Bleaching Step

An important measure of the conformation of protein molecules is the degree of surface exposure of its specific segments. However, this is hard to measure at the level of individual molecules. Here, we combine single molecule photobleaching (smPB, which resolves individual photobleaching steps of single molecules) and fluorescence quenching techniques to measure the accessibility of individual fluorescently labeled protein molecules to quencher molecules in solution. A quencher can reduce the time a fluorophore spends in the excited state, increasing its photostability under continuous irradiation. Consequently, the photo-bleaching step length would increase, providing a measure for the accessibility of the fluorophore to the solvent. We demonstrate the method by measuring the bleaching step-length increase in a lipid, and also in a lipid-anchored peptide (both labelled with rhodamine-B and attached to supported lipid bilayers). The fluorophores in both molecules are expected to be solvent-exposed. They show a near two-fold increase in the step length upon incubation with 5 mM tryptophan (a quencher of rhodamine-B), validating our approach. A population distribution plot of step lengths before and after addition of tryptophan show that the increase is not always homogenous. Indeed there are different species present with differential levels of exposure. We then apply this technique to determine the solvent exposure of membrane-attached N-terminus labelled amylin (h-IAPP, an amyloid associated with Type II diabetes) whose interaction with lipid bilayers is poorly understood. hIAPP shows a much smaller increase of the step length, signifying a lower level of solvent exposure of its N-terminus. Analysis of results from individual molecules and step length distribution reveal that there are at least two different conformers of amylin in the lipid bilayer. Our results show that our method (“Q-SLIP”, Quenching-induced Step Length increase in Photobleaching) provides a simple route to probe the conformational states of membrane proteins at a single molecule level.

SummaryThe interaction between GPIb and thrombin promotes platelet activation elicited via the hydrolysis of the thrombin receptor and involves structures located on the segment 238-290 within the N-terminal domain of GPIbα and the positively charged exosite 1 on thrombin. We have investigated the ability of peptides derived from the 269-287 sequence of GPIbα to interact with thrombin. Three peptides were synthesized, including Ibα 269-287 and two scrambled peptides R1 and R2 which are comparable to Ibα 269-287 with regards to their content and distribution of anionic residues. However, R2 differs from both Ibα 269-287 and R1 by the shifting of one proline from a central position to the N-terminus. By chemical cross-linking, we observed the formation of a complex between 125I-Ibα 269-287 and α-thrombin that was inhibited by hirudin, the C-terminal peptide of hirudin, sodium pyrophosphate but not by heparin. The complex did not form when γ-thrombin was substituted for α-thrombin. Ibα 269-287 produced only slight changes in thrombin amidolytic activity and inhibited thrombin binding to fibrin. R1 and R2 also formed complexes with α-thrombin, modified slightly its catalytic activity and inhibited its binding to fibrin. Peptides Ibα 269-287 and R1 inhibited platelet aggregation and secretion induced by low thrombin concentrations whereas R2 was without effect. Our results indicate that Ibα 269-287 interacts with thrombin exosite 1 via mainly electrostatic interactions, which explains why the scrambled peptides also interact with exosite 1. Nevertheless, the lack of effect of R2 on thrombin-induced platelet activation suggests that proline 280 is important for thrombin interaction with GPIb.

Model isotherm Langmuir menunjukkan bahwa proses penyerapan berlangsung secara kimia dan biosorpsi homogeny dari adsorbat (Rhodamine B) pada permukaan biosorben membentuk lapisan tunggal dengan nilai R2 0.9966. Analisis XRF menunjukkan bahwa penurunan kadar unsur logam pada cangkang Pensi membuktikan bahwa proses biosorpsi berlangsung dengan pertukaran kation. Hasil analisis spektrum FT-IR membuktikan adanya interaksi antaramolekul Rhodamin B dengan gugus fungsi pada cangkang Pensi. Analisis dengan SEM memperlihatkan bahwa pori-pori cangkang Pensi telah terisi penuh oleh molekul Rhodamin B. Kondisi optimum biosorpsi telah diaplikasikan pada limbah kerupuk merah dengan kapasitas penyerapan sebesar 0,2835 mg/g.   The biosorption of Rhodamine B dyes by Pensi (Corbicula moltkiana) shell has been investigated.

<div><div><div><p>The emergence of viral nanotechnology over the preceding two decades has created a number of intellectually captivating possible translational applications; however, the in vitro fate of the viral nanoparticles in cells remains an open question. Herein, we investigate the stability and lifetime of virus-like particle (VLP) Qβ - a representative and popular VLP for several applications - following cellular uptake. By exploiting the available functional handles on the viral surface, we have orthogonally installed the known FRET pair, FITC and Rhodamine B, to gain insight of the particle’s behavior in vitro. Based on these data, we believe VLPs undergo aggregation in addition to the anticipated proteolysis within a few hours of cellular uptake.</p></div></div></div>

Background: On May 4th, 2016, at 12:30 district surveillance officer of Magelang Health Department received reports from Public Health Center of Bandongan about 21 students of SDN 1 Trasan who suffered from the same food-poisoning symptoms. Objective: Investigation was carried out to identify the source, how it spread and how to control it. Methods: This study used descriptive analytic and mapping the cases distribution location. The case was people experiencing symptoms of dizziness or abdominal pain or nausea or vomiting. Data analysis was done by using bivariate analysis. Data collection were done through interviews, observations and laboratory tests on the food samples. Results: The case was 50 students (from 1-6 grade students). The perceived symptoms were dizziness (77%), nausea (42%), abdominal pain (40%) and vomiting (8%). Attack rate found ranged from 14.3% to 60% with the highest Attack rate found on class three (60%). The incubation period of 15-240 minutes (mean 72.3 minutes). Calamari like positive Bacillus cereus and Rhodamine-B 10 mg/kg. Conclusion: The outbreak of food poisoning because calamari like contaminated Bacillus cereus. We suggested the school committee to provide the socialization of harmful food for the students. The teachers should restrict the permission for the food vendor to sell at school.   Keywords: Bacillus cereus, , Food Poisoning, Outbreak, Rhodamine B, School Food

Para Determinar

Una revisión de los estudios de dispersión y una determinación preliminar de T-90 se ha realizado en el mar de Chimbote-Perú. En relación a los estudios de dispersión se presenta una ecuación diferencial fundamental y su solución para el caso de tres dimensiones. La forma y características de la pluma trazadora se definen también como el ratio de disminución de las concentraciones pico. El método considera un punto de inyección con Rhodamine B y Iodine 131 como trazadoras para determinar los coeficientes de dispersión que gobiernas los ratios de dispersión de aguas industriales y desecho a ser descargadas a través de una salida que va a ser instalada en el mar de Chimbote. El método presentado aquí permite el cálculo de los coeficientes de dispersión e influencia del difusor sin importar la naturaleza de la composición del agua en los cuales la prueba se lleva a cabo. Con relación las determinaciones T-90, ellos tuvieron mejor desempeño por el uso de una técnica trazadora combinada, usando el I-131 para la medida de la dilución y Rhodamine B como una ayuda visual. Se tomaron en consideración la dilución y decrecimiento en las concentraciones bacteriales al igual que la inyección continua de radio trazadores. Los valores de T-90 estimados desde los experimentos deberían ser reconfirmados en futuros experimentos bajo condiciones oceanográficas diferentes.
