Polyadenylate-binding activity can be detected in eluates from sodium dodecyl sulfate gels by a nitrocellulose filter-binding assay. Nuclear extracts from rat liver show a single peak of binding activity at 50 to 55 kilodaltons; cytoplasmic extracts show a single peak at 70 to 80 kilodaltons, corresponding to a 75-kilodalton protein previously described. Similar results are obtained with yeast and mouse fibroblasts, indicating a high degree of conservation of both nuclear and cytoplasmic polyadenylate-binding proteins. The activity from rat liver nuclei has been purified 125-fold on the basis of specific binding to polyadenylate and shows two main bands in sodium dodecyl sulfate gels at 53 and 55 kilodaltons.

The conformation of a series of zero-generation polyamidoamine dendrimers end-labeled with four 1-pyrene-butyroyl, -hexanoyl, -octanoyl, -decanoyl, and -dodecanoyl derivatives, referred to as the PyCX-PAMAM-G0 samples with = 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12, respectively, was characterized in ,-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and aqueous solutions of 50 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or 50 mM dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). The conformation of the PyCX-PAMAM-G0 samples was determined from the global model-free analysis (MFA) of the fluorescence decays, which yielded the average rate constant (⟨⟩) for pyrene excimer formation (PEF) between an excited and a ground-state pyrenyl labels, with ⟨⟩ being proportional to the local concentration ([Py]) of the pyrenyl labels within the macromolecular volume; ⟨⟩-vs-[Py] plots yielded straight lines passing through the origin in DMF and DMSO, demonstrating that the internal segments of the dendrimers obeyed Gaussian statistics in these two solvents. In aqueous surfactant solutions, the hydrophobic pyrenyl labels induced the interactions of the PyCX-PAMAM-G0 dendrimers with the SDS and DTAB micelles.

Ketamine HCl, an FDA-approved therapeutic, is administered through various routes, including intranasal delivery. Administering an adequate therapeutic dose of intranasal ketamine HCl is challenging due to the limited volume that can be delivered intranasally given the current commercially available concentrations. This study investigates solubilizing strategies to enhance the aqueous solubility of ketamine HCl for intranasal administration.

Recent advancements in polymer materials have enabled the synthesis of bio-based monomers from renewable resources, promoting sustainable alternatives to fossil-based materials. This study presents a novel zwitterionic surfactant, SF, derived from 10-undecenoic acid obtained from castor oil through a four-step reaction, achieving a yield of 78%. SF has a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 1235 mg/L, slightly higher than the commercial anionic surfactant Rhodacal DS-4 (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate), and effectively stabilizes monomer droplets, leading to excellent conversion and stable latex formation.

Interaction of a novel dihydroxy dibenzoazacrown (HDTC) with various surfactants of different charges, for example, anionic (sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS), cationic (dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide, DTAB), cationic gemini (butanediyl-1,4-bis(dimethylcetylammonium bromide), 16-4-16), ionic liquid (1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, CMImCl), and nonionic (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate, Tween-60), has been investigated at a widespread range of surfactant concentrations (including premicellar, micellar, and postmicellar regime) in 15% (v/v) EtOH medium at room temperature. Several experimental techniques, viz., tensiometry, UV-vis spectroscopy, and steady-state fluorimetry, are implemented to explicate these interactions.
