Dependence of Micelle Size and Shape on Detergent Alkyl Chain Length and Head Group
Micelle-forming detergents provide an amphipathic environment that can mimic lipid bilayers and are important tools for solubilizing membrane proteins for functional and structural investigations in vitro. However, the formation of a soluble protein-detergent complex (PDC) currently relies on empirical screening of detergents, and a stable and functional PDC is often not obtained. To provide a ...
متن کاملEffect of Alkyl Chain Length on Adsorption Behavior and Corrosion Inhibition of Imidazoline Inhibitors
Inhibition performances of imidazoline derivatives with different alkyl chain length for carbon steel in H2S acid solutions has been studied by polarization curves, AC impedance measurements, current transient, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) techniques. Results showed that the inhibition occurs through adsorption of the inhibitors molecules ...
متن کاملAlkylfurans: effects of alkyl side-chain length on insecticidal activity.
The insecticidal activity of five alkylfurans against the generalist insect herbivore beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, was examined. Two naturally occurring compounds, the avocadofurans 2-(pentadecyl)furan (1) and 2-(heptadecyl)furan (2), previously isolated from specialized avocado idioblast oil cells, and three homologues, 2-(tetradecyl)furan (3), 2-(hexadecyl)furan (4), and 2-(octadecyl)fur...
متن کاملEffects of alkyl chain length of gallate on self-association and membrane binding.
Alkyl gallates are anticipated for their use as anti-bacterial and anti-viral agents. Although their pharmacological activities depend on their alkyl chain length, no mechanism has yet been clarified. As described herein, we investigated the membrane binding properties of a series of alkyl gallates using fluorescence measurement to elucidate their different pharmacological activities. Membrane ...
متن کاملSurface properties and hemocompatibility of alkyl-siloxane monolayers supported on silicone rubber: effect of alkyl chain length and ionic functionality.
Self-assembled monolayers of alkylsiloxanes supported on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) rubber were used as model systems to study the relation between blood compatibility and surface composition. The inner lumen of PDMS tubes were first treated with an oxygen plasma. The resultant oxidized surfaces were post-derivatized by reaction with alkyltrichlorosilanes to form the monolayer films. The alk...
