Cholesterol modification of synthetic and biological polymers is achieved using of thiocholesterol (TC) and thiol-disulfide exchange. TC is reacted with Ellman's reagent to produce a mixed disulfide (TC-ER) which is activated towards thiol-disulfide exchange. TC-ER is used to obtain an inclusion complex with methyl-β-cyclodextrin, which is then employed to achieve cholesterol functionalization of a model peptide, synthetic polymers, and physical hydrogels based on poly(vinyl alcohol). It is anticipated that the established techniques will significantly broaden the use of cholesterol in bio- and nanotechnology and specifically biomedicine.

Le nmi5ro atombque du pxojectile allait de 2 a 40, et 116mission optique a 6t6 enregistr6 de I00 A 2 1000 A 2 l'aide d'un spectrometre 2 incidence rasante. Les populations des 6tats excitgs ant 6tg Btudi6es en fonction de l'bnergie du projectile. On compare les rLsultats de l'excitation des niveaux 3s I P et 3s 3p dans Ne I avec les mesures de sections efficaces de collision ~e + -Ne. Une anomalie du rapport singulet 2 triplet a 6tC observCe dans les niveaux 2 ~2 ~5 'P et 2 ~2 ~5 3~ de Ne III pour certains projectiles : r = 5.5 et 0.4 pour Be+ -Ne et ~e + -Ne B 100 KeV. La structure oscillante de la variation en fonction du nurnero atomique du projectile pourrait s'expliquer dans le cadre du modsle des orbitales mol6culaires mGme P grande Cnergie.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
