Polyacrylamide gels with electrostatic functional groups for the molecular imprinting of lysozyme
نویسندگان
چکیده
The system of polyacrylamide incorporated with methacrylic acid and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate was studied for the possibility of imprinting of lysozyme. The results show that approximately 27% (w/w) of the lysozyme template was not able to be extracted from the molecularly imprinted acrylamide polymers. The amount of the lysozyme template able to be extracted was increased by the addition of methacrylic acid. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), which was prepared with 0.573 M acrylamide, 0.573 M methacrylic acid and 0.573 M 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate at a total solution concentration of 20% (w/w), was able to adsorb 83% more lysozyme than the non-imprinted polymer. Selectivity of MIP was also studied. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملUsing a Temperature Gradient against the Time in Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis May Eliminate the Need for Stacking Gels
Background and Objectives: Making stacking gels for polyacrylamide gels in the laboratory by conventional methods is laborious and time consuming. Considering the role of temperature in polyacrylamide gels with respect to electrical resistance and viscosity, we assumed that decreasing the temperature would cause an increase in electrical resistance and viscosity. Ultimately, a downward tempera...
