Abstract

A method of preparing a thin polymer layer able to recognize double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was developed by using 2-vinyl-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine (VDAT) as a functional monomer for creating a DNA-imprinted polymer. The formation of hydrogen bonds between VDAT and A-T base pairs in dsDNA was confirmed by measuring the effects of VDAT on the melting point and the NMR and CD spectra of dsDNA. An imprinted polymer that can recognize dsDNA of the verotoxin gene was prepared by polymerizing VDAT, acrylamide, a crosslinking agent, and the template verotoxin dsDNA on a silanized glass surface. The specificity of this polymer layer for binding verotoxin dsDNA was investigated by using fluorescent-labelled dsDNAs. The fluorescence intensity of the polymer layer after binding verotoxin dsDNA was twice as high as after binding oligo(dG)-oligo(dC), indicating that verotoxin dsDNA was preferentially bound to the polymer imprinted with verotoxin dsDNA. The kinetics of verotoxin dsDNA binding to the imprinted polymer were analyzed by surface plasmon resonance measurements. The dissociation constant (KD) was low, of the order of 10(-9)M.

Influence of the activator in an acrylic bone cement on an array of cement properties.

In all but one of the acrylic bone cement brands used in cemented arthroplasties, N,N-dimethyl-4-toluidine (DMPT) serves as the activator of the polymerization reaction. However, many concerns have been raised about this activator, all related to its toxicity. Thus, various workers have assessed a number of alternative activators, with two examples being N,N-dimethylamino-4-benzyl laurate (DMAL) and N,N-dimethylamino-4-benzyl oleate (DMAO). The results of limited characterization of cements that contain DMAL or DMAO have been reported in the literature. The present work is a comprehensive comparison of cements that contain one of these three activators, in which the values of a large array of their properties were determined. These properties range from the setting time and maximum exotherm temperature of the curing cement to the variation of the loss elastic modulus of the cured cement with frequency of the applied indenting force in dynamic nanoindentation tests. The present results, taken in conjunction with those presented in previous reports by the present authors and co-workers on other properties of these cements, indicate that both DMAL and DMPT are suitable alternatives to DMPT.

Dynamic scaling of polymer gels comprising nanoparticles.

We present dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements of soft poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) and polyacrylamide (PA) polymer gels prepared with trapped bodies (latex spheres or magnetic nanoparticles). We show that the anomalous diffusivity of the trapped particles can be analyzed in terms of a fractal Gaussian network gel model for the entire time range probed by DLS technique. This model is a generalization of the Rouse model for linear chains extended for structures with power law network connectivity scaling, which includes both percolating and uniform bulk gel limits. For a dilute dispersion of strongly scattering particles trapped in a gel, the scattered electric field correlation function at small wavevector ideally probes self-diffusion of gel portions imprisoning the particles. Our results show that the time-dependent diffusion coefficients calculated from the correlation functions change from a free diffusion regime at short times to an anomalous subdiffusive regime at long times (increasingly arrested displacement). The characteristic time of transition between these regimes depends on scattering vector as approximately q(-2), while the time decay power exponent tends to the value expected for a bulk network at small q. The diffusion curves for all scattering vectors and all samples were scaled to a single master curve.
