The Use of Thin Film Dialysis and High Resolution NMR to Study Conformation and Association Phenomena... [Pg.292]

For some years an objective of this laboratory has been the development of methods for isolating and characterizing the last-mentioned size of natural product. Countercurrent distribution has been a chief tool but more recently we have been developing a membrane-diffusion method which we have called thin-film dialysis (1). It has considerable potential for studying molecular size, conformation, molecular interactions, and other solution behavior, particularly when combined with the rapidly developing possibilities suggested by high resolution NMR. [Pg.293]

With these membranes we were able to show that in thin-film dialysis neither the escape rate into the diffusate nor diffusion across the membrane itself is the controlling rate expressed by the escape plot. Therefore the escape plot is a true measure of the probability of the solute finding its way into the membrane. It was suggested 15 years ago (24) that thin-film dialysis could be performed in such a way that it would be a sensitive measure of diffusional size. This has since been confirmed with many solutes (25) at a given temperature. [Pg.295]

These findings strengthen our confidence in the reliability of the thin-film dialysis method for determining diffusional size provided it is carried out with the precautions and care now shown experimentally to be required. It then becomes a direct measure of the probability of a solute finding its way into a pore from the solution side. Thus it can be a measure of true diffusional size, and the basis of the sensitivity or selectivity is a function of the limiting pore size relative to the diffusional size of the solute molecule. The selectivity or probability is dictated by the relationship... [Pg.296]

Thin-film dialysis can thus be considered as a way to estimate Stokes radius with a precision approximating 3% (24) when suitable models of known dimensions are available for comparison. In addition to this it offers an excellent approach to the study of molecular interactions, selfassociation, and binding (29, 30). It therefore is excellent for supplementing the type of information which can be derived from high-resolu-tion NMR study which in many cases together with model building and the restrictions of steric hindrance can reveal the precise positions certain atoms in a molecule occupy in space relative to each other. Many times however with NMR, a single unique position cannot be extracted from the data but instead only several possibilities. Here supplementary knowl-... [Pg.296]

Regardless of how much improvement can be made in NMR techniques, conformation problems will always require the support of other techniques such as x-ray diffraction, CD, ORD, UV, proton exchange, thin-film dialysis, model building, and energy-minimization calculations. [Pg.300]

In this short review it is not possible to cover more than a bare outline of the possibilities presented by only two approaches to the study of. conformation. These were chosen because of our own current interest and because they supplement each other well. From the practical standpoint high-resolution NMR is a very expensive and intricate approach while thin-film dialysis is very simple and inexpensive. [Pg.300]

It was postulated from the comparative data in Tables I and II and other observations that angiotensin had a definite compact conformational structure even though it is a linear peptide and should be a random coil. Tritium-exchange studies (39), CD (40), and NMR evidence (41, 42) now give support to this view. NMR studies with angiotensin, oxytocin, and vasopressin thus far have not indicated conformational restriction on the benzene rings, but the thin-film dialysis data are inconsistent with any conformation in which these bulky groups are extended from the otherwise compact conformation. [Pg.301]

When classifying chemical products, Seider et al. [3] identify three categories (1) basic chemicals (commodity and specialty chemicals, bio-materials, and polymeric materials) (2) industrial chemicals (films, fibers, paper,. ..) and (3) configured consumer products (dialysis devices, post-it notes, transparencies, drug delivery patches,. ..). In the manufacture of epitaxial silicon wafers, a thin film of crystalline silicon is often deposited on a polished crystalline silicon... [Pg.289]

Bibette has used this method to study the effect of osmotic pressure on the stability of thin films in concentrated o/w emulsions [96], by means of an osmotic stress technique. The emulsion is contained in a dialysis bag, which is immersed in an aqueous solution of surfactant and dextran, a water-soluble polymer. The bag is permeable to water and surfactant, but impermeable to oil and polymer. The presence of the polymer causes water to be drawn out of the emulsion, increasing the phase volume ratio and the deformation of the dispersed droplets (Fig. 10). [Pg.182]

Membranes are thin polymeric films that may permit the faster diffusion of some molecules than of others. Thin films of polymers are widely used for the separation of gases and for liquid-phase separations (dialysis). Because of the ease of property tuning, polyphosphazenes are of great interest for these types of applications, although only a few examples have yet been investigated. [Pg.113]

Insoluble polymers or polymers with a low rate of solution are used more to form thin films, as film-coating materials, surgical dressings or membranes for dialysis or filtration or to form matrices for enveloping dmgs to control their release properties or simply as packaging materials. [Pg.281]

As solute is removed from ihe feed-side membrane-solution interface by dialysis, the layer is depleted and its concentration must he restored from the bulk solution. In laminar flow, which is usual In smallbore hollow-fiber and thin-film plate-and-frame devices, there is no convection and repletion of the interfacial layer is solely by diffusion from the bulk solution. As such diffusion occurs, the concentration gradient from the bulk solution to the imeriacial layer decmases, Tims, the rate of restoration of the inierfacia solute concentration is a fuactlon of the solute size, the transmembrane flux, and the rate of solute supply, that is, the axial feed flow rate. [Pg.960]

The membrane can be a solid, a liquid, or a gel, and the bulk phases can be liquid, gas, or vapor. Membranes can be classified according to their structures. Homogeneous or symmetric membranes each have a structure that is the same across the thickness of the membrane. These membranes can be porous or have a rather dense uniform structure. Heterogeneous or asymmetric membranes can be categorized into three basic structures (1) integrally skinned asymmetric membrane with a porous skin layer, (2) integrally skinned asymmetric membrane with a dense skin layer, and (3) thin film composite membranes [13]. Porous asymmetric membranes are made by the phase inversion process [14,15] and are applied in dialysis, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration, whereas integrally skinned asymmetric membranes with a dense skin layer are applied in reverse osmosis and gas separation applications. [Pg.3]

CA films by using the phase inversion process. These CA films were cast from solvent/nonsolvent solutions to yield size exclusion membranes consisting of a thin permselective outer layer and a more porous sublayer. These membranes permitted the rapid permeation of a 1500-dalton poly (ethylene glycol) ester of ferrocene however the reproducibility of results presents a problem with these CA mem-branes. Christie et demonstrated that thin films of plasticized polyvinylchloride (PVC), normally used for potentiometric ion-selective electrode applications, applied to electrodes over a polycarbonate dialysis membrane offered improved selectivity ratios for the amperometric detection of phenolic compounds and H2O2 in the presence of the common biological interferents, ascorbic acid and uric acid, over those observed at the dialysis membrane alone or at a composite dialysis/membrane. [Pg.281]

The main problem in membrane processes, especially for UF and MF separations, is the decrease of permeate flux caused by concentration polarization and fouling, whereas other membrane processes such as gas separation and pervaporation are less affected. Different approaches have been studied to reduce fouling. Hybrid systems using different types of membrane operations (e.g., distillation, dialysis, NF, pervaporation, and osmosis) prevent microbial fouling, offering a strong potential for the use of new types of thin-film composite membranes. [Pg.614]
