Ordered Nanoporous Alumina Membranes Formed in Oxalic/Phosphoric Acid Using Hard Anodization
Highly self-ordered alumina nanopore arrays were fabricated using hard anodization technique in different mixtures of oxalic/phosphoric acid. The phosphoric acid concentration was varied from 0.05 to 0.3 M while the oxalic acid concentration was changed between 0.3 and 0.4 M. The self ordered nanoporous arrays were obtained in anodization voltage changing from 130 to 200 V. The interpore distan...
متن کاملTranslocation of polysialic acid across model membranes: kinetic analysis and dynamic studies.
Transmembrane translocation of polyion homopolymers takes place in the case of polyanionic polysialic acid (polySia), polyanionic polynucleotides and polycationic polypeptides. The purpose of this work was to determine the role of membrane electrical parameters on the kinetics of polyion translocation, the influence of polysialic acid on ion adsorption on positively charged membrane surface and...
متن کاملExtended Polysialic Acid Chains ( n > 55 ) in Glycoproteins from Human Neuroblastoma Cells
Polysialic acid-containing glycoproteins consisting of extended chains of at least 55 sialyl residues (DP55, where DP represents degree of polymerization) are expressed on human neuroblastoma cells, CHP134. The strategy used for detecting these unique carbohydrate structures was based on the use of two highly specific prokaryotic-derived enzyme systems and an anti-polysialosyl antibody (H.46). ...
متن کاملArtificial Polysialic Acid Chains as Sialidase-Resistant Molecular-Anchors to Accumulate Particles on Neutrophil Extracellular Traps
Neutrophils are involved in numerous immunological events. One mechanism of neutrophils to combat pathogens is the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Thereby, neutrophils use DNA fibers to form a meshwork of DNA and histones as well as several antimicrobial components to trap and kill invaders. However, the formation of NETs can lead to pathological conditions triggering among ...
متن کاملInfluenza A Virus Coding Regions Exhibit Host-Specific Global Ordered RNA Structure
Influenza A is a significant public health threat, partially because of its capacity to readily exchange gene segments between different host species to form novel pandemic strains. An understanding of the fundamental factors providing species barriers between different influenza hosts would facilitate identification of strains capable of leading to pandemic outbreaks and could also inform vacc...
