  • a survey of structure property relationships of surfaces that resist the adsorption of protein
    Langmuir, 2001
    Co-Authors: Emanuele Ostuni, Robe G Chapma, Erik R Holmli, And Shuichi Takayama, George M Whitesides
    Abstract:

    This paper describes the use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to determine the characteristics of functional groups that give surfaces the ability to resist the nonspecific adsorption of proteins from solution. Mixed SAMs presenting different functional groups were prepared for screening using a synthetic protocol based on the reaction of organic amines with a SAM terminated by interchain Carboxylic Anhydride groups. Surfaces that presented derivatives of oligo(sarcosine), N-acetylpiperazine, and permethylated sorbitol groups were particularly effective in resisting the adsorption of proteins. Incorporation of these groups into single-component SAMs resulted in surfaces that are comparable to (but slightly less good than) single-component SAMs that present oligo(ethylene glycol) in their ability to resist the adsorption of proteins. In the group of surfaces examined, those that resisted the adsorption of proteins had the following properties:  they were ...

  • Preparation of Mixed Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) That Resist Adsorption of Proteins Using the Reaction of Amines with a SAM That Presents Interchain Carboxylic Anhydride Groups
    Langmuir, 2000
    Co-Authors: Robert Chapman, Emanuele Ostuni, And Lin Yan, George M Whitesides
    Abstract:

    This paper describes a procedure for preparing mixed self-assembled monolayers (mixed SAMs) on gold that resist the nonspecific adsorption of proteins from solution. This method was tested using α-amino derivatives of ω-hydroxy- and ω-methoxy-oligo(ethylene glycols):  H2N(CH2CH2O)nCH3 and H2N(CH2CH2O)nH (n = 3, 6). Mixed SAMs were prepared by allowing these amines to react with a SAM presenting interchain Carboxylic Anhydride groups. The resistance of the resulting surfaces to adsorption of several proteinscarbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1), ribonuclease A (EC 3.1.27.5), lysozyme (EC 3.2.1.17), and fibrinogenwas examined using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. These mixed SAMs resist the nonspecific adsorption of proteins approximately as effectively as single-component SAMs prepared using the conventional method involving chemisorption of oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated alkanethiols on gold.

  • patterning thin films of poly ethylene imine on a reactive sam using microcontact printing
    Langmuir, 1999
    Co-Authors: Wilhelm T S Huck, And Xiaomei Zhao, George M Whitesides
    Abstract:

    This paper describes the patterning of poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) on a surface into structures having submicron edge resolution. This procedure consists of three steps:  (1) formation of a reactive self-assembled monolayer (SAM) terminating in interchain Carboxylic Anhydride groups on gold and silver; (2) patterning of this SAM by microcontact printing (μCP) using a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamp inked with PEI (this polymer contains primary and secondary amines that are reactive toward the Anhydride groups); (3) hydrolysis of the unreacted Anhydride groups with base and removal of noncovalently bound PEI. The patterned thin films of PEI are attached covalently to the SAM by amide bonds. The pendant, unreacted primary and secondary amines of the attached PEI can be used as reactive nucleophilic groups in further steps of chemical modification. This type of postmodification has been illustrated by allowing the amine groups of the covalently attached PEI to react with perfluorooctanoyl chloride, palmit...

  • formation and reaction of interchain Carboxylic Anhydride groups on self assembled monolayers on gold
    Langmuir, 1997
    Co-Authors: Lin Yan, Christian Marzolin, And Andreas Terfort, George M Whitesides
    Abstract:

    This paper demonstrates a new method for the synthesis of mixed self-assembled monolayers (mixed SAMs) by reaction of a reactive intermediatean interchain Carboxylic Anhydridewith alkylamines. The interchain Anhydride was prepared in high yield from a SAM of 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (HS(CH2)15COOH) on gold by treatment with trifluoroacetic Anhydride. Alkylamines reacted cleanly with the interchain Anhydride to generate a mixed SAM, which comprised a mixture of acids and amides in approximately 1:1 ratio on the surface. The SAMs of the interchain Anhydride and the mixed SAM were characterized using polarized infrared external reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle, and ellipsometry. Control of the wettability of the SAMs was demonstrated by allowing the interchain Anhydride to react with alkylamines having different alkyl groups; this model system gave wetting data consistent with earlier studies of mixed monolayers and verified the ability of this method to manipulat...

  • lipase catalyzed ring opening polymerization of the o Carboxylic Anhydride derived from lactic acid
    Biomacromolecules, 2009
    Co-Authors: Colin Bonduelle, Blanca Martinvaca, Didier Bourissou
    Abstract:

    Both lipase PS and Novozym 435 promote the ring-opening polymerization of lacOCA, the O-Carboxylic Anhydride derived from lactic acid. Accordingly, PLA of relatively high molecular weights (Mn up to 38400 g/mol) and low polydispersities (Mw/Mn < 1.4) are obtained in high yields within a few hours at 80 °C. Slight preference for l-lacOCA over d-lacOCA is observed, and with Novozym 435, the molecular weight of the obtained PLA can be controlled by varying the lipase loading.

  • Monomer versus alcohol activation in the 4-dimethylaminopyridine-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of lactide and lactic O-Carboxylic Anhydride.
    Chemistry (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse Germany), 2008
    Co-Authors: Colin Bonduelle, Blanca Martin-vaca, Fernando P. Cossío, Didier Bourissou
    Abstract:

    Model reactions for the 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP)-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of lactide and the corresponding lactic O-Carboxylic Anhydride (lacOCA) have been studied computationally at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. The solvent effect of dichloromethane was taken into account through PCM/SCRF single-point calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. In marked contrast with that predicted for the reaction of alcohols with acetic Anhydride, the mechanism in which nucleophilic activation of the monomer involving acylpyridinium intermediates was found to be energetically less favorable than the base activation of the alcohol through hydrogen bonding. The concerted pathway for the ring-opening of lactide and lacOCA was shown to compete with the traditional stepwise mechanism involving tetrahedral intermediates. Furthermore, DMAP is proposed to act as a bifunctional catalyst through its basic nitrogen center and an acidic ortho-hydrogen atom.
