This creates a pathway for these contaminants to enter the food chain and, by extension, causes human health and economic concerns. One barrier to managing land with PFAS contamination is the variation in reported plant uptake levels across studies. A review of the literature suggests that the variation in plant uptake is influenced by a host of factors including the composition of PFAS chemicals, soil conditions, and plant physiology. Factors include (1) the chemical components of the PFAS such as the end group and chain length; (2) drivers of soil sorption such as the presence of soil organic matter (SOM), multivalent cation concentration, pH, soil type, and micropore volume; and (3) crop physiological features such as fine root area, percentage of mature roots, and leaf blade area. The wide range of driving factors highlights a need for research to elucidate these mechanisms through additional experiments as well as collect more data to support refined models capable of predicting PFAS uptake in a range of cropping systems. A conceptual framework presented here links drivers of plant PFAS uptake found in the literature to phytomanagement approaches such as modified agriculture or phytoremediation to provide decision support to land managers.","PeriodicalId":9053,"journal":{"name":"Biointerphases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9860371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synthesized graphite-boron nanocomposite with an average thickness of ∼32 nm was grown up on a flexible polyvinylidene fluoride film with an average thickness of ∼50 μm and it acts as a nonenzymatic sensor for UA. The developed flexible sensor showed a prominent reduction peak in cyclic voltammetry and amperometric response with the presence of different concentrations of aqueous UA solution. In the electrochemical study, the redox peak was generated near ∼-0.42 V with a detection limit of around ∼2.09 μM as the bottom level. The high robustness of the developed sensor originated from the polymeric film base and the rapid response time of ∼0.5 s for detecting UA present in human urine. The interference property of the sensor was confirmed in the presence of bilirubin and creatinine as an eventual reference toward selectivity. The phase and morphology of the sensor surface were extensively observed before and after sensing to comprehend the electrochemical interaction between the sensor and target molecules. The generated quantitative results of the integrated system were verified by testing known and unknown concentrations of UA solutions.","PeriodicalId":9053,"journal":{"name":"Biointerphases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10114294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This enzyme is widely used in industrial phenol removal, food additives, biomedicine, and clinical test reagents due to its rapid reaction rate and obvious reaction outcomes. However, the large-scale use of HRP in industrial applications still faces numerous challenges, including activity, stability, and sustainability. This study demonstrates that when peroxidase is immobilized in zwitterionic polymer hydrogels, polycarboxybetaine (PCB) and polysulfobetaine (PSB), the properties of the enzyme are improved. PCB and PSB-embedded HRP exhibit a 6.11 and 1.53 times increase in Kcat/Km value, respectively, compared to the free enzyme. The immobilized enzyme also experiences increased activity over a range of temperatures and better tolerance to extreme pH and organic solvents, including formaldehyde. In addition, immobilized HRP exhibits excellent performance in storage and reproducibility. Remarkably, PCB-HRP still retains 80% of the initial activity after a 6-week storage period and can still attain the initial catalytic level of the free enzyme after six repeated cycles. It also removes 90% of phenol within 12 min, surpassing the current pharmacy on the market. These experimental results indicated that we have successfully designed a set of stable and efficient support substrates for horseradish peroxidase, which enhances its suitability for deployment in industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":9053,"journal":{"name":"Biointerphases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9805524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the interfacial region contains a significantly smaller fraction of molecules compared to the bulk, it is the primary site where many photoinduced excited state processes occur, such as charge transfer, charge recombination, separation, energy transfer processes, etc. All such photoinduced processes have a dependence on molecular orientation and density of states at the interfaces, therefore having an understanding of the interfacial region is essential. However, conventional spectroscopic techniques, such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, etc., face limitations in probing the orientation and density of states of interfacial molecules. Therefore, there is a need for noninvasive techniques capable of efficiently investigating the interfaces. The electronic sum frequency generation (ESFG) technique offers an interface selectivity based on the principle that the second-order nonlinear susceptibility tensor, within the electric dipole approximation, is zero in the isotropic bulk but nonzero at interfaces. This selectivity makes ESFG a promising spectroscopy tool to probe the molecular orientation and density of states at the buried interface. For beginners interested in employing ESFG to study the density of states at the interface, a detailed description of the experimental setup is provided here.","PeriodicalId":9053,"journal":{"name":"Biointerphases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9804040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is still unknown whether the approach is applicable for the dendrimers with different geometric sizes. Therefore, the characteristics of conjugates made from zwitterionic poly(amidoamine) (PAM) and the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide were examined to elucidate the effects of the geometric sizes of the PAM dendrimer on the conformational structure and stability of the peptide. The results show that the RGD fragments had almost the same structure and stability when conjugated with PAM(G3, G4, or G5) dendrimers. However, when conjugated with PAM(G1 or G2) dendrimers, the structural stability of these fragments was found to be much worse. Also, the structure and stability of RGD segments conjugated with PAM(G3, G4, or G5) were not affected when additional EK segments were inserted. Moreover, we observed that RGD fragments conjugated with PAM(G3, G4, or G5) dendrimers were structurally stable and similar when the concentration of NaCl was 0.15 and 0.5M. Furthermore, we show that PAM(G3, G4, or G5)-RGD conjugates bind strongly to integrin αvβ3.","PeriodicalId":9053,"journal":{"name":"Biointerphases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9679422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, large-scale simulations of protein coronas have been carried out by an efficient mesoscopic coarse-grained method with the BMW-MARTINI force field. The effects of protein concentration, size of silica nanoparticles (SNPs), and ionic strength on the formation of lysozyme-SNP coronas are investigated at the microsecond time scale. Simulations results indicate that (i) an increase in the amount of lysozyme is favorable for the conformation stability of adsorbed lysozyme on SNPs. Moreover, the formation of ringlike and dumbbell-like aggregations of lysozyme can further reduce the conformational loss of lysozyme; (ii) for a smaller SNP, the increase of protein concentration exhibits a greater effect on the adsorption orientation of lysozyme. The dumbbell-like lysozyme aggregation is unfavorable for the stability of lysozyme's adsorption orientation; however, the ringlike lysozyme aggregation can enhance the orientation stability; (iii) the increase of ionic strength can reduce the conformation change of lysozyme and accelerate the aggregation of lysozyme during their adsorption process on SNPs.
