Conformational Effects

The design, synthesis and preliminary conformational studies of two polypeptides exhibiting βαβ-type folding topologies are presented. In the design of the model peptides the general concept for the construction of new proteins developed in the preceeding paper was applied. According to this strategy, amphiphilic helices and β-sheets are linked together via hydrophilic loops to attain three-dimensional structures of higher order (‘supersecondary structures’). Com­puter-assisted molecular modelling served as a valuable tool for minimizing conformational con­straints within the molecules. The 38-residue peptide MI was synthesized using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as solubilizing polymeric support (‘Liquid-Phase synthesis'). Conformationally in­duced changes in the physico-chemical properties of the growing peptide chain stressed the significance of conformational effects in peptide synthesis reported earlier. Similar observations were made during the solid-phase synthesis of the 35-peptide MII. CD and IR spectroscopic studies revealed a high degree of secondary structure for both folding units. The present data strongly support the adoption of a three-dimensional structure for both models.

SummaryMurine monoclonal antibodies (designated hVII-B101/B1, hVIIDC2/D4 and hVII-DC6/3D8) directed against human factor VII (FVII) were prepared and characterized, with more extensive characterization of hVII-B101/B1 that did not bind reduced FVIIa. The immunoglobulin of the three monoclonal antibodies consisted of IgG1. These antibodies did not inhibit procoagulant activities of other vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors except FVII and did not cross-react with proteins in the immunoblotting test. hVII-DC2/D4 recognized the light chain after reduction of FVIIa with 2-mercaptoethanol, and hVIIDC6/3D8 the heavy chain. hVII-B101/B1 bound FVII without Ca2+, and possessed stronger affinity for FVII in the presence of Ca2+. The Kd for hVII-B101/B1 to FVII was 1.75 x 10–10 M in the presence of 5 mM CaCl2. The antibody inhibited the binding of FVII to tissue factor in the presence of Ca2+. hVII-B101/B1 also inhibited the activation of FX by the complex of FVIIa and tissue factor in the presence of Ca2+. Furthermore, immunoblotting revealed that hVII-B101/B1 reacted with non-reduced γ-carboxyglutaminic acid (Gla)-domainless-FVII and/or FVIIa. hVII-B101/B1 showed a similar pattern to that of non-reduced proteolytic fragments of FVII by trypsin with hVII-DC2/D4 on immunoblotting test. hVII-B101/B1 reacted differently with the FVII from the dysfunctional FVII variant, FVII Shinjo, which has a substitution of Gln for Arg at residue 79 in the first epidermal growth factor (1st EGF)-like domain (Takamiya O, et al. Haemosta 25, 89-97,1995) compared with normal FVII, when used as a solid phase-antibody for ELISA by the sandwich method. hVII-B101/B1 did not react with a series of short peptide sequences near position 79 in the first EGF-like domain on the solid-phase support for epitope scanning. These results suggested that the specific epitope of the antibody, hVII-B101/B1, was located in the three-dimensional structure near position 79 in the first EGF-like domain of human FVII.

And Chemical Properties

Polystyrene-polyethylene glycol (PS-PEG) tentacle polymers with loadings of up to 60/<μmol/g were used for standard oligonucleotide synthesis. As these resins are easy to handle and stable under reaction and cleavage conditions they may be used alternatively to controlled pore glass (CPG) as the most commonly used solid support for oligonucleotide synthesis. However, structural and chemical properties of the PS-PEG resins require modified conditions to guarantee syntheses with high coupling efficiencies. Oligonucleotides (ODN ) of various sequences and lengths have successfully been synthesized using HPLC and capillary electrophoresis (CE) for purity control. Additionally, electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS) was used for product identification.

The quaternary A 2W3SeO12 (A = NH4, Cs, Rb, K or Tl) selenites have been prepared in the form of single crystals by hydrothermal and novel solid-state reactions. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal and spectroscopic studies. All of them have a hexagonal tungsten oxide (HTO) related [W3SeO12]2− anionic framework with pyramidally coordinated Se4+ ions. The known A 2W3SeO12 (A = NH4, Cs or Rb) compounds are isostructural with the Cs2W3TeO12 compound and have a non-centrosymmetric layered structure containing intra-layer Se—O bonds. The new compound K2W3SeO12(α) is isostructural with the K2W3TeO12 compound and has a centrosymmetric three-dimensional structure containing interlayer Se—O bonds. It is inferred that the new Tl2W3SeO12 compound has the same three-dimensional structure as K2W3SeO12(α).

AbstractThe possibility of forming nanoporous copper-silicide films with different phase compositions is experimentally demonstrated. For this purpose, the parameters of the initial a -Si/Cu structure and the conditions of its annealing are chosen so that the process of solid-phase synthesis comes to a halt at the stage of formation of a branched silicide cluster. Then the films are subjected to liquid etching in a mixture of diluted inorganic acids. In this case, the metastable Cu_ x Si phase with a low Cu content is selectively removed, and a three-dimensional silicide cluster is released. At the same time, surface Kirkendall voids present in the films open. As a result of these two processes in combination, a nanoporous structure is formed.

Dendrimers are nanosized, symmetrical molecules in which a small atom or group of atoms is surrounded by the symmetric branches known as dendrons. The structure of dendrimers possesses the greatest impact on their physical and chemical properties. They grow outwards from the core-shell which further reacts with monomers having one reactive or two dormant molecules. Dendrimers’ unique characteristics such as hyperbranching, well-defined spherical structure, and high compatibility with the biological systems are responsible for their wide range of applications including medical and biomedical areas. Particularly, the dendrimers’ three-dimensional structure can incorporate a wide variety of drugs to form biologically active drug conjugates. In this review, we focus on the synthesis, mechanism of drug encapsulations in dendrimers, and their wide applications in drug delivery.
