This study aimed to understand the structure-property relationship in chitosan (CHI) based layer-by-layer (LbL) films and to correlate the surface properties with the biological characteristics of the multilayers. LbL films of CHI were prepared using two different types of polyacids, i.e. a polyphenol, tannic acid (TA) and a polycarboxylic acid, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). The chemical nature and topology of the polyacid was found to be critical on LbL growth, stability under physiologically related conditions, surface morphology, wettability and drug release properties of the multilayers. The differences in surface properties provided remarkably different biological properties such as anti-adhesiveness against protein adsorption and antibacterial activity for Ciprofloxacin (CIP) incorporated films against Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes). Linearly growing TA/CHI films with relatively smooth surfaces resisted more against protein adsorption when the topmost layer and the protein carried like charges. On the other hand, exponentially growing PAA/CHI multilayers did not exhibit antiadhesive behaviour. Thick and loose PAA/CHI multilayers were able to release higher amount of CIP, thus presented enhanced antibacterial activity compared to thin and more intense TA/CHI films. Finally, we showed that pH affected the extent of association among the layers as well as drug release and antibacterial properties of the films. Our findings showed that TA/CHI films are more promising as antiadhesive surfaces, whereas PAA/CHI multilayers are more suitable for preparation of antibacterial surfaces. The fundamental findings of this study may form a basis for preparation of thin films for drug delivery applications and modification of biomaterial surfaces.

The effect of substitutional impurities on the evolution of FeAl diffusion layer
Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Mehrabov, Amdulla (Elsevier BV, 1998-2-13)
The formation and growth characteristics of Fe based aluminide diffusion layers at the Fe-Al interface have been analysed in terms of interfacial interaction potentials based on the statistico-thermodynamical theory of multicomponent alloys combined with electronic theory in the pseudopotential approximation. The pairwise interatomic interaction potentials and partial ordering energies have been calculated to predict the effect of various alloying additions on the activity coefficient of Al atoms in α-Fe0.9...
The Effect of Ultrasonication on the Size and Morphology of Iron Oxide - Chitosan Nano and Microparticles
Akin, Deniz; YAKAR, ARZU; Gündüz, Ufuk (2013-04-28)
The aim of this study is to synthesize magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan nano and microparticles (Fe3O4-CPs) by suspension cross-linking and ionic gelation methods and investigate the effect of ultrasonication on the size, morphology and magnetic properties. The synthesized particles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The results showed that the ultrasonication decreased the mean particle diameter and enhanced magnetic ...
The effect of arginine-428 mutation on modulation of activity of human liver flavin monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) by imipramine and chlorpromazine
Adalı, Orhan; Philpot, RM (1999-07-01)
This study was carried out to investigate the molecular basis for modulation of recombinant FMO3-catalyzed activity by the tricyclicantidepressants, imipramine and chlorpromazine. A mutant of human liver FMO3 (T428R) was formed by site-directed mutagenesis and characterized along with the native enzyme in order to elucidate a possible structure-function relationship. Functional properties of native and T428R human FMO3s were studied with methimazole as substrate. Both enzymes catalyzed the S-oxidation of me...
The inhibitory effects of lindane in batch and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors
Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01)
In this study, the inhibitory effects of lindane (LIN) on originally unacclimated mixed anaerobic cultures were investigated by anaerobic toxicity assay (ATA) experiments. ATA experiments revealed that 10 mg/l LIN exerted inhibitory effects on anaerobic cultures, which was recoverable. Continuous reactor experiments conducted to determine the inhibitory effects of LIN and the maximum LIN loading rate achievable in two-stage upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors indicated that anaerobic granular cu...
The establishment of coherent phosphate uptake behaviour by the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans
Wagner, F; Sahan, E; Falkner, G (2000-08-01)
The physiological adaptation of the phosphate uptake behaviour of the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans (Synechococcus leopoliensis) has been studied under phosphate-deficient conditions. We show that, during additions of pulses of phosphate, the individual cells of a population potentially develop a coherent behaviour with respect to the kinetic and energetic properties of the high-affinity phosphate uptake system. These adaptive responses are independent of the amount of stored phosphate and the absolute ...
