Solubilization of Peptides
ity. The amino acid composition will provide a fi rst indication: before choosing a solvent, the sequence should be studied and the number of acidic, basic and neutral residues should be determined. The side-chain functionalities of acidic and basic amino acids will be charged at physiological pH. The nature of the Nand the C-terminal functionality has to be taken into consideration. The neutra...
متن کاملSolubilization of Hydrophobic Dyes in Surfactant Solutions
In this paper, the use of surfactants for solubilization of hydrophobic organic dyes (mainly solvent and disperse dyes) has been reviewed. The effect of parameters such as the chemical structures of the surfactant and the dye, addition of salt and of polyelectrolytes, pH, and temperature on dye solubilization has been discussed. Surfactant self-assemble into micelles in aqueous solution and bel...
متن کاملNonionic Microemulsions as Solubilizers of Hydrophobic Drugs: Solubilization of Paclitaxel
The strategy using nonionic microemulsion as a solubilizer for hydrophobic drugs was studied and is demonstrated in this work. The aqueous phase behaviors of mixed nonionic surfactants with various oils at 37 °C are firstly constructed to give the optimal formulations of nonionic microemulsions with applications in the enhanced solubilization of the model hydrophobic drug, paclitaxel, at 37 °C....
متن کاملSelective and Reversible Photochemical Derivatization of Cysteine Residues in Peptides and Proteins.
Selective derivatization of solvent-exposed cysteine residues in peptides and proteins is achieved by brief irradiation of an aqueous solution containing 3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-naphthol derivatives (NQMPs) with 350 nm fluorescent lamp. NQMP can be conjugated with various moieties, such as PEG, dyes, carbohydrates, or possess a fragment for further selective derivatization, e.g., biotin, azide, alk...
متن کاملImprovement of the Pharmacological Properties of Maize RIP by Cysteine-Specific PEGylation
To improve the pharmacological properties of maize ribosome-inactivating protein (maize RIP) for targeting HIV-infected cells, the previously engineered TAT-fused active form of maize RIP (MOD) was further engineered for cysteine-directed PEGylation. In this work, two potential antigenic sites, namely Lys-78 and Lys-264, were identified. They were mutated to cysteine residue and conjugated with...
