A method for measuring the adsorption of dimethyl sulfoxide on native and denatured trypsin and albumin was developed. On native proteins, no positive adsorption was registered, and a slight negative adsorption within the limits of experimental error was observed. It was shown that the properties of denatured proteins depend on the mode and conditions of denaturation. On one of denatured trypsin specimens, positive adsorption of dimethyl sulfoxide was registered, on other specimens no adsorption was observed. The reason for this behavior lies in the hydrophobic nature of adsorption of dimethyl sulfoxide at the interface, while the surface of native protein globules and, probably, most denatured protein specimens is hydrophilic.

A Ti-MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieve catalyst was prepared by a hydrothermal method. Nitrogen adsorption desorption, XRD, TEM and SEM characterization results showed that the catalyst had a large specific surface area, a regular hexagonal pore structure, and titanium doping was uniformly dispersed in MCM-41 molecular sieves. The amount of titanium doping, reaction temperature, and the initial solution pH had important effects on the catalytic ozonation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) by Ti-MCM-41.

Polymeric coatings that combine resistance to adhesion ("defending") and killing ("attacking") of biocontaminants were proposed to endow the surface with nonadhesive and bactericidal capabilities. In contrast, a zwitterionic copolymer P(GMA--DMAPS) with antifouling groups ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide, DMAPS) and a zwitterionic/cationic copolymer P(GMA--DMAPS--DMC) with bactericidal groups ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride, DMC) were synthesized, of which the latter exhibited synergistic inhibitory and killing properties. The distinct feed ratios of monomers were conducted, and the optimal molar ratio was obtained.

Wearable microneedle array (MNA) based electrochemical sensors have gained increasing attention for their capability to analyze biomarkers in the interstitial fluid (ISF), enabling noninvasive, continuous monitoring of health parameters. However, challenges such as nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules on the sensor surfaces and the risk of infection at the microneedle penetration sites hinder their practical application. Herein, a wearable dual-layer microneedle patch was prepared to overcome these issues by integrating an antimicrobial microneedle layer with an antifouling sensing layer.

The flea-weevil Korotyaev (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an Eastern Palaearctic Steppe species, and a serious pest of elm trees ( spp., Ulmaceae) by feeding on the leaves (adults) or mining them heavily (larvae) in Xinjiang, China. In order to search for chemical and ecological pest management practices, the olfactory preferences of for leaves of three elm species were investigated.

This study systematically investigated the effect of organic solvent addition on the detection signal intensity of 15 organic pesticides in water using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS). The analysis of chromatographic peak area ratios in ultrapure water (UPW) versus 30% methanol (MeOH)-UPW showed that the adsorption effects (AEs, mainly from injection vials with weaker polarity) were the main factor influencing the detection intensity of the organic pesticides. The AEs varied with pesticide type and concentration, especially for those with high logK values and longer retention times, such as malathion, triadimefon, prometryn, S-metolachlor, diazinon, and profenofos.
