A quantitative, one-step, competitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based immunoassay for the determination of a fully human, anti-TNFalpha monoclonal antibody in human serum has been developed. A biotinylated, mouse anti-variable region-specific antibody and a ruthenium-labeled anti-TNFalpha antibody were the only specific reagents needed to develop the assay. A single incubation step of 2 h followed by ECL detection was used. The assay was capable of measuring the analyte in neat serum over approximately a 1600-fold range with higher concentrations measured following a single dilution. Assay accuracy, precision, and reproducibility were suitable to support pharmacokinetic studies of the analyte. This competitive assay format offers an alternative approach to the development of immunoassays for the measurement of macromolecules in complex matrices to support preclinical and clinical studies.

Homogeneous analysis techniques offer several advantages as alternatives to heterogeneous immunoassays, such as simplicity and rapidity. In this study, a visual homogeneous immunoassay without a labeling process was developed based on target-induced steric hindrance to regulate competitive recognition mechanism. Specifically, as the analyte concentration varies, the change of microenvironment based on steric hindrance could affect the recognition of Cu by signal probes.

Variable selection is important in spectral analysis for improving interpretation quality and accuracy. This study introduces a novel variable selection process, named "VMHBSC", which consists of six steps, with each letter representing one step. To demonstrate its process and advantages, two datasets were employed, a mid-infrared spectral (MIR) dataset (234 × 7468, sample number × variables) of Chenpi samples (a traditional Chinese medicinal material derived from the dried peel of mature tangerines) and a near-infrared spectral (NIR) dataset (16000 × 256) for modeling competition.

General procedures for the rhodium-catalyzed annulation of aryl/heteroaryl -pivaloyl hydroxamic acids and norbornadiene have been developed. Employing norbornadiene as an acetylene equivalent enables utilization of diverse heterocyclic substrates for this transformation which fail to react or undergo competitive Lossen rearrangement under previously reported conditions. Microwave heating significantly reduces reaction times compared to conventional protocols and allows a one-step process to be realized.

The chemical industry can now seize the opportunity to improve the sustainability of its processes by replacing fossil carbon sources with renewable alternatives such as CO, biomass, and plastics, thereby thinking ahead and having a look into the future. For their conversion to intermediate and final products, different types of catalysts-microbial, enzymatic, and organometallic-can be applied. The first part of this review shows how these catalysts can work separately in parallel, each route with unique requirements and advantages.
