Book Dispersed and Deposited Polyelectrolyte Complexes and Their Interactions to Chiral Compounds and Proteins

Download or read book Dispersed and Deposited Polyelectrolyte Complexes and Their Interactions to Chiral Compounds and Proteins written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polyelectrolyte complexation is a rapidly growing field with applications in functional multilayer (PEM) and nanoparticle (PEC) generation, where PEM films are deposited using Layer-by-Layer technique initiated by Decher and PECs are prepared using mixing-centrifugation technique initiated by our group. Its advantages (e.g. easy preparation) result in various applications in aqueous solution, especially in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. Therefore, the objectives in this study are to explore interesting applications of polyelectrolyte complexation in the field of low molecular chiral compound and high molecular protein binding. Due to the rapidly growing demands for preparing optically pure compounds in the pharmaceutical field, herein, enantiospecific PEM and PEC were prepared using chiral polyelectrolytes (e.g. homo-polypeptide) and their ability of chiral recognition was investigated by ATR-FTIR, UV/Vis etc. Chiral PEM and PEC showed pronounced enantiospecificity for both small (amino acids, vitamin) and large (protein) chiral compounds. This chiral recognition is performed by a diffusion process of chiral compounds into PEM based on the structures of chiral selector (PEM, PEC) and chiral probes (chiral compounds). However, the influences, e.g. pH value, ionic strength, surface orientation etc., were found to affect significantly the enantiospecificity. Beside planar substrates, porous membranes (e.g. PTFE) were modified using chiral PEM and successfully applied in enantiospecific permeation. Additionally, protein binding properties of PEC particle dispersions or PEC particle films were also studied. Due to the properties of polyelectrolytes used for PEC (e.g. molecular weight, charge density) and proteins (e.g. isoelectric point, size, hydrophobicity), PEC showed different uptake characteristics towards different proteins. Electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction as well as counterion release force were considered as possible driving forces for protein b.

Book Investigation of the General Properties of Some Polyelectrolyte Complexes

Download or read book Investigation of the General Properties of Some Polyelectrolyte Complexes written by Nermin Acar and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polyelectrolyte complexes, also called interpolymer complexes, are new class of chemically distinct and identifiable compounds. They are formed by polyelectrolytes that are macromolecules carrying a relatively large number of functional groups, orunder suitable conditions can become charged. Polyelectrolytes interact with various low and high molecular weight substances and form interpolymer complexes. These complexes are either separated from the solution as solids (polycomplex salt) or may settle as a polyelectrolyte complex gel, and they can be soluble in solution by controlling experimental factors. They are, in general, obtained in either case, by mixing polyelectrolytes solution, and by matrix polymerization. Significant differences might exist between the chemical, thermal and mechanical properties ofinterpolymer complexes with respect to their components and experimental conditions. All biological macromolecules, proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides are polyelectrolytes and interact with each other and small ions during their biological function. Their electrostatic interactions contribute a significant part of the structural stabilization of biological molecules and they are major determinants for the kinetics of biological process. Considering all these vital processes research on the polyelectrolyte complexes obtained by synthetic polyelectrolytes might be a simple model system for the complicated biopolymer reactions. Studying the special properties of polycomplex formation between synthetic polyelectrolytes and low molecular weight compounds can be useful for understanding the nature of protein-lipid interaction in biomembranes or in the mechanism of protein denaturation. On the other hand, polyelectrolyte complexes are very promising materials for semi-permeable membranes for the industrial applications such as desalting of sea water, ultrafiltration and purification of aqueous solution and also for ultrafiltration of biological liquids.With all the above given respects, numerous studies have been made successively onvarious polyelectrolyte complexes in the last two decades. However very few studies have been reported on the interaction between some certain polyphosphates andvinylpyridine polymers. One of a few studies with poly(phosphate) has been given by N.Acar and T.Tulun on the interaction of poly(sodiumphosphate) (PSP) andpoly(4-vinylpyridiniumchloride) (P4VPHCl). The present study was aimed to investigate the interaction between poly(sodiumphosphate) and poly(4-vinylpyridiniumchloride) with 4-amino benzoic acid (low molecular weight compound) individually as well as the detailed continuation of the previous work which dealt with the polyelectrolyte complex formed by PSP and P4VPHCl.Poly(sodium phosphate) is interesting because it is an inorganic polymer and, rather unusually it is one of the few anionic polymers of the integral type. Actually polyphosphates are somewhat analogous to the nucleic acids. Vinylpyridine polymers have particular importance as polyelectrolytes and have great ability to develop interpolymer complexes with polyacids.The present study aims to form polyelectrolyte model complexes similar to or mimicking biologically active compounds and, thus, to understand the operating mechanism of biopolymers in living organisms through the investigation of the structure and various features of these model complexes. In the experimental part of the study, insoluble polyelectrolyte complexes were obtained from the both, concentrated and dilute solutions of PSP and P4VPHCl. Stoichiometry of the isolated complexes were found to be 1:1 as a result of analysis of the supernatant liquid in conjunction with concentration of the initial components.In the dilute aqueous solution, occurrence of polyelectrolyte complex was proved by UV spectroscopy. Salt effect of NaCl, the effect of NaCl on complex formation andthermal properties of complexes were investigated.Regarding the reaction of PSP with 4-amino benzoic acid, hydrochloride (PABCl),the stoichiometry of complex was found as 1:1.2 using viscometric and volumetricanalysis of the supernatant. Besides, spectroscopic and conductometric methods were used for the complex stoichiometry. The experimental factors such as pH,ionic strength and temperature that affect the stoichiometry of complex were investigated.In the case of the poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) with 4-aminobenzoic acid, IR spectroscopy , potentiometry and DSC were used and the nature of binding between the components was identified as hydrogen bonding.It is known that transition metals take part in the biochemical process. In the present study, interaction of copper (II) with P4VP- PABA complex system is of interest. Potentiometric method was used to follow the above stated interaction in aqueousethanol solution for P4VP-PABA system. Protonation and the stability constants ofP4VP-PABA system were determined.Swelling properties of polyelectrolyte systems have been studied largely due to their industrial uses. In order to investigate the swelling properties of P4VPHCl-PSP system, PSP and P4VP that is the initial component of polycation were subjected to irradiation for six different radiation doses to obtain cross linked structure. It is found that radiation has no affect on PSP.After irradiation the insoluble, the gel, parts were determined by soxhlet extraction and UV spectroscopy. Up to certain dose the gelpercent of P4VP samples increased, and thereafter remained unchanged. From the relation between gel fraction and radiation dose, the efficiency of crosslinking and of scission were determined. Irradiated P4VP that contained only gel part was quaternized to obtain waterswellable P4VPHCl gel. The interaction of P4VPHCl gel with the aqueous solution of PSP was investigated considering ionic strength and pH.
