Electrodeposition is a powerful tool for the bottom-up fabrication of novel electronic devices. This necessitates a complete understanding of the deposition process beyond the classical description using current transients. Recent calculations predict deviations within the spatial arrangement of electrodeposited particles, away from random nucleation. The spatial arrangement of Au particles generated through aqueous electrodeposition on a nontemplated substrate is investigated by grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). We show that GISAXS is able to reveal spatial correlations within deposited particles that are not easily detectable by microscopy.Expansin has nonhydrolytic disruptive activity and synergistically acts with cellulases to enhance the hydrolysis of cellulose. The adsorption-desorption of expansin on noncellulosic lignin can greatly affect the action of expansin on lignocellulose. In this study, three lignins with different sources (kraft lignin (KL), sodium lignin sulfonate (SLS), and enzymatic hydrolysis lignin (EHL)) were selected as the substrates. The real-time adsorption-desorption of Bacillus subtilis expansin (BsEXLX1) on lignins was monitored using quartz crystal microgravimetry with dissipation (QCM-D). The effects of temperature and Tween 80 on the adsorption-desorption behaviors were also investigated. The results show that BsEXLX1 exhibited high binding ability on lignin and achieved maximum adsorption of 283.2, 273.8, and 266.9 ng cm-2 at 25 °C on KL, SLS, and EHL, respectively. The maximum adsorption decreased to 148.2-192.8 ng cm-2 when the temperature increased from 25 to 45 °C. Moreover, Tween 80 competitively bound to lignin and significantly prevented expansin adsorption. After irreversible adsorption of Tween 80, the maximum adsorption of BsEXLX1 greatly decreased to 33.3, 37.2, and 10.3 ng cm-2 at 25 °C on KL, SLS, and EHL, respectively. Finally, a kinetic model was developed to analyze the adsorption-desorption process of BsEXLX1. BsEXLX1 has a higher adsorption rate constant (kA) and a lower desorption rate constant (kD) on KL than on SLS and EHL. The findings of this study provide useful insights into the adsorption-desorption of expansin on lignin.Binary charge-transfer complex polymorphs composed of perylene and 4,8-bis(dicyanomethylene)-4,8-dihydrobenzo-[1,2-b4,5-b']-dithiophene (DTTCNQ) were synthesized separately via a simple artificial nucleation-tailoring method, in both macroscopic and microscopic cocrystal engineering manners. The two polymorphs were testified to be independently thermosalient in the solid state, and the specific self-assembly derived from homogeneous or heterogeneous nucleation by assistance of governable thermodynamic/kinetic drive, leading to a change in the ordered p-n stacking structure. The as-prepared polymorphic microcrystals afforded a significantly varied (opto)electronic property high n-type transporting and good photoresponsivity for β-complex, and ambipolar transporting with ignorable photoresponsivity for α-complex, attributing to the different charge-transfer and supramolecular alignment. This work provides us a new route to the exploitation of donor-acceptor complex family, making it possible to develop functional materials and devices based on variable supramolecular binary structures.Drug-induced kidney injury (DIKI) is a significant contributor of both acute and chronic kidney injury and remains a major concern in drug development and clinical care. However, current clinical diagnostic methods often fail to accurately and timely detect nephrotoxicity. This study reports the development of activatable molecular urinary reporters (MURs) that are able to specifically detect urinary biomarkers including γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alanine aminopeptidase (AAP), and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG). By virtue of their discrete absorption and emission properties, the mixture of MURs can serve as a cocktail sensor for multiplex optical urinalysis in the mouse models of drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The MURs cocktail not only detects nephrotoxicity earlier than the tested clinical diagnostic methods in drug-induced AKI and CKD mice models, but also possesses a higher diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, MURs hold great promise for detection of kidney function in both preclinical drug screening and clinical settings.Even through many physiological pathways of resveratrol have been established since its association with the "French paradox" in 1992, its exact pathological roles are still ambiguous and disputable. To understand how resveratrol exerts its effects would not only enlighten the pathogenesis study of related diseases, but also promote the development of more potent molecules. Focusing on the reported cellular directly and indirectly ROS scavenging processes of resveratrol, we evaluated the activation effect of the inherent antioxidation thiols system in subcellular level by two cysteine (Cys) specific fluorescent probes mitochondria targetable Mito-1 and lysosomes targetable Ly-1. We found that 50 μM resveratrol treatment could induce distinct Cys up-regulation in both mitochondria and lysosomes which might be a general biological phenomenon in various cell lines for the first time.In this work, we report the surface-based electrical detection of singlet oxygen using the emerging fluorophore-induced plasmonic current (PC) technique. By this method, we utilize the fluorescent "turn on" response of the well-known singlet oxygen sensor green (SOSG) singlet oxygen (1O2) fluorescent probe for the generation of fluorophore-induced PC in a silver nanoparticle film. To demonstrate the potential utility of this new technique, a photosensitizing molecule is used to generate 1O2 in a solution containing the SOSG probe. SAR439859 Estrogen antagonist The resulting change in SOSG fluorescence quantum yield and extinction coefficient permits stronger energy transfer from the SOSG probe to a proximal silver nanoparticle island film located in the near-electric field of the probe. This yields an increase in the induced electric current flow, allowing for the detection of the 1O2 analyte. To the author's knowledge, this represents the first detection of the reactive oxygen species 1O2 utilizing fluorophore-induced PC methodology and even broader electrical detection of 1O2.
