Compared to chemical activation, 40 s of plasma activation yielded comparable performance with significantly shorter processing times (vs NaOH) and without hazardous solvents (such as DMF).

The amount of trypsin conjugated per liposome membrane area was maximized based on the size of the polymer chain of liposomes and the type of cross-linker (glutaraldehyde or tris-succinimidyl aminotriacetate). The secondary structure of trypsin was altered through the conjugation reaction, as revealed with circular dichroism measurements and spectral analyses. Stability of trypsin at 40–60 °C significantly increased through being conjugated to liposomes, whereas free trypsin was clearly deactivated even at 40 °C in an enzyme concentration-dependent manner, indicating the involvement of autolysis mechanism. Liposome-conjugated trypsin was applied to catalyze the digestion of bovine serum albumin at 37 °C and a substrate/trypsin weight ratio of 100.

The research results show that the formulation of the dispersed gel system is optimized through thermogravimetric analysis, with the monomer concentration determined to be 12 wt % and the cross-linking agent concentration determined to be 0.7 wt %.

To address this issue, we propose a relative evaluation framework for odor prediction, focusing on odor similarity rather than absolute descriptors. In this study, we constructed three-dimensional structures of approximately 400 human olfactory receptors (hORs) using AlphaFold2 and performed molecular docking simulations with odorant compounds. Each odorant was represented as a 409-dimensional docking score vector, and odor similarity was inferred by comparing these vectors statistically. To evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, we used odorant molecules from the ATLAS database and tested whether molecules with similar docking profiles correspond to similar olfactory perceptions. Our results demonstrate that the proposed docking-based method enables the relative prediction of odor similarity between molecules, even for compounds not included in the reference database.
