Fluorimetric and UV methods of detection for liquid chromatographic determination of phenothiazines (chlorpromazine, acetopromazine and propionylpromazine) were developed. The effects of several experimental parameters on the separation and the sensitivity of the methods were evaluated. The detection limits ranged from 31 to 350 ngml -1 . Optimized methods were successfully applied to...
The physicochemical characterization of the peptide sequences E2 (39-53) and E2 (32-59) corresponding to the structural protein E2 of the GB virus C was done by studying their interaction with model membranes. The peptides showed surface activity concentration dependent when injected beneath a buffered solution. This tendency to accumulate into the air/water interface suggested a potential ability...
Histamine is an important compound from a physiological point of view, but it is toxic since the absorption of low amounts of histamine can cause abdominal pains accompanied with vomiting. Why we have developed a new method for histamine analysis in order to improve Lerke and Bell method. From the absorption spectra, we showed that the stoichiometry of the complex histamine-orthophthalaldehyde (OPA)...
Polymyxins are a family of nonribosomic cationic peptide antibiotics highly effective against Gram-negative bacteria. Two members of this family, Polymyxins B and E (PxB, PxE), form molecular vesicle-vesicle contacts and promote a selective exchange of phospholipids at very low concentrations in the membrane, a biophysical phenomenon that can be the basis of their antibiotic mode of action. To get...
The reagents Lumigen PS-1 and Lumigen PS-3 were originally developed as chemiluminescent substrates for ultrasensitive detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in homogeneous solution and membrane blotting assays. However, an additional unique feature of these acridan-based reagents is the generation of a fluorescent species on reaction with peroxidase, a property which has been termed as chemifluorescence...
The membrane-interacting properties of two potential epitopes of the GB virus C/Hepatitis G virus, located respectively at the regions (99-118) of the E2 structural protein and (440-460) of the NS3 non-structural protein were studied. Changes in the intrinsic fluorescence of Trp and Tyr residues after the addition of DPPC-LUV revealed that the peptide-membrane interaction was optimal above the gel-liquid...
We describe here the preliminary stage of development of a process aiming at the selective uptake and release of metal ions from water. The process envisioned involves the encapsulation of highly selective natural chelates secreted by bacteria or other living species in mesoporous solids that could be used as usual resins. To demonstrate the feasibility of the concept, we use a model system involving...
