Interaction between Negatively Charged Fish Gelatin and Cyclodextrin in Aqueous Solution: Characteristics and Formation Mechanism.

ABSTRACT: The effect that ratios of fish gelatin (FG) to α/β/γ cyclodextrins (α, β, γCDs) had on the phase behavior of a concentrated biopolymer mixture were comparatively investigated. This showed that the formed biopolymer mixture had the highest gel strength at ratios of FG-CD = 90:10. FG could interact with CDs to form stable soluble complexes with lower values of turbidity, particle size and ζ-potential. All of the FG-CD mixture solutions exhibited pseudo-plastic behaviors, and FG-αCD samples had the highest viscosity values than others. The addition of CDs could unfold FG molecules and make conformation transitions of FG from a random coil to β-turn, leading to the environmental change of hydrophobic residues and presenting higher fluorescence intensity, especially for βCDs. FTIR results revealed that the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between FG and CD could change the secondary structure of FG. These findings might help further apply FG-CD complexes in designing new food matrixes.

Paul trapping of charged particles in aqueous solution.

Project description:We experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of an aqueous Paul trap using a proof-of-principle planar device. Radio frequency voltages are used to generate an alternating focusing/defocusing potential well in two orthogonal directions. Individual charged particles are dynamically confined into nanometer scale in space. Compared with conventional Paul traps working in frictionless vacuum, the aqueous environment associated with damping forces and thermally induced fluctuations (Brownian noise) exerts a fundamental influence on the underlying physics. We investigate the impact of these two effects on the confining dynamics, with the aim to reduce the rms value of the positional fluctuations. We find that the rms fluctuations can be modulated by adjusting the voltages and frequencies. This technique provides an alternative for the localization and control of charged particles in an aqueous environment.

Physicochemical Characterization of Daptomycin Interaction with Negatively Charged Lipid Membranes.

Project description:Daptomycin is known as an effective antibiotic lipopeptide which shows activity against the number of Gram-positive pathogens. Its primary target is the bacterial cell membrane. However, the detailed mechanism of daptomycin action is still subject to debate. In this paper, we have investigated the interactions between lipopeptide and model lipid films composed of negatively charged phosphatidylglycerols and cardiolipin. In order to evaluate the effect of daptomycin on the molecular organization and the properties of lipid assemblies, we have used surface pressure measurements and electrochemical methods combined with atomic force microscopy, quartz crystal microbalance, and surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy. Our results indicate that daptomycin interaction with the lipid membrane is complex. It involves daptomycin aggregation and partial insertion, which in turn affect the charge distribution on both sides of the membrane and may result in a gradient of water chemical potential. The latter can drive the flux of water across the membrane.

Pectin Stabilized Fish Gelatin Emulsions: Physical Stability, Rheological, and Interaction Properties

Project description:Pectin, a kind of natural polysaccharide, shows the attractive potential as a natural stabilizer for protein emulsion. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pectin on the physical stability, rheology, interface, and interaction properties of the fish gelatin (FG) emulsion, as pectin was utilized to improve the stability of FG, fish oil emulsion. During the study, when pH < 6, the FG-pectin emulsion displayed better storage stability and salinity tolerance. Analyzing the result, pectin could avoid phase separation at the freeze-thaw process and prevent the liquid-gel transition of FG emulsions during storage. On the other hand, when pH ≥ 6, the emulsion displayed high viscosity due to the complex flocculation and stratified during long-term storage. Electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and hydrogen bonding of the FG-pectin complexes in the emulsion were all reduced. Overall, pectin improved the stability of FG emulsions through electrostatic repulsion, hydrophobic interactions, and steric hindrance.

Preparation of Fish Skin Gelatin-Based Nanofibers Incorporating Cinnamaldehyde by Solution Blow Spinning.

