Article Abstract

To promote the environmentally friendly and sustainable development of nuclear energy, it is imperative to address the treatment of wastewater generated by the nuclear industry. This necessitates the enhancement of fission product reclamation efficiency post-treatment. This study aims to combine defect control and confined self-assembly strategies for the precise design of interlayer spacing (14.6 Å to 15.1 Å), leading to the fabrication of conditional natroxalate-functionalized vanadosilicate, and its potential application in the efficient adsorption and reclamation of Sr. NaNatroxalateSiNbVO·1.2 HO (Nb4-NxSiVO), with a layer spacing of 14.9 Å, exhibits the highest Sr(II) adsorption capacity (248.76 mg/g), enabling effective separation with Cs. The natroxalate embedded within the confined interlayers demonstrates excellent stability, offering rapid (within 10 min) and stable adsorption sites for Sr(II). Furthermore, Nb4-NxSiVO exhibits a wide band gap and exceptional thermal stability before and after adsorption, rendering hard desorption of Sr. The findings highlight the potential of Nb4-NxSiVO as a promising adsorbent for rapid and selective purification of Sr-containing wastewater and further application in nuclear batteries.

The Influence of Single-Stranded or Double-Stranded DNA Tags on Ligand Binding Affinity in DNA-Encoded Libraries.

Anal Chem

Laboratory of Organic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zurich, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland.

DNA-encoded libraries have become widely used in drug discovery, and several different setups to link chemical compounds to DNA have been employed in the field, including single-stranded and double-stranded DNA tags as well as a variety of linker chemistries. In our previous study, we observed distinct differences in binding affinities between ligands coupled either to single-stranded or double-stranded DNA; however, the molecular basis for these differences remained unclear. Here, we present a native ion mobility mass spectrometry approach that incorporates gas- and solution-phase activation techniques to systematically investigate these differences, specifically the impact of DNA tags on binding performance in protein-ligand interactions.

Background: Chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve induces neuropathic pain, inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurodegenerative changes, impairing sensory and emotional function. While curcumin is well recognized for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, its therapeutic use is limited by poor bioavailability. Curcumin liposomal nanoparticles (CLNs) offer improved delivery and stability.

Transition of Structurally Distinct Amyloids in the Degradation of Protein Materials.

Chemistry Division, Code 6176, US Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. 20375, United States.

Amyloid materials are formed from the aggregation of single proteins, yet contain polymorphisms where bulk properties are defined by a composition of multiple fibril types. Though desirable as a sustainable material, little is known about how various fibril types survive at high temperatures or in nonpolar solvents due to their highly similar molecular and nanoscale features. Here, we demonstrate that in situ two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2DIR), when paired with nanoscale microscopy, can determine the transition temperature of amyloid subpopulations without the use of labels.

In this study, both pure and calcium-containing complex liposomes made from DPPC phospholipids were investigated using calorimetric and spectrophotometric methods. Liposomes were prepared using a new technology in both water and a 20% glycerol aqueous solution. Glycerol allows drug-containing DPPC liposomes to penetrate the dermis of the skin through the epidermis.
