The considered host materials are well suited to confine quasi-(1d) molecular phases, seeing that their porosities are composed of parallel unconnected cylindrical pores. For such a simple geometry, confinement effects can be simply described by a single parameter, the pore diameter phi. Our study concerns medium and ultra confinement ranges ( 40 A >or= Ø >or= 7.3 A). The primary effect of such confinements is the decrease of the molecular interactions within the confined phase. As a consequence, we have observed strong triple point depressure Delta T(3t) effects for hydrogen and water confined phases in MCM-41 samples. In the limit case of (1d) phase (the neopentane/AlPO(4)-5 system) it seems that a molecular mobility is observed even at very low temperature T=5 K. The secondary confinement effect is an increase of the interactions between the host inner surface and the confined molecular assembly induced by the pore diameter decreasing. Such host material influence gives rise, for medium range confinement to the physisorption of a curved solid film on the inner surface before the capillary phase condensation (hydrogen/MCM-41 (24 A)) and for ultra confinement to the solidification of the confined phase when the molecular species are commensurate with the inner surface sites (methane/AlPO(4)-5).

Cell membranes contain multiple charged lipids that bind proteins dynamically and their spatial organization on the inner/outer membrane leaflet, or in spatially localized areas has considerable biological importance. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) proteins and their roles as electrostatic switches are one example covered. Cell surface charge needs to be monitored and regulated continually and the roles of lipid flippases and scramblases and their electrical regulation also are considered.

The development of efficient immobilization support for the enhancement of enzyme activity and recyclability is a highly desirable objective. Single-crystalline ordered macro-microporous ZIF-8 (SOM-ZIF-8), has emerged as a highly effective matrix for enzyme immobilization, however, the inherent hydrophobic nature limits its further advancement. Herein, we have customized the immobilization of the Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (LP) in the modification-channels of SOM-ZIF-8 by functionalizing the inner surface-properties with polyethylene glycol (PEG) (LP@SOM-ZIF-8-PEG), and significant enhancement of the activity and (thermal, solvent and cyclic) stability can be realized.

Phenolic acid-chitosan derivatives have received extensive attention due to their greatly enhanced mechanical, antibacterial and antioxidant properties, especially in food preservation. The chitosan-gentianic acid (CS-g-GA) was prepared and its impact on myofibrillar proteins (MPs) in sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) during refrigerated storage was investigated in this study. Fish fillets were immersed in distilled water, CS, GA and CS-g-GA solutions, respectively, followed by an 18-day refrigerated storage.
