To monitor the specificity of Staphylococcus aureus aptamer (SA-31) against its target cell, we used enzyme-linked aptamer assay. In the presence of target cell, horseradish peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin bound to biotin-labeled SA-31 showed specific binding to S aureus among 3 different bacteria with limit of detection of 103 colony-forming unit per milliliter. The apparent K-a was 1.39 mu M-1 +/- 0.3 mu M-1. The binding of SA-31 to membrane proteins extracted from cell surface was characterized using isothermal titration calorimetry, and the effect of changes in binding temperature and salt concentrations of binding buffer was evaluated based on thermodynamic parameters (K-a, Delta H, and Delta G). Since binding of aptamer to its targets solely depends on its 3-dimensional structure under experimental conditions used in selection process, the change in temperature and ion concentration changed the affinity of SA-31 to its target on surface of bacteria. At 4 degrees C, SA-31 did not show an affinity to its target with poor heat change upon injection of membrane fraction to aptamer solution. However, the apparent association constants of SA-31 slightly varied from K-a = 1.56 mu M-1 +/- 0.69 mu M-1 at 25 degrees C to K-a = 1.03 mu M-1 +/- 0.9 mu M-1 at 37 degrees C. At spontaneously occurring exothermic binding reactions, affinities of S aureus aptamer to its target were also 9.44 mu M-1 +/- 0.38 mu M-1 at 50mM, 1.60 mu M-1 +/- 0.11 mu M-1 at 137mM, and 3.28 mu M-1 +/- 0.46 mu M-1 at 200 mM of salt concentration. In this study, it was demonstrated that enzyme-linked aptamer assay and isothermal titration calorimetry were useful tools for studying the fundamental binding mechanism between a DNA aptamer and its target on the outer surface of S aureus.

Evaluation of sericin/collagen membranes as prospective wound dressing biomaterial AKTÜRK, Omer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; BİLGİLİ, Hasan; Deveci, M. Salih; Gecit, M. Rusen; Keskin, Dilek (2011-09-01) Sericin, a silk protein, has high potential for use in biomedical applications. In this study, wound dressing membranes of Sericin (S) and Collagen (C) were prepared by glutaraldehyde cross-linking at S/C; 2:1,1:1, 1:2, and 0:1 weight ratios. They were stable in water for 4 weeks. However, increasing the proportion of sericin had decreasing effect on the membrane stability. Water swelling property of membranes was enhanced with sericin. The highest water swelling was obtained in 1:1 group (9.06 g/g), but in...
Evaluation of high hydrostatic pressure sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157 : H7 by differential scanning calorimetry Alpas, Hami; BOZOGLU, F; KALETUNC, G (Elsevier BV, 2003-11-01) Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to evaluate the relative high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) resistances of bacterial strains from Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in vivo. The total apparent enthalpy change and thermal stability were two DSC parameters used to compare bacterial strains of untreated control and pressure-treated bacteria. DSC thermograms indicated that ribosomal denaturation appears to be a major factor in cell death by both thermal and high pressure treatments...
The Impact of ions on RNA aptamer-aminoglycoside interactions Fazlıoğlu, Rezzan; İlgü, Müslüm; Department of Biotechnology (2019) Aptamers are small nucleic acid or peptide molecules that can bind to specific targets with high affinity. They have been applied for diagnostic, therapeutic and imaging purposes. In order to have the best performance of aptamers, it is worth understanding their structural dynamics. Previous studies have demonstrated that aptamer structures and thus their performances are affected by the surrounding sodium, potassium and magnesium ion concentrations. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that these ions ...
In Vitro Selection of DNA Aptamers to Glioblastoma Multiforme Bayrac, Abdullah Tahir; Sefah, Kwame; Parekh, Parag; Bayrac, Ceren; Gulbakan, Basri; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Tan, Weihong (2011-03-01) Aptamer probes for specific recognition of glioblastoma multiforme were generated using a repetitive and broad cell-SELEX-based procedure without negative selection. The 454 sequencing technology was used to monitor SELEX, and bioinformatics tools were used to identify aptamers from high throughput data. A group of aptamers were generated that can bind to target cells specifically with dissociation constants (K-d) in the nanomolar range. Selected aptamers showed high affinity to different types of glioblast...
Determination of selected natural hormones and endocrine disrupting compounds in domestic wastewater treatment plants by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry after solid phase extraction Muz, Melis; SÖNMEZ, MARGARET JEANNE M.; Komesli, Okan Tarik; Bakirdere, Sezgin; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (2012-01-01) A new analytical method for the simultaneous determination of two natural hormones (progesterone and estrone) and two selected endocrine disrupter compounds (EDCs) (diltiazem and carbamazepine (Cbz)) was developed by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) after pre-concentration with solid phase extraction (SPE). Influent and effluent samples taken from five different wastewater treatment plants throughout Turkey namely Hurma/Antalya, Lara/Antalya, Kemer-1 and ...
