Construction of polymer-protein bioconjugates with varying chain topologies: polymer molecular weight and steric hindrance effects.
We report on the fabrication of well-defined polymer-protein bioconjugates with varying chain architectures, including star polymers, star block copolymers, and heteroarm star copolymers through the specific noncovalent interaction between avidin and biotinylated synthetic polymer precursors. Homopolymer and diblock precursors site-specifically labeled with a single biotin moiety at the chain t...
متن کاملSteric hindrance effects in thin reaction zones: applications to BIAcore
Many biological and industrial processes have reactions which occur in thin zones of densely packed receptors. Understanding the rate of such reactions is important, and the BIAcore surface plasmon resonance biosensor for measuring rate constants has such a geometry. However, interpreting biosensor data correctly is difficult since large ligand molecules can block multiple receptor sites, thus ...
متن کاملSteric Hindrance Assay for Secreted Factors in Stem Cell Culture.
The ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells is significantly inhibited by secreted proteins that induce negative feedback loops. The ability to effectively monitor these factors is critical for their real-time regulation and control and, by extension, enhancing stem cell expansion. Here, we describe a novel monitoring strategy for the detection of soluble signaling factors in stem cell cu...
متن کاملUnusual oxidation of glutathione existing the steric hindrance
Research on the electro-oxidation of glutathione (GSH) may give insight into its real oxidation mechanism on biomembranes. In the present work, the unusual oxidation process of GSH on an Au electrode was probed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. Voltammetric studies showed that –SH in GSH was the unique target of electro-oxidation by excluding the other potential oxidation sites (amido group...
متن کاملTranscription within condensed chromatin: Steric hindrance facilitates elongation.
During eukaryotic transcription, RNA-polymerase activity generates torsional stress in DNA, having a negative impact on the elongation process. Using our previous studies of chromatin fiber structure and conformational transitions, we suggest that this torsional stress can be alleviated, thanks to a tradeoff between the fiber twist and nucleosome conformational transitions into an activated sta...
