Geometries, stabilities, electronic properties and NMR-shielding of cucurbit[6]uril–spermine host-ligand complexes are investigated with DFT calculations and compared to experimental results. Cucurbit[6]uril and spermine can form complexes with two different minimum energy geometries and corresponding characteristic differences in NMR shielding. The energetically preferred complex geometry has a perfect inversion symmetry and its proton NMR shielding agrees very well with experimental results. The cucurbit[6]uril host molecule shows a distinct geometrical flexibility in ligand binding which allows an induced fit of the spermine ligand. The energetic barrier for the rotation of spermine in the favourable complex is approximated to be in the order of a few kilocalories per mole.
Streptavidin is a 58 kDa tetrameric protein with the highest known affinity to biotin with a wide range of applications in bionanotechnology and molecular biology. Dissolved streptavidin is stable at a broad range of temperature, pH, proteolytic enzymes and exhibits low non‐specific binding. In this study, a streptavidin monolayer was assembled directly on a biotinylated TiO2‐surface to investigate its stability against proteolytic digestion and its suppression of initial bacterial adsorption of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Streptococcus intermedius. In contrast to nonmodified TiO2 surfaces, streptavidin‐coated substrates showed only a negligible non‐specific protein adsorption at physiological protein concentrations as well as a significantly reduced bacterial adhesion. The antiadhesive properties were demonstrated to be the main reason for the suppression of bacterial adhesion, which makes this approach a promising option for future surface biofunctionalization applications.
The wireless data logger system “Cor/log® BAN BT” (CL) allows seamless 24/7 monitoring of relevant vital sign parameters. CL covers the entire period of acute point of care inside the hospital and the recovery period, when first mobility is achieved and when the patient is released into an ambulatory or homecare environment. The CL records the relevant vital signs such as ECG, respiration, pulse oximetry with plethysmogram and movement. The vital data collected with the CL data logger is saved on a memory card for further analysis and is simultaneously transmitted in real-time to a telemedicine server via a smartphone or tablet. The smartphone also provides GPS location information. In addition Cor/log View, an Android Application for viewing recorded vital sign data originating from the CL, was developed. CL has also a connector to the generic MedM health cloud. MedM is a generic patient data management system (PDMS) consisting of a cloud portal and a mobile health app. The app runs on Android, iOS and Windows. The app can connects wirelessly to the CL physiologic monitor and stores the vital signs in the cloud.
