Abstract:
Summary The modulating effect of ultrasound treatments at varying powers and times on the structural and functional properties of black bean protein isolate (BBPI) was investigated. Compared with native BBPI, low‐power (150 W) and medium‐power (300 W) ultrasound treatments increased the solubility, foaming and emulsifying properties of BBPI, especially at 300 W, 24 min. This effect arises predominantly due to increased exposure of hydrophobic groups, which serve to increase the interactions between the protein and water molecules. Additionally, an increase in the protein surface activity improved the absorption of protein molecules at the oil–water and air–water interfaces. Rheology data showed that increased hydrophobic and hydrogen‐bonding interactions improved the water‐holding capacity of BBPI gels following ultrasound treatment. However, high‐power (450 W) ultrasound treatment weakened the functional properties of BBPI, and this was likely due to the formation of macromolecular BBPI aggregates. Overall, this study indicates that ultrasound treatment could be a promising approach for modulating other plant protein resources as well as expanding the application of black bean protein.Macromolecular Substances

Abstract Partitioning of macromolecules between pore and bulk solutions directly affects both equilibrium and transport processes such as exclusion chromatography and movement of solutes through porous media. Because of interactions between macromolecules and the pore wall, the variation of the macromolecule activity with concentration is different inside the pore than in bulk solution. This difference causes a concentration dependence of the distribution coefficient, as reported in experiments involving exclusion chromatography. In order to explain this effect, we develop a model for a concentration‐dependent distribution which explicitly accounts for a coupling between pore–macromolecule and macromolecule–macromolecule interactions. Predictions using this model are reported for the case of rigid spherical macromolecules in both cylindrical and slit pores, including both steric (hard sphere–hard wall) and long‐range (screened electrostatic) interactions. An important result is the existence of a general correlation between the first order concentration effect and measurable properties of the macromolecule and porous medium.

Abstract It is shown in the appendix that the derivatives of the excess free energy of a macromolecule in solution, with respect to the activities of other solution components, lead to fluctuation and linkage relations among these other components. Solution fluctuation theory is used, but it is specialized to the fluctuations and correlations associated with the presence of a macromolecule, and is developed with a modified ensemble. The relations of the appendix are used to analyze the interaction of two solution components, A and B, with the macromolecule and with one another. Three cases are considered: (1) A and B are ligands that bind stoichiometrically to the macromolecule. This case reduces to Wyman's binding polynomial analysis. (2) A and B are tow substances at high concentration that interact selectively with the macromolecule. (3) A is a species that binds stoichiometrically to the macromolecule, while B is a component at high concentration that interacts weakly with the macromolecule.

Built-up macromolecules are acyclic molecules with molecular weights of several thousand daltons, which are synthesized by connecting small molecular units using stepwise methods. The chemical study of built-up macromolecules reveals some noteworthy properties that are different from those of conventional biological and synthetic macromolecules. A characteristic feature of built-up organic macromolecules is that their structures and properties are discontinuous at a certain molecular weight. For such macromolecules, variation in the small molecular units and the formation of cyclic structures substantially affect the structure and properties. The built-up organic macromolecules obtained by connecting helicenes with amide, acetylene, and amine groups are discussed in this paper. Some chiral built-up macromolecules are linked by covalent bonds, and the effects of linking on the structure are compared.
