
Sensory and Chemical Analysis of Fractions Obtained by Gel Permeation of Water-Soluble Comte Cheese Extracts
1995
The pure water extraction of Comte cheese solubles and their chromatographic separation facilitate sensory analysis experiments with the fractions directly collected from the column. Two extracts, one obtained after ultrafiltration, the other after chromatography on Sephadex G25, have been separated on Toyopearl HW-40S. The sensory evaluation of the obtained fractions shows in the two cases that some fractions have interesting flavors. However, physicochemical analysis shows that organoleptic characteristics are linked more to the presence of amino acids and salts than to the presence of peptides. Apart from monosodium glutamate, most of the amino acids are present in the fractions at conce…
Packings of an unidimensional regular pore structure as model packings in size-exclusion and inverse size-exclusion chromatography
1996
Using porous aluminas and aluminosilicates with a regular and well-defined pore structure an attempt was made to correlate the SEC data of polystyrenes with established theoretical models. The pore structure of the two types of packings was extensively characterized by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen sorption and mercury porosimetry. The SEC distribution coefficients measured experimentally were correlated with the distribution coefficients calculated from the theoretical models for flexible polymers. A good correlation was observed for the packing of the simplest pore morphology, but remarkable deviations appeared for the materials with a more complex pore …
Preparation of monodisperse polyethylene oxides by gel permeation chromatography of discontinuous polymer-homologous series
1970
Abstract Starting from triethylene glycol, monodisperse polyethylene oxides of a molecular weight (MW) up to 2000 (degree of polymerisation (DP) During the first step the ditosylate of triethylene glycol is reacted with the sodium alkoxide of the same diol at room temperature. The condesation product (polymer homologues of triethylene glycol) was separated by molecular distillation and yielded the pure oligomers nonaethylene glycol (DP = 9, MW 414) and pentadecaethylene glycol (DP = 15, MW = 678), as proved by gel chromatography. During the next step the polymer homologues of nonaethylene glycol were synthesised in a similar way. The pure oligomers hepteicosa (DP = 27, MW = 1207) and pentat…
Theory-based improvements of continuous polymer fractionation demonstrated for poly(carbonate)
1992
For the first time, a quantitative theoretical analysis (liquid/liquid phase equilibria treated by means of the continuous thermodynamics) of the operating characteristics of continuous polymer fractionation (CPF) was performed. The results of these calculations were compared with data published for CPF of polyethylene. It turned out that the efficiency of the conventional CPF corresponds to approximately two theoretical plates only. For this reason, several improvements, suggested by theoretical considerations, were realized experimentally, for which purpose the system dichloromethane/diethylene glycol/bisphenol-A polycarbonate was chosen. The pulsating sieve-bottom column was replaced by …
Revisiting Secondary Structures in NCA Polymerization: Influences on the Analysis of Protected Polylysines
2014
Two series (degree of polymerization: 20–200) of polylysines with Z and TFA protecting groups were synthesized, and their behavior in a range of analytical methods was investigated. Gel permeation chromatography of the smaller polypeptides reveals a bimodal distribution, which is lost in larger polymers. With the help of GPC, NMR, circular dichroism (CD), and MALDI-TOF, it was demonstrated that the bimodal distribution is not due to terminated chains or other side reactions. Our results indicate that the bimodality is caused by a change in secondary structure of the growing peptide chain that occurs around a degree of polymerization of about 15. This change in secondary structure interferes…
