Abstract:
A new two-step method is suggested for the preparation of homogeneous alginate gels. In the first step, alginate chains are weakly bonded by Ca2+ ions in an aqueous solution with a low pH. In the next step, the gel is immersed into a strong solution of CaCl2 to finalize the cross-linking process. Homogeneous alginate gels preserve their integrity in aqueous solutions with a pH ranging from 2 to 7 and ionic strength in the interval from 0 to 0.2 M, at temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 50 °C, and can be used in biomedical applications.

Abstract:
We have examined the effects of chemical modification with trimethyloxonium (TMO) and changes in external pH on the properties of acetylcholine (ACh)-activated channels in BC3H-1 cells, a clonal muscle cell line. TMO reacts covalently and specifically with carboxylic acid moieties in proteins to convert them to neutral methyl esters. In BC3H-1 cells TMO modification reduces the whole-cell response to ACh measured at negative membrane potentials by approximately 60%. G omega seal patch-clamp recordings of single ACh channel currents showed that the reduction in ACh sensitivity is due to alterat

In this report, we investigated three stabilization strategies of gold nanoparticles and their practical application for the visual detection of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). Citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are generally unstable in high-ionic-strength samples. Au NPs are easily tagged with various proteins and biomolecules rich in amino acids, leading to important biomedical applications including targeted drug delivery, cellular imaging, and biosensing. The investigated assays were based on different modes of stabilization, such as the incorporation of polyethylene glycol (PEG

Ionic conductive hydrogels have attracted increasing research interest in flexible electronics. However, the limited resilience and poor fatigue resistance of current ionic hydrogels significantly restrict their practical application.

Such a PU/PVA-Li hydrogel comprises a primary network of covalently crosslinked polyurushiol (PU) and a secondary network formed by physically crosslinked poly(viny

Nanochitin was developed to effectively utilize crab shells, a food waste product, and there is ongoing research into its applications. Short nanowhiskers were produced by sonicating partially deacetylated nanochitin in water, resulting in a significant decrease in viscosity due to reduced entanglement of the nanowhiskers. These nanowhiskers self-assembled into a multilayered film through an evaporation technique. The macro- and nanoscale structures within the film manipulate light, producing vibrant and durable structural colors. The dried cast film exhibited green and purple stripes extendin

Eggs and fry of medaka, Oryzias latipes, were incubated continuously from shortly after fertilization until 7 days after hatching using a factorial design with four water conductivities (9, 16, 28, and 49 μS/cm) and four pH levels (4.2, 4.5, 5.6, or 6.6). Results on survival suggest that only during hatching can independent effects of pH and ionic strength be statistically separated. Mortalities of encapsulated embryos and fry were determined by interactions between pH and ionic strength. Sensitivity to dilute, low pH water was greatest in freshly fertilized eggs and 1- to 4-day-old fry. Egg m

For the first time, a conductometric enzyme biosensor was developed to determine arginine concentrations. The bioselective membrane of the biosensor was formed by immobilization of arginine deiminase on the surface of gold planar transducer using covalent crosslinking of glutaraldehyde with bovine serum albumin. An effect of the solution characteristics (ionic strength, buffer capacity) on the biosensor functioning was studied. The proposed monoenzyme biosensor was shown to have high sensitivity to arginine (minimum limit of detection - 5 μM) and good selectivity towards possible interferents.

SummaryA simple method for biological assay of dermatan sulfate (DS) in plasma is described. DS accelerates thrombin inhibition by heparin cofactor II (HC II). The principle of the assay is to measure the residual amidolytic thrombin activity after a short period of incubation with HC II in defibrinated plasma at low ionic strength. For this method we take advantage of two observations. Firstly, at fixed concentrations of DS and of HC II, the rate of thrombin inhibition increases when the ionic strength of the medium decreases. Secondly, defibrination by bentonite absorption also removes antit

Supramolecular hydrogels are 3D, elastic, water-swelled materials that are held together by reversible, non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic, ionic, host–guest interactions, and metal–ligand coordination. These interactions determine the hydrogels’ unique properties: mechanical strength; stretchability; injectability; ability to self-heal; shear-thinning; and sensitivity to stimuli, e.g., pH, temperature, the presence of ions, and other chemical substances. For this reason, supramolecular hydrogels have attracted considerable attention as carriers for active substance
