The concentration of MDA is an important part of the analysis of the redox status of tissues, which is important in the study of inflammatory reactions, for example, after various stressful effects, as well as in the study of aging. In normal practice, they calculate the concentration of MDA in a solution by its optical density at 532 nm, then these data are related with similar solutions of the tetramethoxypropane (TMP) reaction with known concentration. We have shown that in cases of submicromolar MDA content, fluctuations in the nonspecific background level of the optical density of solutions can be commensurate to the magnitude of the actual absorption signal of the resulting colored adduct. Solutions of biological tissue extracts, due to the additional content of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates, are characterized by turbidity, which distorts the absorption spectrum non-linearly. The second derivatives of the absorption spectra deprived of background scattering distortions and can be used for automatic software calculation of the pigment content. Obtaining correct derivatives is complicated by the need to smooth the original spectra. We used two smoothing methods: the moving average method and the Savitsky–Goley filter with a polynomial of the third degree. We compared the data obtained on the basis of measuring the optical densities of solutions at 532 nm with those based on the analysis of the second derivatives of their absorption spectra, and also on the basis of integral sums of the second derivatives in the range of 520-550 nm. The results of calculations using the second derivatives gave 2-5 times lower concentrations of MDA than those obtained from optical densities at the maximum absorption of the adduct. At the same time, the convergence of the data, especially when using integral sums of the second derivatives, turned out to be significantly better than for the zero order, and the resulting errors were 2-3 times smaller.","PeriodicalId":169374,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Biological Physics and Chemisrty","volume":"113 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141377671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The given model is a further development of already well-studied three-component systems and was previously demonstrated without a symbolic and graphical solution. Elements of the theory present a complete analytical algorithm that can potentially be applied to any system of DNA-specific mixtures of aromatic drugs; components that inhibit the deleterious effects of noxious agents that interfere with biologically relevant molecular interactions, or conversely, inhibitors of catalytic agents. Such analytical models are important in the context of designing new drugs to regulate their efficacy and targeting. For the purposes of this article, the fourth component of the system is considered to be specific to the interceptor/protector in a three-component system, acting as a regulator of the inhibitory activity of the third component, with any interaction with the other two components being completely ignored. A full graphical representation of the model is given only for the extreme cases where the affinity to the fourth component is either completely absent or infinite. The qualitative analysis of the graph of the real four-component system is carried out by tracking the proximity of the experimental points to one of the previously mentioned graphs.","PeriodicalId":169374,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Biological Physics and Chemisrty","volume":"4 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141379617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell size distribution was determined using a laser analyzer \"Laska-TM\" and a microscope with a camera. Based on a sample of 50 random cells, the mean diameter value was found. It is shown that in the accumulative mode of cultivation the cell size remains constant. The average cell diameter of Porphyridium cells ranged from 8.9 to 9.3 μm, and that of Tetraselmis from 6.8 to 7.4 μm. The result obtained is supported by literature data on cultivation of the microalga Chlorella protothecoides. The quasi-continuous regime was carried out in the exponential growth phase, when the culture density is low and the only limiting factor is the light flux intensity. It was experimentally found that the average cell diameter of both microalgae increased with increasing irradiance. It is shown that the values of average diameters obtained on the laser analyzer are overestimated than the results obtained using a microscope. The obtained data can serve as a basis for the development of growth models of the accumulative culture of microalgae. The constancy of the average cell size makes it possible to abandon complex distributed cell population models.","PeriodicalId":169374,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Biological Physics and Chemisrty","volume":"33 S117","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141377743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interaction between hypersound and cellular organelles was studied numerically and compared with biological experiments on seeds of spring soft wheat variety Ekada 70, in particular on the effect of this effect on their growth. hypersonic irradiation affects the biometric parameters of spring soft wheat, seed weight and yield. In this case, the time of exposure to this irradiation is of great importance. The smallest plant height in the variant with seed irradiation for \u000030 minutes was 71 s, and the productive bushiness was 1.8. The indices of general bushiness and the average number of normally developed stems producing grain per plant were also the best in the variant with exposure to seed material irradiation for 100 seconds, the worst in the variant of 30 minutes. From this we can conclude that hypersonic irradiation affects the biometric parameters of spring soft wheat, seed weight and yield. In this case, the time of exposure to this irradiation is of great importance. The data obtained as a result of modeling show that the water-glass interface is a channel for energy transfer from a source of hypersonic waves to a biological object.","PeriodicalId":169374,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Biological Physics and Chemisrty","volume":"98 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141377151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This makes it possible to study the patterns of survival of transgenic microorganisms under certain environmental conditions, taking into account various characteristics of transgenic strains, for example, the stability of plasmids in new cells, the “population cost” of maintaining conjugative and non-conjugative plasmids, the efficiency of expression of genes cloned on plasmids, and others. The \"plasmid paradox\" lies in the fact that although the presence of plasmids containing cloned genes usually reduces the specific growth rate of transgenic bacteria, but with prolonged growth of bacteria under non-selective conditions (\"experimental evolution\", 20-30 or more generations of the original form without antibiotics) “cost of fitness” is reduced by an order of magnitude or two. An analysis of the experimental results leads to the conclusion that this is due to a change in the difference in the growth rates of plasmid and plasmid-free cells, with a change in the probability of formation of plasmid-free cells, the copy number of plasmids, and the expression of cloned genes in cells of transgenic bacteria under various environmental conditions.","PeriodicalId":169374,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Biological Physics and Chemisrty","volume":"25 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141379819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The delivery of antitumor drugs using nanoparticles is being discussed. Immobilization of drugs on nanocarriers makes it possible to increase their bioavailability. Various graphene derivatives - graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) - are being tested as carriers for drug delivery. There are several approaches for targeted drug delivery in oncology. The first, simple one is the attachment of both low– and high-molecular preparation to the surface of the carrier directly. The drug doxorubicin is firmly bound to surface of graphene oxide and is released only in acidic environment of tumor. The second, more complex method is to attach to surface of carrier not only active substance, but also guiding molecules - ligands. Sometimes ligand itself can be a drug at the same time. Polygraphene (PG) is an original modified analogue of thermally split graphite, obtained in the form of new form of expanded graphite, after repeated chemical modification and thermal activation, it is reduced to the characteristics of a layered material with stacks of carbon monolayers of smaller multiplicity (from 5 to 50), up to single sheets of graphene. The results of tests of PG as an effective basis for the immobilization of enzymes are presented, in particular, on the example of antitumor enzyme L-lysine-α-oxidase. These data indicate prospects of possible biomedical use of PG in oncology, namely, in treatment of intestinal cancer.

For nanostructures based on dileucine of left chirality L-LL, the existing experimental data make it possible to isolate from crystallographic structures molecular nanostructures of helical nanotubes that have right chirality D, which corresponds to the law of chirality change upon transition to the next level of self-organization. Model helical structures of nanotubes based on dileucine of right chirality D-LL were also constructed, for which there are no experimental data. Calculations of chirality by the method of mixed vector-scalar product of dipole moments of dipeptides showed that the law of changing the type of chirality is also valid for model helical nanotubes based on the D-LL.
