Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates a new mechanism for regulating protein function, focusing on how hydrogen sulfide (HS) interacts with the active-site copper of the enzyme Cu/Zn-SOD.
  • - Researchers used various methods like radiolabeled binding assays and crystallography to show that HS binding alters the forces and geometry at the active site, improving the reaction with superoxide radicals.
  • - The physiological role of HS was tested in both lab and live models, revealing that its cardioprotective effects rely on the enzyme Cu/Zn-SOD.

Advanced organic vapor sensors that simultaneously have high sensitivity, fast response, and good reproducibility are required. Herein, flexible, robust, and conductive vapor-grown carbon fibers (VGCFs)-filled polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) porous composites (VGCFs/PDMS sponge (CPS)) with multilevel pores and thin, rough, and hollows wall were prepared based on the sacrificial template method and a simple dip-spin-coating process. The optimized material showed outstanding mechanical elasticity and durability, good electrical conductivity and hydrophobicity, as well as excellent acid and alkali tolerance.
