Main parameters that influence the conjugation procedure were optimized, including the amount of protein per milligram of magnetic particles, the pH and ionic strength of the conjugation buffer. The bead-bound leptospiral fraction... captured with approximately 50 μg of antibody-labelled particles. Strong particle agglutination could be observed during incubation for leptospiral concentrations in the range of 10 7 -10 8 cells per mL. Despite covalent binding, we show that the physical

    of SPR on various important aspects. These include the effect of ionic strength on hybridization efficiency, the specificity to detect the mismatch(es) in target DNAs, the direction of binding (parallel or antiparallel) to target DNAs, and the effect... of target DNA concentration on hybridization efficiency. Results indicated that the immobilized acpcPNA probe possesses distinct hybridization properties relative to aegPNA (and/or DNA) counterparts, including a higher single-base mismatch sensitivity

    -lactoglobulin concentrations, as well as contact time, on the aggregation of β-lactoglobulin were examined. All factors exhibited a combined effect on the size of aggregates, whereby larger aggregates were obtained at increased concentrations of Zn2+and β...-lactoglobulin. At fixed concentrations of 2% (w/v) β-lactoglobulin and 10 mM Zn2+, the particle size of the aggregates increased from 0.19 μm (at 15 min) to 0.38 μm (at 2880 min). Further, a hyphenated technique of SdFFF and inductively coupled plasma-optical

    Characterization of drug-chitosan interaction by 1H NMR, FTIR and isothermal titration calorimetry
    (2008-05-01) Yaowalak Boonsongrit; Bernd W. Mueller; Ampol Mitrevej; Mahidol University; Christian-Albrechts-Universitat zu Kiel
    Electrostatic interaction between opposite charge of drugs (insulin and benzoic acid) and chitosan was studied by 1H NMR, FTIR and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). No ionic interaction between the carboxyl group of benzoic acid and the amine... group of chitosan could be detected. There was a minor change in the FTIR spectra of insulin-chitosan microparticles made of different concentrations of insulin. Exothermic heat of reaction between insulin and chitosan was obtained by ITC. However

The contents of CDM loaded and released were, however, considerably raised as a function of ion concentration of SBF used, indicating the ionic interactions among CDM, MSNs, and SBF.... Then, individual hydrogels were immersed in 0.5 mL of aqueous clindamycin hydrochloride (CDM, 20 mg/mL), mixed with or without simulated body fluid (SBF) used at different ion concentrations, at 37oC for 3 days. The amounts of CDM loaded into and released from each
