The microstructure of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) beads for affinity chromatography bioseparations was studied by TEM of stained ultramicrotomed thin-sections. Microstructural aspects such as overall pore size distribution, the distribution of pores within the beads, and surface coverage of functionalized beads affect performance properties. Stereological methods are used to quantify the internal structure of these chromatographic supports. Details of the process for making the PAN beads are given elsewhere. TEM specimens were obtained by vacuum impregnation with a low-viscosity epoxy and sectioning with a diamond knife. The beads can be observed unstained. However, different surface functionalities can be made evident by selective staining. Amide surface coverage was studied by staining in vapor of a 0.5.% RuO4 aqueous solution for 1 h. RuO4 does not stain PAN but stains, amongst many others, polymers containing an amide moiety.

SummaryInteractions between tranexamic acid and protein were studied in respect of the antifibrinolytic actions of tranexamic acid. Tranexamic acid did neither show any interaction with fibrinogen or fibrin, nor was incorporated into cross-linked fibrin structure by the action of factor XIII. On the other hand, tranexamic acid bound to human plasmin with a dissociation constant of 3.5 × 10−5 M, which was very close to the inhibition constant (3.6 × 10−5 M) for this compound in inhibiting plasmin-induced fibrinolysis. The binding site of tranexamic acid on plasmin was not the catalytic site of plasmin, because TLCK-blocked plasmin also showed a similar affinity to tranexamic acid (the dissociation constant, 2.9–4.8 × 10−5 M).In the binding studies with the highly purified plasminogen and TLCK-plasmin preparations which were obtained by affinity chromatography on lysine-substituted Sepharose, the molar binding ratio was shown to be 1.5–1.6 moles tranexamic acid per one mole protein.On the basis of these and other findings, a model for the inhibitory mechanism of tranexamic acid is presented.
