Solubility of amaranth seed proteins in sodium sulphate and sodium chloride: the main factor in quantitative extraction for analysis

Nitrogen was extracted more efficiently from amaranth seed with 0.04 M Na₂SO₄ (5% w/v) than with either 0.09 M or 0.17 M NaCl (5% or 10% w/v), despite both solutions having the same ionic strength (μ= 1). Solubility of saline soluble proteins (albumin ± globulin) was very poor in either water or 1M NaCl, but increased in 0.4M NaCl at alkaline pH between 7 and 10. Globulins were very soluble in 0.4M NaCl at a pH 9. Albumin was the main storage protein. Saline soluble proteins formed very weak gels.     

人血清白蛋白对模拟宫腔液中铜的光电响应特性的影响

用动电位伏安法，动电位光电流测量，表面膜的阴极还原和XRD分析等手段研究了铜在含或不含人血清白蛋白的模拟宫腔液（pH=7)中的电化学和光电化学行为，在不含白蛋白的模拟宫腔液中，铜电极表面生成的Cu2O呈n型光响应；一定量白蛋白存在时使Cu2O的光响应从n型转为p型，Cu2O在模拟宫腔液中呈n型光响应可归因于氯离子对Cu2O的掺杂，白蛋白排斥氯离子对Cu2O的掺杂，使其光响应从n型转为p型。

Citrate-stabilized CdSe/CdS quantum dots as fluorescence probe for protein determination

A rapid, ultrasensitive and convenient fluorescence measurement technology based on the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity resulting from the interaction of functionalized CdSe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was proposed. The citrate-stabilized CdSe/CdS (QDs) were synthesized by using Se powder and Na₂S as precursors instead of any pyrophoric organometallic precursors. The modified CdSe/CdS QDs are brighter and more stable against photobleaching in comparison with organic fluorophores. At pH 7.0, the fluorescence signal of CdSe/CdS is enhanced by increasing the concentration of BSA in the range of 0.1–10 μg/mL, and the low detection limit is 0.06 μg/mL. A linear relationship between the enhanced fluorescence peak intensity (ΔF) and BSA concentration (c) is established using equation ΔF=50.7c+16.4 (R=0.996 36). Results of determination for BSA in three synthetic samples are identical with the true values, and the recovery (98.9%–102.4%) and relative standard deviation (RSD, 1.8%–2.5%) are satisfactory.     

荧光法研究3种黄酮化合物与牛血清白蛋白的结合作用

运用荧光光谱法研究了生理酸度条件下（pH=7.4）3种黄酮化合物白杨素、芹菜素和桑色素与牛血清白蛋白（BSA）的结合作用。结果表明,3种黄酮化合物均能与BSA形成基态复合物导致BSA内源荧光猝灭,猝灭机理为静态猝灭。结合常数K（芹菜素）〉K（白杨素）〉K（桑色素）,结合位点数近似等于1,白杨素与BSA之间以疏水作用为主,而芹菜素、桑色素与BSA之间的作用力主要是氢键和范德华力。黄酮分子结构中羟基位置及个数影响其与BSA间的结合作用,C4＇-OH对结合有促进作用,而C3-OH的取代则导致作用力减弱。由Frster非辐射能量转移理论,计算出3种黄酮化合物在蛋白质中的结合位置与212位色氨酸残基间的距离分别为2.44 nm（白杨素）、3.34 nm（芹菜素）和3.31 nm（桑色素）。     

Factors associated with serum magnesium and vascular stiffness in maintenance hemodialysis patients

Introduction : We evaluated the associated factors of serum magnesium in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Furthermore, we evaluated the relationship between low serum magnesium and arteriosclerosis in these patients. Methods : In 129 patients on MHD, we evaluated the blood levels of magnesium, brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (ba‐PWV), ankle‐brachial index (ABI), and intima‐media thickness of the common carotid artery (IMT). Findings : In MHD patients, the serum level of magnesium was significantly correlated with age, calcium, TNF‐α, albumin, and ba‐PWV but not with ABI or IMT. In the multiple regression analysis, albumin (P = 0.0001, β = 0.31) and calcium (P = 0.029, β = 0.18) were selected as significant predictors of the magnesium level in MHD patients. Furthermore, the serum level of magnesium, as well as systolic blood pressure (P = 0.0001, β = 0.32) and age (P = 0.005, β = 0.25), were selected as significant (P = 0.012, β = ?0.22) predictors of ba‐PWV in MHD patients. Discussion : In MHD patients, the serum magnesium level was associated with the serum levels of calcium and albumin. Furthermore, a low serum magnesium level in MHD patients was associated with the index of vascular stiffness.
