Conformational Switching of Proteins on Material Surfaces Enabled by Peptide‐Oriented Adsorption

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Responsive biointerfaces could be achieved using conformationally responsive proteins; however, their interconversion can be lost upon surface adsorption. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation a Au binding peptide into calmodulin allows for binding control on Au wherein the protein retains conformational switching. This capability was confirmed

Induction of opsonic antibodies to the γ-d-glutamic acid capsule ofBacillus anthracisby immunization with a synthetic peptide-carrier protein conjugate [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2004
The capsule of Bacillus anthracis, a polymer of gamma-D-glutamic acid, functions as a virulence determinant and is a poor immunogen. In this study we show that antibodies reactive with the B. anthracis capsule can be elicited in mice by immunization with a conjugate consisting of a synthetic gamma-D-glutamic acid nonamer peptide (gamma-D-glu9 ...

Effects of size and diet on stable hydrogen isotope values (δD) in fish: implications for tracing origins of individuals and their food sources

, 2011
9 páginas.Recent studies suggest that stable hydrogen isotope ratios (δD) of fish can be used to track their watershed origin and the relative contributions of source material.

Nanoamphizymes: Self‐Assembled Amphiphilic Enzymatic Nanomaterials for High‐Performance Biocatalysis and Biosensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An amphiphilic GOx nanoamphizyme was constructed by covalently introducing hydrophobic PPNI linkers onto GOx, enabling spontaneous self‐assembly into tunable nanoparticles. Mild crosslinking further stabilized the assemblies and enhanced catalytic performance and stability.

Kupffer cells play important roles in the metabolic degradation of a soluble anti-tumor (1 → 3)-β-d-glucan, SSG, in mice [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1996
Metabolic degradation of a soluble highly branched (-->3)-beta-D-glucan, SSG, was examined in mice using a macrophage blocker, gadolinium chloride (GdCl3). Intraperitoneally administered SSG distributed in the liver was slowly degraded, and after 5 weeks about 30% of the SSG became anionic.

Neuromorphic Devices for Extreme Environments: State‐Variable Reliability and Stabilization Strategies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Neuromorphic devices for extreme environments are interpreted through the physical states that store and process information. Radiation, temperature extremes, and vacuum can perturb vacancies, filaments, trapped charges, polarization, interfaces, and readout signals.

Poly-γ-d-glutamic acid and protective antigen conjugate vaccines induce functional antibodies against the protective antigen and capsule ofBacillus anthracisin guinea-pigs and rabbits [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2009
Anthrax is a lethal infectious disease caused by the spore-forming Bacillus anthracis. The two major virulence factors of B. anthracis are exotoxin and the poly-gamma-d-glutamic acid (PGA) capsule. The three components of the exotoxin, protective antigen (PA), lethal factor and edema factor act in a binary combination, which results in massive edema ...

In Situ Interfacial Assembly of Dynamic Semi‐Interpenetrating Biopolymer Networks for Robust and Mechanically Adaptive Droplet Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamic interfacial semi‐interpenetrating polymer network is constructed by sequential assembly of β‐sheet‐rich SF and CS‐RL. The SF framework provides mechanical strength, while dynamically associated CS‐RL enables local rearrangement, allowing droplets to rapidly reconfigure without loss of interfacial integrity.

Production of β-D-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces fragilis in batch cultures with cheese whey as substrate

Revista Técnica de la Facultad de Ingeniería, 2010
The capacity of kluyveromyces fragilis (K. marxianus) ATCC 8554 to induce the production of β-D-galactosidase during growth in deproteinized cheese whey at temperatures of 25ºC and 29ºC and at initial pH of 4.5 was studied. Enzyme activity was determined in cell-free extracts evaluating the hydrolysis of o-nitrophenyl- β-D-galactopiranoside (ONPG),
