ABSTRACT
Biomacromolecules participate in various kinds of vital processes. Observing and analyzing their structural dynamic and the dynamic processes of intermolecular interaction at molecular level is important for understanding the action mechanism. Since its advent, single molecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer (SM-FRET) has demonstrated its great potential in studying the conformational change and interaction process of biomacromolecules, and a series of new mechanisms have been revealed. This review summarized recent progresses of SM-FRET in studying protein structural dynamic, nucleic acid structural dynamic, protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions.
ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the stabilities and related mechanism of sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin liposomes loaded with asparaginase(ASDL).Methods Reverse evaporating method was used for the preparation of ASDL,and the acid-base stability,thermal stability,antitrypsin stability,plasma stability and storage stability of ASDL were tested.Moreover,fluorescence spectrum method was utilized to explore the stability enhancement mechanisms of ASDL.Results The results of stability showed that the acid-base stability,thermal stability,antitrypsin stability,plasma stability and storage stability of ASDL were all superior to asparaginase.Fluorescence experiment results indicated that the improved characteristics of ASDL might be related to the changes of the surrounding microenvironment of fluorescent chromophore or the structure of hydrophobic.Conclusion ASDL can effectively protect asparaginase from the external environment,such as hydrolase,pH,temperature and so on,to improve the stabilities of asparaginase.
ABSTRACT
Affinity chromatography (AC)is a type of liquid chromatography that makes use of biological-like interactions for separation and specific analysis of bioactive components. It has been widely used as a high-throughput screening method for the separation,screening and purification of the target molecules from complex samples with advantages such as high selectivity and high recovery efficiency.This article summarizes the biological effects of affinity chromatography, molecular imprinting chromatography, and dye ligands affinity chromatography.The review also encompasses the application of AC in the separation of chiral drugs,screening of active components,purification of target protein,and mechanism of the drug-protein interaction.Moreover,the prospects of its applications are also discussed.

ABSTRACT
Currently,with the rapid development of drug delivery technologies,more and more efforts are taken into the efficient therapies for various diseases by delivering biologically-active macromolecules into the target cells directly.Although a certain number of positive treatment results were obtained from the therapies by using the biomacromolecules to cure some diseases,the microenvironment around the target cell still has a great influence on the final treatment effect.Since many diseases and injuries interfere the normal architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM),the cell adhesion to ECM and the subsequent cellular activities,the normal microenvironment of the cell plays a critical role in maintaining body balance,tissue regeneration and repair.Given these points,this paper reviews the effects of the cellular microenvironment constructed by ECM on the efficacy of bioactive macromolecules,and provides a theoretical basis for future drug design and synthesis of pharmaceuticals.
