Article Abstract
Monolayers were formed by specific interactions between adamantylated proteins (transferrin, lysozyme) and a β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) monolayer on a gold surface. Very high stabilities could be reached by multiple interactions of 3-6 adamantyl moieties linked through triethylene glycol spacers to the protein with β-CD rings attached to the surface. Furthermore, bound proteins could be completely removed from the surface through competitive binding of an excess of free adamantane. Regenerable protein sensor chips can be constructed by using this supramolecular toolbox. Attached proteins are still recognized by specific antibodies, which was attributed to a loose packing of the protein molecules at the β-CD monolayer.

The precise determination of viral titers in virological studies is a critical step to assess the infectious viral concentration of a sample. Although conventional titration methods, such as endpoint dilution or plaque forming units are the gold standards, their widespread use for screening experiments remains limited due to the time-consuming aspect and resource-intensive requirements. This study introduces a rapid and user-friendly high-throughput screening assay for evaluating viral titers.

The surface structure of an electrocatalyst plays a crucial role in determining the activity. As a model system, gold has been widely investigated as an electro-oxidation catalyst, although there has been much less research on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the potential region of gold oxidation. Here, we combine voltammetric scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), at different spatial and angular resolutions, respectively, to correlate the local crystallographic structure of polycrystalline goldfocusing on grains close to (113), (011), (114), and (111) orientationswith the electrocatalytic behavior for the OER.

Background And Aim: Bovine babesiosis, caused by , poses significant economic challenges to Kazakhstan's cattle industry. Early and accurate detection is crucial for interrupting transmission cycles, particularly in regions lacking advanced diagnostic infrastructure. This study aimed to develop a rapid lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) using a recombinant C-terminal fragment of the recombinant rhoptry-associated protein 1 (rRap1) antigen for the serodiagnosis of bovine babesiosis.

A novel phthalonitrile derivative (a) containing three functional groups (hexyl, aminated ester, phenoxy) was synthesized and subsequently cyclotetramerized in the presence of the corresponding metal chloride salts to obtain hexadeca-substituted metal {M = Cu(II) and Co(II)} phthalocyanines (b and c). The water-soluble phthalocyanines (d and e) were prepared by treating the newly synthesized complexes (b and c) with methyl iodide. Moreover, gold nanoparticles (1) and silver nanoparticles (2) were prepared, and their surfaces were modified with quaternary phthalocyanines (d and e).

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has shown potential for early disease diagnosis via urinary metabolomics, but still faces challenges in achieving stable hot spots and processing complex clinical data. In this study, the preparation of chiral gold nanostars with precisely controllable branch size, number, and sharpness was realized by investigating the effects of l-GSH and CTA ( indicates halides) on site occupancy, reduction rate, and selective adsorption on crystal facets. Raman spectroscopic characterization using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a reporter molecule revealed that nanoparticles with fewer branches, larger branch bases, and smoother surfaces exhibited excellent SERS activity, with an analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of 5.
