Electrochemical determination of estradiol using a poly(l-serine) film-modified electrode

A thin film of poly(l-serine) was prepared via electropolymerization for the determination of trace levels of estradiol. In pH 5.0 phosphate buffer, l-serine was oxidized during the cyclic potential sweeps between −0.60 and 2.0 V, forming a thin film at the electrode surface. The electrochemical behavior of estradiol was investigated. The oxidation peak potential of estradiol shifts negatively at the poly(l-serine) film-coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) compared with that at the bare GCE. Otherwise, the oxidation peak current greatly increases at the poly(l-serine) film-modified GCE. These phenomena suggest that the poly(l-serine) film exhibits catalytic activity towards the electrochemical oxidation of estradiol. Based on this, a sensitive, rapid and simple electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of estradiol. The limit of detection is evaluated to be 2.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹. Finally, this method was successfully used to determine estradiol in blood serum.

Diamino telechelic polybutadienes for solventless styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) triblock copolymer formation

High molecular weight, high functionality diamino telechelic polybutadienes (TPBs) were synthesized by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) in the presence of a chain transfer agent, 1,8-dicyano-4-octene, followed by lithium aluminum hydride reduction. Melt coupling of diamino TPB with anhydride-terminated polystyrene (PS-anh) resulted in the formation of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) triblock copolymers; ca. 80% maximum conversion of PS-anh was achieved within 30 s. The results from SAXS, TEM, and rheological measurements of the coupling products confirmed the formation of SBS triblock copolymers having lamellar morphology. A fluorescent-labeled PS-anh was used to study the coupling kinetics by diluting the reactants by the addition of non-functional PS.     

Effects of tube rupture modeling and the parameters on the analysis of multiple steam generator tube rupture event progression in APR1400

A multiple steam generator tube rupture (MSGTR) event in APR1400 has been investigated using the best estimate thermal hydraulic system code, MARS1.4. The effects of the parameters such as the number of ruptured tubes, rupture location, affected steam generator on the analysis of the MSGTR event in APR1400 are examined. In particular, tube rupture modeling methods, single tube modeling (STM) and double tube modeling (DTM), are compared. The APR1400 is found to have the capability of allowing more than 30 min to operators for the MSGTR event of five tubes. The effects of rupture location on the MSSV lift time is not significant in the case of STM, but the MSSV lift time for tube-top rupture is found to be 25.3% larger than that for rupture at the hot-leg side tube sheet in the case of DTM. The MSSV lift time for the cases that both steam generators are affected (4C5x, 4C23x) are found to be larger than that of the single steam generator cases (4A5x, 4B5x) due to a bifurcation of the primary leak flow. The discharge coefficient of Cd is found to affect the MSSV lift time only for a smaller value of 0.5. It is found that the most dominant parameter governing the MSSV lift time is the leak flow rate. Whether any modeling method is used, it gives the similar MSSV lift time if the leak flow rate is close, except in the case where both steam generators are affected. Therefore, the system performance and the MSSV lift time of the APR1400 are strongly dependent on the break flow model used in the best estimate system code.

Formation and surface modification of self-assembled films with acrylated hyperbranched poly(ester-amine) as the outmost layer

An acrylated hyperbranched poly(ester-amine) (HPEA) synthesized from piperazine and trimethylolpropanetriacrylate at a molar ratio of 1:1.42 was used as the polycation to form self-assembled films by layer-by-layer dipping with poly(sodium-p-styrenesulfonate) as the polyanion. The surface morphology and hydrophilicity of the films with HPEA as the outmost layer were controlled by adjusting the solution pH of HPEA. Due to the existence of many acrylate groups, the films with HPEA as the outmost layer were further reacted with a series of reagents, including piperazine, piperidine, laurylamine and p-phenylenediamine. The surface reactions of the films depended on both the nature of the reagents and the morphology of the initial surface. In the presence of the strong basic amines, piperazine and piperidine, the films dissolved extensively into the solution. In the case of laurylamine, a modified film with an opaque appearance was obtained due to the crystallization of long alkyl chains. With the weak basic amine p-phenylenediamine as the reactant, the film was effectively modified without any change in the surface morphology.     

High affinity hormone binding to the extracellular N-terminal exodomain of the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor is critically modulated by exoloop 3

The human follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSH-R) consists of two distinct domains of >330 amino acids, the N-terminal extracellular exodomain and membrane-associated endodomain. The exodomain alone binds hormone with high affinity, whereas the endodomain is the site of receptor activation. Coordination of these two domains is essential for successful hormone action but little is known about their functional and structural relationship. In this communication, we report that exoloop 3 of FSH-R constrains follicle-stimulating hormone binding to the exodomain. When the FSH-R exodomain was prepared by truncating its endodomain, the hormone binding affinity of the exodomain was slightly improved, compared with the wild type receptor. The binding affinity was further improved by >3-fold when the exodomain was attached to the membrane-associated domain of CD8. These results suggest that the FSH-R endodomain attenuates hormone binding at the exodomain. As a first step to test this hypothesis, the 11 amino acids except Ala589 of exoloop 3 were individually substituted with Ala. Ala substitution for Leu583 or Ile584 improved the hormone binding affinity by 4-6-fold while totally abolishing cAMP induction, indicating an inverse relationship. The Ala substitution for Lys580 or Pro582 had a similar trend but to a lesser extent. This significant improvement in the binding affinity suggests that the four residues at the N-terminal region of exoloop 3 interact with the exodomain and constrain the hormone binding in the wild type receptor. This effect is specific since substitutions for other than the 4 residues did not improve the hormone binding affinity. Computer modeling shows that the 4 residues can be positioned on one side of exoloop 3. This result and the apparent inverse relationship of hormone binding and cAMP induction suggest that these two essential functions may work against each other. Therefore, hormone binding might be compromised to preserve cAMP inducibility while maintaining a reasonably high, but below maximum, binding affinity.
