Article Abstract

Fully negatively-charged (FNC) layer-by-layer nanofilms were successfully assembled on a living cell surface for the first time using only poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) by introducing strain-promoted click chemistry to crosslink PAA layers. The resulting nanofilms retained their negative charges and showed higher adsorption of positively-charged molecules without affecting the cell viability.

Quartz is among the most abundant minerals on Earth, but its surface chemistry under varying pH conditions remains not fully understood. In particular, the interplay between pH, amphoteric behavior, and water adsorption properties has been the subject of a long-standing debate. This study presents a comprehensive, multitechnique investigation into the pH-dependent interfacial chemistry of quartz.

Sodium lignosulfonate (SL, a ubiquitous natural organic macromolecule) containing multiple hydrophilic functional groups was widely used in mineral flotation fields to separate valuable minerals and gangues. However, the selective adsorption mechanism of SL on similar mineral surfaces remains not fully elucidated, resulting in the challenges of the precise modulation of mineral flotation separation processes. In this work, SL as an effective depressant was employed in barite flotation systems, realizing the efficient separation of barite from calcite and fluorite.

Because matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization in-source decay (MALDI-ISD) induces selective cleavage on the peptide backbone, this technique allows reliable identification of peptides and proteins. In the last 15 years, several new matrices have been developed that more efficiently induce MALDI-ISD, opening new research avenues. Fragmentation of peptides by MALDI-ISD can be divided into two categories: reducing and oxidizing matrices induce selective cleavage of N-Cα and Cα-C bonds, respectively.

Background: Nucleic acids are increasingly being recognized for their potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of a variety of pathologies, such as genetic diseases, viral infections, and cancer. However, the safe delivery of these negatively charged macromolecules to their intended sites of action remains a major challenge.

Purpose: This study aimed to design and characterize cationic particles for use as nonviral vectors for nucleic acid delivery; another primary objective was to evaluate the biocompatibility between the particles and DNA.
