The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different functional groups of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on the binding characteristics towards a specific template molecule by examining selectivity and recognition processes. Several non-covalent theophylline imprinted polymers (TIPs) were prepared by using only methacrylic acid (MAA), or MAA and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) comonomer, or MAA and acrylamide (ACM) comonomer. In all cases, a high amount of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as crosslinker existed in the medium. The highest selective theophylline binding of TIPs was found to be 61%, 41% and 40% for MAA/EDMA, MAA/HEMA/EDMA and MAA/ACM/EDMA systems, respectively. The use of a comonomer (ACM or HEMA) reduced the binding performance of the MAA/EDMA polymer matrix, probably due to the monomer-monomer association and morphological differences. Results obtained from the batch binding experiments demonstrated that all of the TIPs have sites that have selective binding ability for theophylline, but not to another structurally similar molecule, caffeine. According to the Langmuir isotherm model, a heterogeneous distribution of binding sites was observed in the polymers. The maximum association constant and binding site density were computed as 2.3 x 10(2) mM(-1) and 8.6 mu mol/g, respectively, for copolymer of MAA/EDMA under the examined concentration range.

In the present study, we applied the molecular hybridization approach to combine isoquinolinedione and urea pharmacophores in the same molecules. The hybrid compounds (IU1-IU14) were obtained by the reaction of 2-aminohomophthalimide and an equivalent amount of various isocyanate derivatives. After confirming the chemical structures and evaluating drug-likeness properties, the synthesized compounds were examined for their antibacterial activities against a wide range of bacteria. The compounds possessing li...
Chemoselective Immobilization of Proteins by Microcontact Printing and Bio-orthogonal Click Reactions
Tolstyka, Zachary P.; Richardson, Wade; Bat, Erhan; Stevens, Caitlin J.; Parra, Dayanara P.; Dozier, Jonathan K.; Distefano, Mark D.; Dunn, Bruce; Maynard, Heather D. (Wiley, 2013-12-16)
Herein, a combination of microcontact printing of functionalized alkanethiols and site-specific modification of proteins is utilized to chemoselectively immobilize proteins onto gold surfaces, either by oxime- or copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide click chemistry. Two molecules capable of click reactions were synthesized, an aminooxy-functionalized alkanethiol and an azide-functionalized alkanethiol, and self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formation on gold was confirmed by IR spectroscopy. The alkanethiols were then...
Tunable surface plasmon resonance on an elastomeric substrate

In this study, we demonstrate that periods of metallic gratings on elastomeric substrates can be tuned with external strain and hence are found to control the resonance condition of surface plasmon polaritons. We have excited the plasmon resonance on the elastomeric grating coated with gold and silver. The grating period is increased up to 25% by applying an external mechanical strain. The tunability of the elastomeric substrate provides the opportunity to use such gratings as efficient surface enhanced Ram...
Peptide stapling by late-stage Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling

The development of peptide stapling techniques to stabilise alpha-helical secondary structure motifs of peptides led to the design of modulators of protein-protein interactions, which had been considered undruggable for a long time. We disclose a novel approach towards peptide stapling utilising macrocyclisation by late-stage Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of bromotryptophan-containing peptides of the catenin-binding domain of axin. Optimisation of the linker length in order to find a compromise between both...
Collagen/PEO/gold nanofibrous matrices for skin tissue engineering
Akturk, Omer; Keskin, Dilek (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2016-01-01)
As a novel approach in skin tissue engineering, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized and incorporated at different concentrations into collagen/PEO nanofibrous matrices in this study. The group containing 14.27 ppm AuNPs (CM-Au) had the best nanofibrous morphology. CM-Au was cross-linked with glutaraldehyde vapor (CM-AuX). All groups were disrupted in collagenase in 2 h, but cross-linked groups and Matriderm (R) resisted hydrolytic degradation for 7 and 14 days, respectively. Due to its small pores a...
