Notes:
D,L-Leucine-NCA and D,L-methionine-NCA were copolymerized in varying mole fractions by using primary base initiation. The methionine segments were oxidized to both sulfoxide and sulfone functions by using peroxide oxidation. The compositions of the resulting polymers were established with the aid of 60 MHz NMR. The transport properties of aqueous solutes through membranes formed from these polymers were studied by means of a diffusive dialysis measurement. The transport of NaCl, urea, creatinine, uric acid, and bacitracin were found to be strongly dependent on the degree of hydration of the polymers. The relative rates of transport of these solutes were affected by interaction with the polymers, when the degree of hydration was not excessive. The degree of hydration was a function of the extent of methionine oxidation.
