An 18-amino acid polypeptide systemin was synthesized by the solid-phase method and its conformation was studied by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The peptide in solution is a mixture of random coil structure with β-sheet and β-turn motifs as has been previously suggested with NMR spectra. Free zone capillary electrophoresis analysis proved purity and chemical stability of systemin at different pH.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are effector molecules of the innate immune system and have been isolated from multiple organisms. Their antimicrobial properties are due to the fact that they interact mainly with the anionic membrane of the microorganisms, permeabilizing it and releasing the cytoplasmic content. Alyteserin 1c (+2), an AMP isolated from Alytes obstetricans and its more cationic and hydrophilic analogue (+5) were synthesized using the solid phase method, in order to study the interaction with model membranes by calorimetric and spectroscopic assays. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that both peptides had a strong effect when the membrane contained phosphatidylcholine (PC) alone or was mixed with phosphatidylglycerol (PG), increasing membrane fluidization. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was used to study the secondary structure of the peptide. Peptide +2 exhibited a transition from β-sheet/turns to β-sheet/α-helix structures after binding with model membranes, whereas peptide +5 had a transition from aggregation/unordered to β-sheet/α-helix structures after binding with membrane-contained PC. Interestingly, the latter showed a β-sheet structure predominantly in the presence of PG lipids. Additionally, molecular dynamics (MD) results showed that the carboxy-terminal of the peptide +5 has the ability to insert into the surface of the PC/PG membranes, resulting in the increase of the membrane fluidity.

The main-chain structure and chlorine distribution of chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM), which was prepared via gas-solid phase method, were studied in this article. All the structure types of CSM 3550 and CSM 3570 were completely characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). According to the1H NMR and13C NMR spectra, the chlorine content (Cl wt %) and sulfur content (S wt %) of CSM 3550 and CSM 3570 could be completely calculated and this value was much close to the theoretical values, which were provided by the manufacturer. The comparison shows that the chlorine distribution of CSMs via gas-solid phase method is more uniform than that of CSMs via solution method.

Analogs of angiotensin II in which phenylalanine in position 8 was replaced with cymantrenylalanine or with its triphenylphosphine photosubstitution product were synthesized by the solid-phase method. On rabbit aorta strips, these peptides were found to be pure antagonists of angiotensin II. Their relative affinities are higher than most other analogs substituted in position 8 with bulky amino-acids.

Solid Phase Method

In an attempt to determine some of the structural features in position 1 that account for V1 antagonism, four new analogues of arginine-vasopressin were synthesized and the effect of the modifications on the vasoconstrictor activity was checked using isolated mesenteric arterial vessels of rats. The protected precursors required for these analogues were synthesized by a solid phase method of peptide synthesis. One of the reported analogues, namely [1-(4-mercapto-4-tetrahydrothiopyraneacetic acid)., 2-O-methyltyrosine, 8-arginine]vasopressin appears to be a potent competitive antagonist of the vasoconstrictor effect by AVP.

Two {Met(0)6}deacetyl-thymosin β4analogs containing Phe(4F) or Tyr(Me) at position 12 were synthesized by the manual solid-phase method, and their anti-inflammatory effect on carrageenin-induced edema in the mouse paw was studied. Fluorination of the para-position of Phe12resulted in a marked antiinflammatory effect on carrageenin-induced edema in the mouse paw compared with that of our synthetic {Met(0)6}deacetyl-thymosin β4, but the other analog, {Met(0)6, Tyr(Me)12}deacetyl-thymosin β4, showed a marked reduction of the anti-inflammatory effect.

In this paper, La0.65Sr0.35MnO3 (LSM) oxide powder with ultrafine structure has been synthesized by self-propagating combustion method. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and laser size analysis. Compared to the powders prepared by traditional solid-phase method, the grain size of powders prepared by self-propagating combustion method is relatively small and uniform. Starting from ultrafine LSM powders, sensing electrode (SE) for NO2 mixed-potential sensors based on yttria-stablized zirconia (YSZ) was fabricated. As-obtained NO2 sensor displays fast response and high sensitivity (25.4mV/decade). The response values of the sensor have good linear relationship with the logarithm of NO2 concentration varying from 30ppm to 500ppm.Keywords:Self-propagating combustion method; La0.65Sr0.35MnO3; NOx sensor; YSZ
