Improving the environment for immobilized dehydrogenase enzymes by modifying Nafion with tetraalkylammonium bromides

Abstract

Recent research in our group has shown that mixture-casting Nafion with quaternary ammonium bromides can increase the electrochemical flux of redox couples through the membrane and allow for larger redox species to diffuse to the electrode surface. The research has also suggested that when these salts are cast with Nafion micellar pore size is changing. Therefore, it was proposed that the quaternary ammonium salts could be employed to tailor the structure of the Nafion membrane for immobilizing enzymes in the polymer. For cations with a high affinity for the sulfonic acid groups of Nafion, the modified structure of Nafion can also help to stabilize the enzyme and increase activity by providing a protective outer shell and an ideal chemical environment that resists a decrease in pH within the pore structure. This research examines the ability to immobilize dehydrogenase enzymes in Nafion that has been modified with quaternary ammonium bromides. Fluorescence assays, fluorescence microscopy, and cyclic voltammetric studies were employed to analyze the ability to immobilize an enzyme within the membrane, to determine the activity of the immobilized enzyme and to examine the transport of coenzyme within the membrane.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
