Effect of pH and Particle Charge on the Interfacial Properties of Biocatalytic Pickering Emulsions─Where Are the Enzymes Located?

Langmuir

September 2025

Process Engineering in Life Science Engineering, HTW Berlin, Wilhelminenhofstraße 75 A, 12459 Berlin, Germany.

Pickering emulsions (PEs), where water-in-oil (w/o) droplets are stabilized by nanoparticles (NPs), offer a promising platform for biocatalysis by providing a large interfacial area crucial for efficient substrate conversion. While several lipase catalyzed reactions in PEs have been demonstrated, the exact interfacial structure is unknown. This study focuses on the interfacial network formed by NPs and lipase (CRL) at the octanol/water-interface by varying pH and NP charge.

A Novel Homozygous Nonsense Pathogenic Variant of the CPAMD8 Gene Associated With Congenital Microcoria.

Clin Genet

September 2025

Eye Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Key Laboratory of Basic and Clinical Research of Heilongjiang Province, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, People's Republic of China.

Congenital microcoria (MCOR) is a rare inherited ocular disorder. Here, we describe a novel nonsense variant in the CPAMD8 gene in a patient with MCOR. We conducted a comprehensive clinical examination of a patient diagnosed with MCOR and performed whole-exome sequencing to identify potential pathogenic variants.

Chlorophyll is vital for plants, giving them their green color and playing indispensable crucial role in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll-deficient mutants serve as classic models for studying plant pigment metabolism and typically exhibit chlorotic or albino phenotypes, resulting in major impacts on photosynthetic efficiency and growth development of plants. Understanding the mechanisms behind chlorophyll deficiency not only advances basic plant biology but also supports crop breeding strategies aimed at improving yield, stress tolerance, and adaption.

The dynamic interaction between immune recognition molecules and signaling pathways in the innate immune response of Penaeus monodon to White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) infection is unveiled in this study. Through comprehensive gene expression profiling, we demonstrate significant upregulation of key immune genes, including a specific C-type lectin and a defined ficolin isoform, in WSSV-infected hemocytes, underscoring their pivotal roles in pathogen recognition and antiviral defense. Leveraging advanced molecular techniques, we successfully expressed, purified, and characterized these recombinant proteins, revealing their time-dependent expression and high-affinity binding to lipopolysaccharides (LPS).

Based on the first-principles calculations, we theoretically investigate the electronic structure, interfacial and optical properties of the tellurene/ZnSe (namely α- and γ-Te/ZnSe) van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs). In the most stable stacking pattern, the α-Te/ZnSe vdWH exhibits an indirect band gap of 0.41 eV and forms a type-I band alignment, while the γ-Te/ZnSe vdWH possesses a p-type Schottky contact with a favorable Schottky barrier height of 0.
