AbstractZinc (Zn) and its alloys have received increasing attention as new alternative biodegradable metals. However, consensus has not been reached on the corrosion behaviour of Zn. As cardiovascular artery stent material, Zn is supposed to contact with plasma that contains inorganic salts and organic components. Protein is one of the most important constitute in the plasma and could adsorb on the material surface. In this paper, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a typical protein. Influences of BSA on pure Zn corrosion in phosphate buffered saline is investigated as a function of BSA concentrations and immersion durations by electrochemical techniques and surface analysis. Results showed that pure Zn corrosion was progressively accelerated with BSA concentrations (ranging from 0.05 to 5 g L−1) at 0.5 h. With time evolves, formation of phosphates as corrosion product was delayed by BSA adsorption, especially at concentration of 2 g L−1. Within 48 h, the corrosion of pure Zn was alleviated by BSA at concentration of 0.1 g L−1, whereas the corrosion was enhanced after 168 h. Addition of 2 g L−1 BSA has opposite influence on the pure Zn corrosion. Furthermore, schematic corrosion behaviour at protein/Zn interfaces was proposed. This work encourages us to think more about the influence of protein on the material corrosion and helps us to better understand the corrosion behaviour of pure Zn.

The perfusion of liver with either citrate or tetraphenyl boron to remove Ca2+ or K+ or with a solution of high osmolarity and alkaline pH yields plenty of cells but they are all damaged. Perfusion of the liver with hyaluronidase and collagenase followed by incubation of liver slices in the same enzyme solution produced a high yield of cells (25%, w/w, of liver) of which only about 1% were undamaged. However, perfusion with 0.3% hyaluronidase, 0.3% collagenase and 0.1% trypsin in phosphate-buffered saline (excluding Mg2+ and Ca2+) followed by incubation at 25 °C of the chopped liver gave a small yield (2-4%, w/w) of undamaged cells which were not permeable to eosin for up to an hour when suspended in culture medium containing 2% bovine serum albumin.

The binding equilibrium of deuteroporphyrin IX to human serum albumin and to bovine serum albumin was studied, by monitoring protein-induced changes in the porphyrin fluorescence and taking into consideration the self-aggregation of the porphyrin. To have control over the latter, the range of porphyrin concentrations was chosen to maker dimers (non-covalent) the dominant aggregate. Each protein was found to have one high-affinity site for deuteroporphyrin IX monomers, the magnitudes of the equilibrium binding constants (25 degrees C, neutral pH, phosphate-buffered saline) being 4.5 (+/- 1.5) X 10(7) M-1 and 1.7 (+/- 0.2) X 10(6) M-1 for human serum albumin and for bovine serum albumin respectively. Deuteroporphyrin IX dimers were found to bind directly to the protein, each protein binding one dimer, with high affinity. Two models are proposed for the protein-binding of porphyrin monomers and dimers in a porphyrin system having both species: a competitive model, where each protein molecule has only one binding site, which can be occupied by either a monomer or a dimer; a non-competitive model, where each protein molecule has two binding sites, one for monomers and one for dimers. On testing the fit of the data to the models, an argument can be made to favour the non-competitive model, the equilibrium binding constants of the dimers, for the non-competitive model (25 degrees C, neutral pH, phosphate-buffered saline), being: 8.0 (+/- 1.8) X 10(8) M-1 and 1.2 (+/- 0.6) X 10(7) M-1 for human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin respectively.

Aim: A surrogate matrix is needed to quantify 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in dried whole blood (DWB). To date, there has been limited guidance on approaches for quantification of endogenous analytes in atypical matrices, such as DWB. Methods: Different surrogate matrices were investigated in a systematic process using an LC–MS/MS assay. Performance assessment was made using quality controls of DWB with different hematocrits. Results & conclusion: Suitability of both phosphate-buffered saline containing bovine serum albumin and washed red blood cells recombined with phosphate-buffered saline containing bovine serum albumin as a surrogate matrix was demonstrated across a range of concentrations and hematocrits representative of expected endogenous analyte samples.

Driven by the urgent demand for novel electrochemiluminescence reagents, a water-soluble polyfluorene derivative, poly [(9,9-bis (3-((N,N-dimethylamino)N-ethy-lammonium) propyl)-2,7-fluorene)-alt-2,7-(9,9-p-divinylbenzene)] dibromide (P-2), was designed and success-fully synthesized. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the formation of P-2, and the results showed that P-2 had strong fluorescence intensity. More importantly, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of the prepared P-2 was also observed when the applied potential was cycled between 1.0 to 2.8 V at 100 mV·s-1 in phosphate buffered saline buffer solution (pH 8.20). Based on the stable ECL performance, an ECL system for bovine serum albumin (BSA) was constructed. Under the optimal conditions, the enhanced ECL intensity was linearly correlated to the concentration of BSA over the range of 5.0×10-8-1×10-4 g·mL-1 (R=0.9996) with a detection limit of 1.26×10-8 g·mL-1 (n=11). This work not only introduced a substitute for traditional ECL regents, but also proposed a simple ECL system for other analytes.

The thermal melting of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the presence of excipients like ethanol and sucrose was studied by circular dichroism spectroscopy at physiological pH in phosphate buffered saline. Calculated apparentTmvalues were used to assess the thermal stability using two state fitted experimental curves. 0.5 M sucrose stabilized the BSA indicated by the increase inTmof ∼8°C when compared to theTmof the same solution measured in the absence of sucrose. Conversely, in the presence of varying concentrations of ethanol (2–20%), the protein was destabilized by a decrease of ∽3–10°C ofTm. In the binary mixture of sucrose and ethanol, theTmvalues showed that ethanol dominantly destabilized BSA in the presence of sucrose, possibly by weakening the hydrophobic interactions in the protein.