Project description:Cinnamaldehyde, a natural preservative that can non-specifically deactivate foodborne pathogens, was successfully incorporated into fish skin gelatin (FSG) solutions and blow spun into uniform nanofibers. The effects of cinnamaldehyde ratios (5-30%, w/w FSG) on physicochemical properties of fiber-forming emulsions (FFEs) and their nanofibers were investigated. Higher ratios resulted in higher values in particle size and viscosity of FFEs, as well as higher values in diameter of nanofibers. Loss of cinnamaldehyde was observed during solution blow spinning (SBS) process and cinnamaldehyde was mainly located on the surface of resultant nanofibers. Nanofibers all showed antibacterial activity by direct diffusion and vapor release against Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes. Inhibition zones increased as cinnamaldehyde ratio increased. Nanofibers showed larger inhibition effects than films prepared by casting method when S. typhimurium was exposed to the released cinnamaldehyde vapor, although films had higher remaining cinnamaldehyde than nanofibers after preparation. Lower temperature was favorable for cinnamaldehyde retention, and nanofibers added with 10% cinnamaldehyde ratio showed the highest retention over eight-weeks of storage. Results suggest that FSG nanofibers can be prepared by SBS as carriers for antimicrobials.

Wavelength dependent mechanism of phenolate photooxidation in aqueous solution.

Project description:Phenolate photooxidation is integral to a range of biological processes, yet the mechanism of electron ejection has been disputed. Here, we combine femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, liquid-microjet photoelectron spectroscopy and high-level quantum chemistry calculations to investigate the photooxidation dynamics of aqueous phenolate following excitation at a range of wavelengths, from the onset of the S0-S1 absorption band to the peak of the S0-S2 band. We find that for λ ≥ 266 nm, electron ejection occurs from the S1 state into the continuum associated with the contact pair in which the PhO˙ radical is in its ground electronic state. In contrast, we find that for λ ≤ 257 nm, electron ejection also occurs into continua associated with contact pairs containing electronically excited PhO˙ radicals and that these contact pairs have faster recombination times than those containing PhO˙ radicals in their ground electronic state.

Topochemical control of the photodimerization of aromatic compounds by ?-cyclodextrin thioethers in aqueous solution.

Project description:The formation of soluble 1:2 complexes within hydrophilic ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) thioethers allows to perform photodimerizations of aromatic guests under controlled, homogenous reaction conditions. The quantum yields for unsubstituted anthracene, acenaphthylene, and coumarin complexed in these ?-CD thioethers were found to be up to 10 times higher than in the non-complexed state. The configuration of the photoproduct reflected the configuration of the dimeric inclusion complex of the guest. Anti-parallel orientation of acenaphthylene within the CD cavity led to the exclusive formation of the anti photo-dimer in quantitative yield. Parallel orientation of coumarin within the complex of a CD thioether led to the formation of the syn head-to-head dimer. The degree of complexation of coumarin could be increased by employing the salting out effect.

Comparison of positively and negatively charged achiral co-monomers added to cyclodextrin monolith: improved chiral separations in capillary electrochromatography.

Project description:Cyclodextrins (CDs) and their derivatives have been one of the most popular and successful chiral additives used in electrokinetic chromatography because of the presence of multiple chiral centers, which leads to multiple chiral interactions. However, there has been relatively less published work on the use of CDs as monolithic media for capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The goal of this study was to show how the addition of achiral co-monomer to a polymerizable CD such as glycidyl methacrylate ?-cyclodextrin (GMA/?-CD) can affect the enantioselective separations in monolithic CEC. To achieve this goal, polymeric monoliths columns were prepared by co-polymerizing GMA/?-CD with cationic or anionic achiral co-monomers [(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) and vinyl benzyltrimethyl-ammonium (VBTA)] in the presence of conventional crosslinker (ethylene dimethacrylate) and ternary porogen system including butanediol, propanol and water. A total of 34 negatively charged compounds, 30 positively charged compounds and 33 neutral compounds were screened to compare the enantioresolution capability on the GMA/?-CD, GMA/?-CD-VBTA and GMA/?-CD-AMPS monolithic columns.

