Abstract
The interaction of hen egg white lysozyme and block copolymers of poly(L–glutamic acid sodium salt) and polyethylene glycol (PGLU10–PEG and PGLU100–PEG) have been studied in an aqueous medium and at a water–air interface. Different physicochemical methods have been used: turbidimetry, tensiometry, fluorimetry, circular dichroism spectroscopy, electrophoretic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. The formation of mixed adsorption layers at the water–air interface has been observed at block copolymer : enzyme molar ratios of at most 2 : 1. In an aqueous medium, complexation of lysozyme with PGLU–PEG block copolymers leads to the formation of core–shell PGLU10–PEG : lysozyme complexes and PGLU100–PEG : lysozyme complexes with molar compositions of 1 : 1 or 2 : 1. The possibility of regulating the properties of the enzyme–block copolymer interaction products makes it possible to develop strategies for the production of antibacterial drugs.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
