Proteins can be adsorbed onto either the inner walls or outer surfaces of CNTs via van der Waals interactions; however, the differences between these two processes remain poorly understood. In this work, we performed classical all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with explicit solvents to investigate the interaction between a model protein, the Yap65 WW domain, and (22,22) CNTs and larger. The Yap65 WW domain comprises three β-sheet segments and contains three key aromatic residues: TRP17, TYR28, and TRP39. Our findings reveal distinct interaction mechanisms for the inner and outer surfaces of large CNTs. The protein’s interaction with the inner surface is governed by the interplay between surface curvature and adsorption orientation. In the confined space of the CNT channel, variations in tube curvature and adsorption orientation give rise to specific binding modes, resulting in varying degrees of protein conformational change. In contrast, on the outer surface of large CNTs, where space is less restricted, the adsorption orientation plays a more dominant role. Specifically, the orientation in which more aromatic residues directly interact with the surface suffer from the greater structural loss, regardless of the tube curvature. Finally, protein-CNT binding free energies were calculated using the Poisson–Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) method and steered molecular dynamics simulations based on Jarzynski equality, demonstrating that protein desorption from CNTs is highly dependent on binding configurations. This study reveals the influence of confined space on protein adsorption and the critical role of CNT curvature in modulating β-sheet stability.","PeriodicalId":50,"journal":{"name":"Langmuir","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143124374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate that nonlinear electroosmotic flow (EOF) can occur between two electrodes situated 5 mm apart through long-range electroconvection. Notably, we observe a soliton-like wave of ion concentration fluctuation traveling from the working electrode to the ground electrode, causing significant disruption to the electric triple layer (ETL) on the ground electrode. Consequently, both the ETL structure on the electrodes and the bulk fluid are profoundly influenced by an external electric field.

Mild thermal annealing imposes vast and varied amounts of water intercalation into the graphene–mica interface, resulting in the formation of nanoblisters and impacting the local environment for applications such as reactions confined at the solid–solid interface. Atomic force microscopy imaging (AFM) and micro-Fourier transform infrared (micro-FTIR) spectroscopy characterization after 60–120 °C anneals revealed large volumes of water readily intercalate into graphene–mica nanoblisters, elucidating water transport behavior under mild reaction conditions. The inflation and deflation of graphene nanoblisters throughout the annealing process is attributed to the contraction of the graphene capping layer upon cooling from the annealing temperature, due to the independence of nanoblister aspect ratios from nanoblister volume or surface area. The intercalated water volume was estimated by the distended volumes of each nanoblister and exhibit an equilibrium trend established after 2 h of annealing. This water equilibrium occurs at a variety of temperatures, but higher temperatures favor graphene contraction and distention to accommodate larger volumes of water. Nanoblister volumes are set during the cooling process, indicating a kinetic trapping effect that can influence physical properties and reactivity for all systems confined at the graphene–mica interface.","PeriodicalId":50,"journal":{"name":"Langmuir","volume":"137 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143084010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most valuable component of the product mixture is the alkylbenzenes because of their potential as precursors to anionic surfactants. In this study, a one-pot reactive separation is described. Sulfonating the product mixture from PE upcycling with silica sulfuric acid followed by neutralization with sodium hydroxide yields sodium alkylbenzenesulfonates (up to 93 mol % selectivity), along with a separate phase of lubricant-range hydrocarbons as a coproduct.

In this study, we employed fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS)─a technique capable of detecting diffusion behavior at equilibrium─to investigate the intraparticle diffusion of rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) within single porous silica particles of varying pore sizes. The autocorrelation coefficients of Rh6G were fitted using two-component analysis, revealing faster and slower diffusion components associated with the pore diffusion, without and with adsorption/desorption, respectively―behaviors that were not observed by the kinetic method described by our previous study. Further analysis of the slower diffusion component was conducted using pore and surface diffusion models. Our findings indicate that pore diffusion is the primary diffusion mechanism for Rh6G within silica particles. Thus, we demonstrated that the intraparticle diffusion mechanism of Rh6G in silica particles can be elucidated using FCS measurements.","PeriodicalId":50,"journal":{"name":"Langmuir","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143083731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The host–guest interaction was characterized by using UV–vis spectra and GPC. The surface activity of P2 and the PEO-CD inclusion complex (P2@CD-PEO) was studied. Compared with Pnipam-AZO, the surface tension of P2@CD-PEO was higher. The inclusion of the hydrophobic AZO by CD and the attachment of the hydrophilic PEO to P2 lead to the decreasing adsorption amount of Pnipam, which results in increasing surface tension of P2@CD-PEO. Under UV light, the photoisomerization of AZO leads to decoupling of P2 and PEO-CD. Accordingly, the surface tension decreased, and this process was recyclable. The aggregation behaviors of P2@CD-PEO were studied by dynamic laser light scattering. The size and structure of the aggregates formed by P2@CD-PEO were light-responsive. The decoupling of PEO-CD and Pnipam-AZO made the size of the aggregates increase under UV light due to the increasing hydrophobicity of Pnipam-AZO. The emulsification study showed that P2@CD-PEO was an effective emulsifier, which could form oil-in-water emulsion for the petroleum ether and water system. The SEM images of the freeze-dried emulsion showed that the emulsion was stabilized by P2@CD-PEO aggregates that adsorbed at the oil and water interface.
