The functional properties of myofibrils depend largely on their surface characteristics. Changes in surface characteristics of myofibrils after chemical oxidation were elucidated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy. Myofibrils were oxidized by a hydroxyl radical generating system. Lipid oxidation and phospholipid distribution were altered during the oxidative processing. Results from particle size analysis, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and salt solubility indicated that protein cross-linking and fragmentation occurred during the oxidation of myofibrils. XPS analysis of C 1s, N 1s, and O 1s spectra suggested that surface chemical function concentrations changed significantly because of the modification of amino acid side chains that rendered protein cross-links and fragmentation and phospholipid alteration. Analysis of the correlation between the surface chemical composition and parameters of particle size distributions confirmed that protein carbonylation and phospholipid alteration were involved in protein surface modification. Results of the microstructure analysis were in agreement with those of particle size and XPS analysis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. Scanning Electron Microscopy,Electron Scanning Microscopy,Electron Microscopies, Scanning,Electron Microscopy, Scanning,Electron Scanning Microscopies,Microscopies, Electron Scanning,Microscopies, Scanning Electron,Microscopy, Electron Scanning,Microscopy, Scanning Electron,Scanning Electron Microscopies,Scanning Microscopies, Electron,Scanning Microscopy, Electron
D009210 Myofibrils The long cylindrical contractile organelles of STRIATED MUSCLE cells composed of ACTIN FILAMENTS; MYOSIN filaments; and other proteins organized in arrays of repeating units called SARCOMERES . Myofilaments,Myofibril,Myofilament
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010316 Particle Size Relating to the size of solids. Particle Sizes,Size, Particle,Sizes, Particle

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
