The effect of the low-molecular-mass natural reagents in high concentrations is important for investigating enzymatic reactions in near "in vivo" conditions and for optimisation of biotechnology processes. A model system, including p-nitrophenyl acetate as substrate and alpha-chymotrypsin as proteolytic enzyme, has been used to study the effect of high concentrations of sucrose, both influencing the viscosity of the reaction medium and acting as a nucleophilic effector (activator) on the enzymatic reaction. A kinetic scheme at high concentrations of nucleophilic effectors (sucrose) has been proposed.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol and electrocatalysis by Prussian blue were compared for the selective detection of HO at the boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes. The HO detection was optimized by various parameters such as the applied potential at pH 7.4, which is a physiological value usually used for HO detection in enzymatic reactions.

Simultaneous quantification of siRNA antisense and sense strands by hybrid liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Bioanalysis

January 2025

Bioanalysis Discovery & Development Sciences, Johnson & Johnson, Spring House, PA, USA.

Background: Most oligonucleotide bioanalytical assays currently only quantify the pharmacologically-active antisense strand, though there have been recent efforts to simultaneously quantify the sense strand using hybridization ELISA or solid phase extraction LC-MS. Hybrid LC-MS, which offers both high sensitivity and specificity unlike the currently used platforms, has not been applied to quantify both siRNA strands simultaneously.

Materials & Methods: A hybrid LC-MS assay utilizing LNA capture probes was developed and applied to quantify both strands of a 21-mer lipid-conjugated siRNA (SIR-3) using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).

Seeking effective improvement agent control measures to enhance the photosynthetic physiological traits and yield levels of spring maize is crucial for efficient green agriculture in arid regions. Therefore, this study was conducted to clarify the effects of coupling improvement agents under magnetoelectric activated water irrigation conditions on the photosynthetic physiological traits, grain nutrients, and yield of spring maize in the arid region of northwest China. Field experiments were set up with three concentrations of growth regulators: 400 times (G1), 500 times (G2), and 600 times (G3), and three amounts of : 15 kg/ha (R1), 45 kg/ha (R2), and 75 kg/ha (R3), along with a control group CK, making a total of 10 treatments applied in the field experiment.
