Molecule Carrier Design: Structuralizing Xanthan Using TMA Chloride
نویسنده
چکیده
The question of how to ensure effective administration has greatly plagued the medical and food industries. Whether it’s cancer drugs or nutrient molecules, without stable carriers these compounds become inactive before they reach their destinations. Ensuring successful administration of these drug molecules requires the discovery of substances that can form rigid, protective structures. Xanthan polysaccharide solution proves to be such a candidate, and the goal of this research is to identify how to facilitate its structuralization.

Purification and Properties of a Novel Xanthan Depolymerase from a Salt-Tolerant Bacterial Culture, HD1.
A novel xanthan depolymerase (endo-beta-1,4-glucanase) was isolated from a salt-tolerant bacteria culture (HD1) grown on xanthan. The depolymerase was purified 55-fold through chromatography on ion-exchange and molecular sieve columns, including high-performance liquid chromatography. The purified enzyme fraction was homogeneous as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular wei...

Xanthan gum, a hydrophilic biopolymer with modified release properties, was used to produce directly compressed matrix tablets containing a model drug, Sodium paminosalicylate. Three formulations were prepared, each containing a different calcium dihydrate salt: Calcium Chloride, Calcium Sulfate or Dibasic Calcium Phosphate. The aim of the investigation was to relate the calcium ion content and...
متن کاملSingle molecule study of xanthan conformation using atomic force microscopy.
Conformations of individual macromolecules of the biopolymer xanthan were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Xanthan from very dilute solutions (1 ppm) was allowed to adsorb onto freshly cleaved mica and examined using tapping mode AFM under ambient conditions. The secondary structure of xanthan was probed by heating the polymer and gradually cooling, which denatured and renature...
متن کاملA pyruvated mannose-specific xanthan lyase involved in xanthan degradation by Paenibacillus alginolyticus XL-1.
The xanthan-degrading bacterium Paenibacillus alginolyticus XL-1, isolated from soil, degrades approximately 28% of the xanthan molecule and appears to leave the backbone intact. Several xanthan-degrading enzymes were excreted during growth on xanthan, including xanthan lyase. Xanthan lyase production was induced by xanthan and inhibited by glucose and low-molecular-weight enzymatic degradation...
