Microcalorimetric adsorptions of water and benzene showed that the HS-C was highly hydrophilic without the lipophilicity, while the H-PRC exhibited both the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity. Thus, the HS-C was well dispersed in aqueous solution and difficult to separate from it. On the other hand, the H-PRC was highly active, more active than the acidic resin （D008） and sulfuric acid, for the synthesis of DMM in aqueous solution. The H-PRC was also highly active, more active than the HS-C, for the etherification of isopentene with methanol to produce TAME in toluene solution, probably owing to its amphiphilic surface property as well as its strong surface acidity as measured by the microcalorirnetric adsorption of NH3.展开更多

Hydrophilic materials pave the way to solve the limit of low enrichment capacity and poor selectivity. The present study is the first attempt to combine chitosan(CS) and L-cysteine(L-Cys) to design a novel hydrophilic material focusing on glycopeptide enrichment. CS containing a large number of hydrophilic amino and hydroxyl groups has unique chemical properties, which makes it a very attractive biomaterial for glycopeptide enrichment. The excellent hydrophilicity of zwitterionic molecule L-Cys inspires the idea of anchoring L-Cys onto CS to design a novel hydrophilic material(named as Fe_(3)O_(4)@CS@Au-L-Cys) for the capture of low abundance glycopeptides. To be specific, Au nanoparticles(Au NPs) was introduced into CS-coated Fe_(3)O_(4)via electrostatic interaction and served as bridges to anchor L-Cys onto the surface of CS through strong Au-S bond interaction. The prepared Fe_(3)O_(4)@CS@AuL-Cys exhibited strong affinity, low detection limit(0.5 fmol/μL HRP), high selectivity(HRP/BSA with a molar ratio of 1:1000) for glycopeptides. Moreover, successful application of glycopeptide enrichment in human serum and saliva by Fe_(3)O_(4)@CS@Au-L-Cys was achieved. A satisfactory data set indicates that Fe_(3)O_(4)@CS@Au-L-Cys has promising potential in the application of glycopeptide enrichment in real complex bio-samples and for related glycoproteome research.展开更多
