Article Abstract
It is demonstrated that the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to aqueous gold colloids can be quantified with molecular resolution by differential centrifugal sedimentation (DCS). This method separates colloidal particles of comparable density by mass. When proteins adsorb to the nanoparticles, both their mass and their effective density change, which strongly affects the sedimentation time. A straightforward analysis allows quantification of the adsorbed layer. Most importantly, unlike many other methods, DCS can be used to detect chemisorbed proteins ("hard corona") as well as physisorbed proteins ("soft corona"). The results for BSA on gold colloid nanoparticles can be modeled in terms of Langmuir-type adsorption isotherms (Hill model). The effects of surface modification with small thiol-PEG ligands on protein adsorption are also demonstrated.

In this study, Fe-Ni-layered double hydroxide modified crayfish shell biochar substrate (Fe-Ni-LDH@CSBC) was successfully prepared and introduced into constructed wetland (CW) to research the Cr(VI) removal mechanism through substrate adsorption and microbial action. Adsorption experiments demonstrated the equilibrium adsorption capacities of Fe-Ni-LDH@CSBC for Cr(VI) could reach 1058.48 (C=10 mg/L) and 1394.

The widespread discharge of emerging micropollutants (EMs) into sewer systems has raised serious environmental concerns throughout the world. However, the transformation mechanisms underlying the accumulation of EMs in sewer sediments remain largely unexplored. This study investigated the transformation fate and mechanisms of chloroxylenol (PCMX) in sewer sediments.

The quantification of orthophosphate is essential for applications like water quality assessment, soil fertility analysis, metabolic monitoring and enzyme activity evaluation. Chemical quantification methods include the reaction between orthophosphate and molybdate under acidic conditions to form 12-molybdophosphoric acid units, which auto-assembles forming nanometer size particles. The adsorption of malachite green to these nanoparticles allows their spectrophotometric detection constituting one of the most widely used methods to quantify phosphate.

Silica-binding peptides (SBPs) are versatile tools for functionalizing silica surfaces in biotechnology, yet the mechanisms underlying their adsorption remain poorly understood. Here, we develop a predictive molecular theory that integrates peptide structure, electrostatic and short-range interactions, and charge regulation effects to model SBP adsorption onto silica. This coarse-grained approach effectively captures the dependence of adsorption on pH, salt concentration, and peptide concentration.

Blood purification using immunoadsorbent columns is a therapeutic strategy for removing pathogenic autoantibodies in autoimmune diseases. Currently available columns have limitations: Trp/Phe columns offer cost-effectiveness and sterilizability, but lack antigen specificity and have limited capacity to remove diverse pathogenic autoantibodies; whereas Protein A/peptide/anti-human IgG columns target all antibodies, regardless of pathogenicity, limiting specificity, and often require sterile production due to low stability under sterilization conditions, except for peptide ligands. Full-length autoantigen-immobilized immunoadsorbent columns have great potential to specifically adsorb targeted autoantibodies, because autoantibodies recognize diverse epitopes that vary among individuals.
