Cruciferin, a protein from rapeseed, has great potential as green emulsifier, but details about its structure and mobility at oil-water interfaces are largely unknown. Here, these properties are studied with small angle neutron and x-ray scattering, and neutron spin echo spectroscopy, analyzed by atomistic modelling of scattering curves and coarse-grained modelling, to gain insight into interface coverage, and molecular conformation and mobility at the interface. Cruciferin assumes trimeric conformations at the interface, as in solution, but with its protrusions from the central core of the subunits (“arms”) more compressed. Interfacial mobility is only marginally lower than in solution, indicating the arms still transiently extend and preserve a network, for the first time revealing the mechanism how cruciferin forms highly elastic 2d gel-like oil-water interfaces, as observed in macroscopic rheology. The high interfacial mobility may help in self-repairing non-stabilized interfacial fractions, reducing coalescence.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is particularly promising due to its pH-responsive degradation and biocompatibility. However, controlling the crystal phase and particle size of ZIF-8 is critical for optimizing cellular uptake and therapeutic efficacy. Here, a one-pot biomimetic mineralization strategy using a tertiary amine (e.g., triethylamine) to modulate the phase and size of DNA@ZIF biocomposites is reported. Without triethylamine, the resulting biocomposites form microscale carbonate-phase particles, whereas the introduction of triethylamine induces the formation of nanoscale sodalite-phase ZIF-8. Moreover, triethylamine not only reduces particle size but also enhances the water stability and nucleic acid protection capabilities of the biocomposites. Triethylamine-incorporated DNA@ZIF-8 demonstrates negligible cytotoxicity and efficient gene delivery into prostate cancer cells compared to unmodified formulations.

PL quenching by 3NT is driven by static interactions, as revealed by single-particle near-field IR spectroscopy. Time-dependent density functional theory indicates that complexation with 3NT induces a significant reduction in the oscillator strength of key excited states in the NS-GQDs, suppressing radiative transitions and suggesting the formation of a non-emissive “dark states”.
