Collagen-glycosaminoglycan (C-GAG) sponges are commonly utilized as a substitute for the extracellular matrix of dermal tissue. Cultured skin substitutes (CSS) were assessed, after fabrication using sponges cross-linked with 1-ethyl-3-3-dimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) at 0, 1, 5, or 50 mm, for development

Pro-Hyp-Gly is a characteristic amino acid sequence found in fibrous collagens, and (Pro-Hyp-Gly)(10), which has been widely used as a collagen-model peptide, forms a stable triple-helical structure. Here, we synthesized polypeptides consisting of the Pro-Hyp-Gly sequence by direct poly-condensation of

Structural changes induced by Joule temperature jumps (T-jumps) in frog muscle fibers were monitored using time-resolved x-ray diffraction. Experiments made use of single, permeabilized fibers that were fully activated after slight cross-linking with 1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide to preserve their structural order. After

The 90 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90) is one of the major stress proteins whose overall structure remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the influence of divalent cations Mg(2+) and Ca(2+) on the hydrodynamic properties and quaternary structure of Hsp90.

Questions

  1. Is it possible to have EDC conjugated with a fluorophore such that it can still target Carboxyl groups on the cellular proteins

    1 answer
    1. To target a carboxyl group on cellular proteins, the carbodiimide group of EDC must be unbound so the carbonyl from the carboxylic acid can initiate an attack. This interaction results in the formation of an O-acylisourea intermediate that can react with amines, with an urea by-product being released as a part of the process. Should a fluorophore be pre-conjugated to EDC, it is likely to be released as this by-product and thus would not attach to the carboxyl groups of the cells.
