	abstract = {The economics of affinity-tagging technologies, particularly at preparative scales, depends in part on the cost and efficiency of the bioprocessing step used to remove the affinity tag and obtain the final purified product (Lowe et al., J Biochem Biophys Methods. 2001,49:561-574). When CBM9, the family 9 cellulose binding module from Thermotoga maritima, serves as the affinity tag, the overall efficiency of tag removal is a function of the choice of processing enzyme and the local structure of the cleavage site, most notably the linker sequence flanking the bioprocessing recognition site on the tag side. A novel spectroscopic method is reported and used to rapidly and accurately measure CBM9 fusion-tag bioprocessing kinetics and their dependence on the choice of linker sequence. The assay monitors energy transfer between a lanthanide-based donor bound to the CBM9 tag and an acceptor fluorophore presented on the tat-get protein or peptide. Enzyme-catalyzed cleavage of the fusion tag terminates this resonance energy transfer, resulting in a change in fluorescence intensity that can be monitored to quantify substrate concentration over time. The assay is simple, fast and accurate, providing k(cat)/K-M values that contain standard errors of less than 3\%. As a result, both substantial and subtle differences in bioprocessing kinetics can be measured and used to guide bioproduct design. (C) 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

	abstract = {A new potentially multidentate hexaprotic ligand H-6[TETA-(PO)(2)] has been prepared by reaction of ethylenediamine-N,N{\textquoteright}-diacetic acid (EDDA), paraformaldehyde, and phosphinic acid; its coordination properties with three lanthanide ions (La3+, Gd3+, and Lu3+) have been explored. The structures of the complexes were studied in aqueous solution by potentiometric pH titrations and by P-31 NMR spectroscopy. Four acidity constants were determined potentiometrically in the range 2.5 < pH < 14. The four measured pK(a) values can be divided into two groups, and within each group the initial deprotonation was found to have little effect on the second. Variable temperature 31P and P-31{H-1} EXSY NMR spectra showed that, for [Lu(TETA-(PO)(2))](3-), the two phosphorus atoms exist in different chemical environments and undergo an exchange process which is very fast on the NMR time scale at room temperature. This result is consistent with one of the phosphinate residues coordinating the metal ion and exchanging with a free analogue. In the case of [La(TETA-(PO)(2))](3-), only one temperature invariant signal is observed in P-31 NMR spectra; it corresponds to both phosphinate residues remaining uncoordinated to La3+. The stability of [Ln-(TETA-(PO)(2))](3-) has an order of La3+ > Gd3+ > Lu3+. The coordination of one phosphinate residue to Lu3+ brings the metal ion closer to the plane of four nitrogens and farther from the four carboxylate arms, resulting in [Lu(TETA-(PO)(2))](3-) having a lower stability than the corresponding La3+ and Gd3+ complexes. A pM-pH distribution diagram showed that introducing two phosphinate groups into TETA renders [Gd(TETA-(PO)(2))](3-) more stable than [Gd(TETA)](-). The selectivity factor of the ligand for Gd3+ vs Ca2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ has been calculated, and the hydration number for [Dy(TETA-(PO)(2))](3-) has been measured by O-17 NMR spectroscopy to be zero.},

	abstract = {X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the interfacial chemistries occurring in a prototype two-layer polymer light-emitting diode that had been fabricated from PPV and Nafion with ion-exchanged Ru(bpy)(3)(2 +) Magnesium and indium tin oxide (ITO) were used as electrodes, and XPS observations were made as the different layers were added sequentially. Specifically, Mg was deposited on a layer of Nafion with incorporated Ru(bpy)(3)(2 +), and this was itself deposited on PPV-coated ITO. The morphology of Nafion, which is dictated by the strongly hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups that compose it, is indicated to rearrange with the incorporation of Ru(bpy)(3)(2 +) this rearrangement appears reinforced when a thin film is deposited on PPV. The Mg deposition results in substantial changes in XPS spectra, in part due to a direct interaction with the fluorocarbon backbone of Nation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.},