Macrophage reprogramming by negatively-charged membrane phospholipids controls infection

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (ECV) are heterogeneous membrane-enclosed structures containing proteins, nucleic acids and lipids that participate in intercellular communication by transferring their content to recipient cells. Although most of the attention has been directed at the biological effect of proteins and microRNA, the contribution of phospholipids present in ECV on cellular activation has not been extensively addressed. Here we investigated the biological effect of phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), two phospholipids highly abundant in ECV. A transcriptomic analysis revealed that about 4,700 genes were specifically modified by exposing peritoneal macrophages to PS or PC liposomes in vivo. Among them, the expression of several chemokines and cytokines was highly upregulated by PS liposome treatment, translating into a massive neutrophil infiltration into the peritoneum capable of neutralizing a septic polymicrobial insult. Both the L and D stereoisomers of PS induced the same response, suggesting that the effect was related to the negative charge of the phospholipid head. We concluded that an increase in the internal negative charge of the cell triggers a signaling cascade activating an innate immune response capable of controlling infection.

Interactions of Mycotoxin Alternariol with Cyclodextrins and its Removal from Aqueous Solution by Beta-Cyclodextrin Bead Polymer.

Project description:Alternariol is an Alternaria mycotoxin that appears in fruits, tomatoes, oilseeds, and corresponding products. Chronic exposure to it can induce carcinogenic and xenoestrogenic effects. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are ring-shaped molecules built up by glucose units, which form host-guest type complexes with some mycotoxins. Furthermore, insoluble CD polymers seem suitable for the extraction/removal of mycotoxins from aqueous solutions. In this study, the interactions of alternariol with ?- and ?-CDs were tested by employing fluorescence spectroscopic and modeling studies. Moreover, the removal of alternariol from aqueous solutions by insoluble ?-CD bead polymer (BBP) was examined. Our major observations/conclusions are the following: (1) CDs strongly increased the fluorescence of alternariol, the strongest enhancement was induced by the native ?-CD at pH 7.4. (2) Alternariol formed the most stable complexes with the native ?-CD (logK = 3.2) and the quaternary ammonium derivatives (logK = 3.4-3.6) at acidic/physiological pH and at pH 10.0, respectively. (3) BBP effectively removed alternariol from aqueous solution. (4) The alternariol-binding ability of ?-CD polymers was significantly higher than was expected based on their ?-CD content. (5) CD technology seems a promising tool to improve the fluorescence detection of alternariol and/or to develop new mycotoxin binders to decrease alternariol exposure.

Removal of Aromatic Chlorinated Pesticides from Aqueous Solution Using β-Cyclodextrin Polymers Decorated with Fe₃O₄ Nanoparticles.

Project description:This article describes the sorption properties of cyclodextrin polymers (nanosponges; NS) with the pesticides 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) and 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol (TCF), including an evaluation of its efficiency and a comparison with other materials, such as granulated activated carbon (GAC). NS-pesticide complexes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR), UV⁻VIS, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). This confirms the interactions of the guests with nanosponges and shows that the polymers have favorable sorption capacities for chlorinated aromatic guests. Our studies also show that the inclusion complex is predominantly favored for NS/CPA rather than those formed between TCF and NS due to the size of the adsorbate and steric effects. Sorption studies carried with repeated cycles demonstrate that NS polymers could be an improved technology for pollutant removal from aquatic environments, as they are very efficient and reusable materials. Our experiments and characterization by SEM, EDS, UV⁻VIS, and magnetization saturation (VSM) also show that NS is an optimal substrate for the deposition of magnetite nanoparticles, thus improving the usefulness and properties of the polymer, as the nanosponges could be retrieved from aqueous solution with a neodymium magnet without losing its efficiency as a pesticide sorbent.
