Article Abstract
Novel graphene oxide (GO)-modified affinity capillary monoliths were developed employing human serum albumin (HSA) or pepsin as chiral selector. Three types of amino donors for GO immobilization, including ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), ethanediamine (EDA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), were applied to explore the effect of spacer arm on enantioseparation. It was observed that HSA-GO-EDA-based affinity capillary monoliths exhibited better chiral recognition ability in comparison with the other two spacer-based monoliths. Under the optimized conditions, the obtained columns revealed satisfactory repeatability concerning column-to-column, run-to-run and interday repeatability. In addition, the impact of GO concentration on enantiomeric separation was also investigated. HSA-GO-EDA-based affinity capillary monoliths provided higher chiral selectivity for nine pairs of enantiomers compared to the columns without GO. Furthermore, the influence of amino donors and GO on proteolytic activity of pepsin-based immobilized enzymatic reactor (IMER) was discussed. Unfortunately, pepsin-GO-PEI-based affinity capillary monoliths possessed the highest protein digestion capacity, which was different from the effect of amino donors on enantiorecognition. Moreover, GO presented as a favorable choice to improve the enzymatic activity of IMER. These results proved that GO-functionalized affinity capillary monoliths have promising potential for chiral separation and proteolysis.

Cytochrome c (cyt c) is a heme protein located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Because the release of cyt c is a highly specific event in apoptotic signaling, it can serve as an apoptosis-related marker. To date, three frequently used aptamers for cyt c (Apt40, Apt61, and Apt76) have been selected and applied in the field of sensing.

Aqueous foams are solid materials composed of gases and liquids, exhibiting a large gas/liquid surface area and enabling dynamic exchanges between their fluid components. The structure of binary-gas foams, whose bubbles consist of a mixture of two gases having different affinities with the liquid, thus offers real potential for the dynamic separation of these gases at low cost. In single-gas foams, the structure evolves under the effect of gas flow induced by Laplace pressure differences, arising from heterogeneities in bubble size.

The haemoglobin variant Hb Tacoma [HBB:c.93G > T;CD30(Arg > Ser) was detected in approximately 1 in 1000 patients tested for HbA1c at Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm. Incidentally, five homozygous individuals were found, none of them presenting with severe haematological abnormalities.

Anisotropic goethite nanoparticles play a critical role in the environmental behavior of nutrient and contaminant due to their abundance, high surface area, and strong binding affinity; however, their transformation into smaller, more mobile nanocolloids under natural setting remains underexplored. Here, we show that natural wet-dry cycles at alkaline pH in the presence of As(V) or P(V) induce extensive goethite nanorod (GtNR) fragmentation into nanospheres (GtNS) and the formation of ferrihydrite single-digit nanospheres (FhSDNS), driven by drying-induced surface reactions, oxyanion-mediated dissolution, reprecipitation, passivation, capillary stress, and defect sites. Under identical conditions, nanospheres of hematite, maghemite, and magnetite exhibit minimal transformation, underscoring the unique susceptibility of GtNR.

Understanding cooperative binding is essential for characterizing interactions between multimeric proteins and their ligands, because biological function often depends on binding stoichiometry or allosteric regulation. Detailed characterization of cooperativity, in turn, requires determination of the equilibrium dissociation constants for each binding step (, ,..
