Maltodextrin-Modified Magnetic Microspheres for Selective Enrichment of Maltose Binding Proteins

Abstract

In this work, maltodextrin-modified magnetic microspheres Fe3O4@SiO2-Maltodextrin (Fe3O4@SiO2-MD) with uniform size and fine morphology were synthesized through a facile and low-cost method. As the maltodextrins on the surface of microspheres were combined with maltose binding proteins (MBP), the magnetic microspheres could be applied to enriching standard MBP fused proteins. Then, the application of Fe3O4@SiO2-MD in one-step purification and immobilization of MBP fused proteins was demonstrated. For the model protein we examined, Fe3O4@SiO2-MD showed excellent binding selectivity and capacity against other Escherichia coli proteins in the crude cell lysate. Additionally, the maltodextrin-modified magnetic microspheres can be recycled for several times without significant loss of binding capacity.

Targeted delivery and pH-responsive release of stereoisomeric anti-cancer drugs using β-cyclodextrin assemblied Fe3O4 nanoparticles

“…The increasing tendency of hydrodynamic size is fit well with the data of TEM. While the hydrodynamic size values are larger than that of the TEM measurements, which is attributable to the hydrate layer on the nanoparticles surface [29]. TEM of MNPs (a) and β-CD-MNPs (b)…”

Magnetic targeted nanoparticles based on β-cyclodextrin and chitosan for hydrophobic drug delivery and a study of their mechanism

“…The larger hydrodynamic size of CD-SMNPs and CS-CD-SMNPs was because of the formation of a hydrate layer between organic substances on the microsphere surface. 27,31 Furthermore, the CS-CD-SMNPs showed a better colloidal stability than CD-SMNPs as shown by their values in the PI. The pK a of CS was 6.2-7, 14 indicating that the amino groups were deprotonated at biological pH conditions.…”

Facile preparation of multifunctional superparamagnetic PHBV microspheres containing SPIONs for biomedical applications

“…Magnetic polymer microspheres have attracted increasing attention and are being widely used in biomedical fields such as drug delivery 1 2 3 4 , magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 2 3 4 5 6 , bio-separation 7 8 , enzyme immobilization 9 , hyperthermia therapy 10 as well as water treatment 11 . Particularly, magnetic polymer microspheres have the advantage of being readily multifunctional, such as enabling the targeted drug delivery procedure being monitored by MRI 2 3 12 .…”
