Control of a Gel-Forming Chemical Reaction Network Using Light-Triggered Proton Pumps
Numerous metabolic processes in nature are governed by extrinsic stimuli such as light and pH variations, which afford opportunities for synthetic and biological applications. In developing a multisensor apparatus, we have integrated submicrometer purple membrane patches, each harboring bacteriorhodopsin, onto a surface. Bacteriorhodopsin is a light-driven proton pump. We conducted monitoring of the interactions between this system and a pH-responsive supramolecular hydrogel to evaluate fibrous matrix growth. Initial photostimulation induced localized reductions in pH at the membrane surface, thereby catalyzing fibrogenesis within the hydrogel. Utilizing liquid atomic force microscopy alongside confocal laser scanning microscopy, we observed the hydrogel’s morphogenesis and structural adaptations in real time. The system adeptly modulated microscale pH environments, fostering targeted fibrous development within the hydrogel matrix. This elucidates the potential for engineering responsive materials that emulate natural bioprocesses.
期刊介绍:
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
