Solvent Modulation of Polysacharide Conformation
Polymers are widely used in solution to provide structure and function, e.g., viscoelasticity, colloidal stability, and delivery of actives. Underlying these functions are interand intra-molecular interactions that are modulated by the solvent used. Solvents can have a great impact on polymer conformation [Alexandridis and Yang, 2000]. A solvent may enable the dissolution of a certain polymer o...
متن کاملNucleosome conformation: pH and organic solvent effects.
Monomer nucleosomes (nu 1) from chicken erythrocyte nuclei were examined in aqueous buffers (8 greater than pH greater than 3) and in solvent mixtures (i.e., water and ethanol, ethylene glycol, dioxane, dimethyl sulfoxide, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, polyethylene glycol, sucrose, or urea). Circular dichroism, laser Raman spectroscopy of nu 1, and the fluorescence of nu 1 labeled with N-(3-pyrene)...
متن کاملProtein-solvent interactions.
The central importance of solvent interactions in stabilization of specific protein structure has long been recognized. Decades ago, Tanford and Kirkwood treated in detail the interaction of charges with solvent, and they showed how desolvation/burial of charges upon protein folding was an important factor in stability.1 The influence of their model, with further elaborations, can still be seen...
متن کاملCarbohydrate-aromatic interactions.
The recognition of saccharides by proteins has far reaching implications in biology, technology, and drug design. Within the past two decades, researchers have directed considerable effort toward a detailed understanding of these processes. Early crystallographic studies revealed, not surprisingly, that hydrogen-bonding interactions are usually involved in carbohydrate recognition. But less exp...
متن کاملBoron-Carbohydrate Interactions
Boron-polyol interactions are of fundamental importance to human health [1], plant growth [2] and quorum sensing among certain bacteria [3]. Such diversity is perhaps not surprising when one considers boron is one of the ten most abundant elements in sea water and carbohydrates make up the planet’s most abundant class of biomass. Several boronic acids matrices are commercially available for the...
