Article Abstract
4-iodophenylboronic acid (IPBA) ligated luminescent gold cluster was synthesized by mixing an aqueous solution of IBPA and polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized gold cluster (Au:PVP) in water at room temperature through chemisorption of iodine on gold nano surface. Transmission Electron microscopy (TEM) and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) analysis revealed that the size of these Au-clusters (1.4±0.2 nm) remain unchanged without any noticeable aggregation during synthesis. Owing to the formation of excimer between aryl moieties grafted over Au surface, the cluster exhibit strong emission peak at 335 nm. This luminescent gold cluster is used for sensing different saccharides in water at physiological pH through quenching of excimer emission peak. This strong excimer emission is significantly quenched in presence of saccharides through interaction with boronic acid moieties. The selectivity for different saccharides follows the order: fructose > galactose > maltose > glucose ~ ribose > sorbitol with hight affinity for fructose (K = 1.54 × 10 M) with Limit of Detection (LOD) of 100 μM.

Effects of Gold Nanoparticles on the Antioxidant Power of Gallic Acid: A Computational Investigation Using a Cluster Model.

Computational approaches within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) are used to probe the effects of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the antioxidant potency of gallic acid (HGA), which is a prototypical polyphenolic acid. Four small gold clusters, Au with = 2, 3, 6, and 11, are employed as simple models to simulate the surface of AuNPs. The antioxidant capacity is evaluated through the ability to donate a hydrogen atom and to transfer an electron, which are characterized by the bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) and ionization energy (IE) of the antioxidant, respectively.

Understanding and controlling the nucleation and growth processes of gold clusters are crucial for advancing the nucleation theory and targeted cluster synthesis. While mass spectrometry has revealed the intermediate species formed during the growth process, the overall structural evolution remains unclear due to a lack of crystallographic information. In this study, we examined a new synthetic method for thiolate-protected gold clusters in their embryonic stage.

Artisanal gold mining in Nigeria's Ile-Ife-Ilesha schist belt has triggered an unprecedented heavy metal contamination crisis, posing severe environmental and public health risks. Despite increasing reports of pollution, comprehensive geospatial and multivariate assessments of contamination patterns and sources remain limited, creating a significant knowledge gap in understanding heavy metal dynamics in the region. This study assessed the extent, sources, and health implications of heavy metal pollution in the Ile-Ife-Ilesha mining corridor using integrated geospatial and multivariate statistical analyses.

Introduction: In 2024, the GeMTeX project launched the largest ever de-identification campaign for German-language clinical reports, and, as a pilot study, published GraSCCoPHI, the first de-identified German-language gold standard corpus of synthetic discharge summaries.
Methods: GeMTeX's de-identification workflow is described here - including annotation tool management and, pre-annotation experience, such as assembling and training annotation groups and the evolution of guidelines.
Results: We present the project's progress in the first year with respect to de-identification efforts and the challenges we faced during the rollout at six hospital sites in four German states.

The SEC14-GOLD family of phosphatidylinositol (PI) transfer proteins, known as PATELLIN (PATL) proteins in plants, are key regulators of plasma membrane (PM)-related signaling processes. They function through multifaceted interactions involving a SEC14 lipid-binding domain, GOLD domain, and their N-terminal region. Protein phosphorylation is crucial for modulating protein and phospholipid interactions, but phosphorylation of SEC14 proteins remains understudied.
