A non-leaching mediator may include a polymer having a polymeric backbone, and a plurality of phenothiazine groups bonded to the polymeric backbone. The plurality of phenothiazine groups may include at least one of a phenothiazine group having the general formula (IV): and salts thereof, where n is about 9 and “R” represents the polymeric backbone to which the phenothiazine group is bonded, and a phenothiazine group having the general formula (V): and salts thereof, where n is about 9 and “R” represents the polymeric backbone to which the phenothiazine group is bonded.

摘要:
Surface-crosslinked superabsorbent polymer (SAP) particles having a clay in the vicinity of the surfaces of the SAP particles a clay are disclosed. The clay is added to SAP particles during surface crosslinking to substantially reduce the generation, and recycling, of SAP fines, and to provide SAP particles having an improved acquisition rate of fluids and an improved permeability of a fluid through the swollen SAP particles. Diaper cores and absorbent articles containing the surface crosslinked SAP particles also are disclosed.

Provided is a method of fabricating a substrate having on a surface thereof two or more spatially-resolved regions, each with a defined amount or concentration of one of one or more chemical components, the method comprising: associating a chemical component with particles of 1 &mgr;m to 500 &mgr;m diameter; electrostatically depositing the particles on the appropriate regions; and if a said spatially-resolved region is to receive a second chemical component, repeating steps (a) and (b) for that chemical component and the appropriate regions.
摘要:
A method implemented in the form of a computer simulation code for evaluating the free energy of binding between polypeptide amino acid residues and one or more molecular fragment types is presented. The basis of the method is a novel weighted Metropolis Monte Carlo approach for sampling the grand canonical ensemble. By making use of the properties of the grand canonical ensemble, the affinity of fragments for binding in the vicinity of each protein residue can be efficiently computed. The binding volume associated to each fragment-residue pair is estimated on the basis of a simple proximity criteria, and a useful affinity mapping of the protein surface can be obtained in this way. The analysis of such data for various fragment types provides valuable information to help identify protein binding sites, as well as to identify key fragments used for building potential drug leads.

摘要:
Methods and systems for determining the affinity between polypeptide amino acid residues and one or more molecular fragments, and for using the affinity values to aid in drug design including a computer simulation which calculates the interaction energy between a polypeptide and at least one molecular fragment. An affinity value is then assigned to at least one fragment and residue pair if the fragment is in the vicinity of the residue. Affinity values are used to rank fragments, build ligands and determine binding sites.
