This study presents an innovative, ecofriendly voltammetric method for SA determination in milk. The proposed method employs a working electrode fabricated from inexpensive, commercially available Cu wires, which were chemically modified with a CuO-rich layer grown electrochemically via cyclic voltammetry in alkaline medium (0.1 mol L<sup>–1</sup> NaOH). This modifying layer not only enhanced the voltammetric response of SA but also conferred antifouling properties to the working electrode. Differential pulse voltammetry, under optimized conditions, yielded a linear range of 10–500 μmol L<sup>–1</sup> with a limit of detection of 3.0 μmol L<sup>–1</sup>. A key innovation is a simple and rapid sample pretreatment using aqueous solutions of ZnSO<sub>4</sub> and NaOH. The ZnSO<sub>4</sub> precipitates proteins, while NaOH ionizes SA, facilitating its extraction into the aqueous phase. This procedure minimizes sample and reagent consumption, eliminates organic solvents, and allows the processing of up to eight samples in 15 min. This environmentally friendly pretreatment, combined with the Cu/CuO electrode, enabled reliable SA quantification in spiked milk samples, with recovery percentages ranging from 91% to 107%.

LTs are essential for numerous cellular processes, including cell-wall maturation, peptidoglycan recycling, cell division, and the assembly of multiprotein complexes.

A model of interaction between SltB2 and the peptidoglycan is proposed, which accounts for the enzyme’s tolerance to peptide stems and reveals particular features at site +2, due to the unique arrangement of the PG-binding domain, explaining its preferred exolytic activity.

UV–vis spectroscopy confirmed the formation of CaONPs with a characteristic absorption peak at 321 nm.

Molecular docking simulations were performed to evaluate the binding potential of synthesized CaONPs against selected bacterial outer membrane proteins (7NG9, 1BY3, 1FEB, 2HDF, and 4C4V) and the FDPS enzyme. The results revealed that CaO exhibited strong and stable binding interactions, comparable to or exceeding those of reference drugs, suggesting its promise as a dual-function bioactive agent.

Our ability to predict the temporal dynamics of material fluxes is crucial for designing crystalline materials and controlling the behavior of chemical systems for various applications. The critical question is, do these dynamics have deterministic or stochastic features, or should we expect a constant, oscillatory, or completely random temporal behavior from a predefined crystalline structure? Our study is dedicated to barium sulfate (barite), which is considered one of the primary backfilling materials for nuclear waste repositories. We developed a new parametrized Kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) model, which allows us to simulate the temporal evolution of the system. We have found that material flux oscillates quasiperiodically over time, indicating the presence of deterministic and stochastic components. This raises the question of whether it can be predicted in principle. Our observations cover the mechanistic and kinetic behavior of the Barite-water system and can be applied to studies of other solid–liquid interfaces.</p>","PeriodicalId":22,"journal":{"name":"ACS Omega","volume":"10 41","pages":"49216–49230"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acsomega.5c05761","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145319407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
