The sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) shows conserved suppression of expression in vertebrate brains, suggesting brain-specific toxicity. Results: ␣2-8-Linked Neu5Gc incorporated into the neural glycan polysialic acid (polySia) resists sialidase breakdown through conformational effects. Conclusion: Neu5Gc in brain would prevent rapid turnover of surface polySia. Significance: This mechanism potentially underlies the evolutionary suppression of Neu5Gc expression in vertebrate brains.

Filmes em multicamadas de nanopartículas de ouro e prata foram utilizados para o desenvolvimento de um sensor plasmônico para detecção de ligações entre moléculas orgânicas e/ou com atividade biológicas. A sensibilidade a eventos de ligação é relacionada a deslocamentos energéticos da ressonância de plasmon de superfície nos filmes de nanopartículas metálicas. Quando aplicado como sensor de bulk (sensibilidade às mudanças no índice de refração do meio em contato com a superfície do metal), a sensibilidade foi ca. 220 ± 33 nm RIU-1 para filmes de nanopartículas de ouro e 140 ± 10 nm RIU-1 para filmes de nanopartículas de prata. Na aplicação como sensor de superfície (sensibilidade às mudanças no índice de refração efetivo, devido às adsorções na superfície do metal) para detecção de moléculas biológicas, o sensor mostrou-se eficiente na detecção da proteína estreptavidina, através da sua interação por bioafinidade com biotina. As principais vantagens relacionadas com o biossensor pla...
