Dynamic light scattering

The main aims of this research are: To determine the phase inversion temperatures for the formation of oil-in-brine nanoemulsions at various salt concentrations using conductivity measurements; To prepare the nano-emulsions at PIT points, and study their stability by measuring their droplet size, polydispersity and size distribution using dynamic light scattering technique; To confirm the DLS results using Cryo-SEM technique;...

This study focuses on the stability of nano-emulsions produced by phase inversion temperature method using n-Decane and n-Dodecane as the dispersed phase and pure water/brine as the aqueous phase (continuous phase). A non-ionic surfactant (Brij 30) was used in the preparation of the nano-emulsions. Three different types salt namely \(NaCl\), \(KCl\) and \(MgC{l_2}\) were used at different concentrations.

Porcine heart cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase (s-MDH) is a dimeric protein (2 · 35 kDa). We have studied equilibrium unfolding and refolding of s-MDH using activity assay, fluorescence, far-UV and near-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, hydrophobic probe-1-anilino8-napthalene sulfonic acid binding, dynamic light scattering, and chromatographic (HPLC) techniques. The unfolding and refolding transitions are reversible and show the presence of two equilibrium intermediate states.

Many organelle enzymes coded for by nuclear genes have N-terminal sequences, which directs them into the organelle (precursor) and are removed upon import (mature). The experiments described below charac-terize the differences between the precursor and mature forms of water-melon glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase. Using recombinant protein methods, the precursor (p-gMDH) and mature (gMDH) forms were puri-fied to homogeneity using Ni 2+ –NTA affinity chromatography.

The physiological phenomenon that the antisweet taste effect of gymnemic acid (GA) is diminished by application of c-cyclodextrin (c-CD) to the mouth was evaluated at the molecular level using isothermal titration calorimetry, NMR and dynamic light scattering. These analyses showed that GA specifically binds to c-CD.

Changes in the oligomeric status of MutS protein was probed in solution by dynamic light scattering (DLS), and corroborated by sedimentation ana-lyses. In the absence of any nucleotide cofactor, free MutS protein [hydro-dynamic radius (Rh) of 10–12 nm] shows a small increment in size (Rh 14 nm) following the addition of homoduplex DNA (121 bp), whereas the same increases to about 18–20 nm with heteroduplex DNA containing a mismatch.

The poorly known mechanism of inhibition of cholinesterases by inorganic mercury (HgCl2) has been studied with a view to using these enzymes as biomarkers or as biological components of biosensors to survey polluted areas. The inhibition of a variety of cholinesterases by HgCl2 was investi-gated by kinetic studies, X-ray crystallography, and dynamic light scatter-ing.

The formation and structure of proinsulin C-peptide oligomers has been investigated by PAGE, NMR spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering. The results obtained show that C-peptide forms oligomers of different sizes, and that their formation and size distribution is altered by salt and divalent metal ions, which indicates that the aggregation process is medi-ated by electrostatic interactions.
