Composites of hydroxyapatite (HA) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were synthesized by precipitation in water solutions, mass relations of HA/PVP varied in region 3,6-14,5. The composite materials were investigated using XRD, IR, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Based on the TEM results it was found that during calcination of composites at 400 °C small agglomerates consisting of individual crystalline HA particles were formed, resulting in a particle size (according to TEM) slightly larger than coherent scattering region. Using the method of photoinduced EPR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of interaction between HA and PVP. The resulting composites can be used as materials for reconstructive surgery.

AbstractCellular membranes and associated proteins play critical physiological roles in organisms from all life kingdoms. In many cases, malfunction of biological membranes triggered by changes in the lipid bilayer properties or membrane protein functional abnormalities lead to severe diseases. To understand in detail the processes that govern the life of cells and to control diseases, one of the major tasks in biological sciences is to learn how the membrane proteins function. To do so, a variety of biochemical and biophysical approaches have been used in molecular studies of membrane protein structure and function on the nanoscale. This review focuses on electron paramagnetic resonance with site-directed nitroxide spin-labeling (SDSL EPR), which is a rapidly expanding and powerful technique reporting on the local protein/spin-label dynamics and on large functionally important structural rearrangements. On the other hand, adequate to nanoscale study membrane mimetics have been developed and used in conjunction with SDSL EPR. Primarily, these mimetics include various liposomes, bicelles, and nanodiscs. This review provides a basic description of the EPR methods, continuous-wave and pulse, applied to spin-labeled proteins, and highlights several representative applications of EPR to liposome-, bicelle-, or nanodisc-reconstituted membrane proteins.
