A natural water sampled after a sand filtration step and spiked with four organic micropollutants (metolachlor ESA, metolachlor NOA, desethylatrazine and metaldehyde) was treated by a loose nanofiltration membrane. The Steric, Electric, and Dielectric model (SEDE model) was then used to predict the separation performance of the membrane towards the various ions and micropollutants in the water matrix in order to study the transport mechanism of ions and micropollutants through the membrane. The SEDE model was found to satisfactorily predict the rejection sequences of inorganic anions and cations, as well as neutral (desethylatrazine and metaldehyde) and charged (metolachlor ESA and metolachlor NOA) micropollutants.

Background: Acetyl phosphate (AcP) is a microbial intermediate involved in the central bacterial metabolism. In bacteria, it also functions as a donor of acetyl and phosphoryl groups in the nonenzymatic protein acetylation and signal transduction. In host, AcP was detected as an intermediate of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, and its appearance in the blood was considered as an indication of mitochondrial breakdown.

The SARS-CoV-2 E protein conducts cations across the cell membrane to cause pathogenicity to infected cells. The high-resolution structures of the E transmembrane domain (ETM) in the closed state at neutral pH and in the open state at acidic pH have been determined. However, the ion conduction mechanism remains elusive.

Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination is a non-negligible global environmental issue as it may threaten food security and human health through soil-plant interactions. Nanomaterials have a great potential to decrease Cd bioavailability and bioaccumulation, even though the effects have been inconsistent among various studies. Here we compiled data from 137 experiments on the remediation of Cd-contaminated soils by nanomaterials.

This study focused on the development of cholesterol-free fusogenic liposomes with different surface charge with the aim of improving biofilm penetration. In vitro assessments of the liposomes included physical stability, biocompatibility, fusion with microbial cells, and the ability to penetrate established biofilms. Using dynamic light scattering, cholesterol-free, fusogenic liposomes were found to be < 200 nm in size with small size distribution (PDI < 0.
