The competitive adsorption processes inevitably present in chromatographic separations of complex mixtures have not been extensively studied. This is partly due to the difficulty of measuring true competitive isotherms, in which all system parameters (including competitor concentrations) are held constant. We report a novel approach to determining competitive protein adsorption isotherms in which the competitor concentration is held constant across the entire isotherm. By using the heme prosthetic group in cytochrome b5 as a quantitative spectrophotometric label, competitive isotherms between cytochrome b5 and alpha-lactalbumin can be constructed. Similarly, manganese-substituted protoporphyrin IX heme replacement allows the non-perturbing labeling of individual cytochrome b5 conservative surface charge mutants by replacement of a single atom in the interior of the protein. This labeling allows the study of competition between cytochrome b5 charge mutants of identical size and shape, which differ only in charge arrangement. Using these techniques, the effect of competing species on equilibrium behavior and the apparent heterogeneity of anion-exchange adsorbents in the presence of competitors can be quantitatively studied by fitting the data to two popular single-component binding models, the Temkin and the Langmuir-Freundlich (L-F) isotherms.

The remediation of wastewaters contaminated with dyes (discharged mainly from industry) is very important for preserving environmental quality and human health. In this study, a new composite chitosan (CS)-based adsorbent combined with activated carbon (AC) and curcumin (Cur) (abbreviated hereafter as CS/AC@Cur) in three different ratios (12.5%, 25%, and 50%) was synthesized for the removal of anionic [reactive black 5 (RB5)] and cationic [methylene blue (MB)] dyes in single-component or binary systems.

This work introduces the Adsorption Energy Distribution (AED) calculation using competitive adsorption isotherm data, enabling investigation of the simultaneous AED of two components for the first time. The AED provides crucial insights by visualizing competitive adsorption processes, offering an alternative adsorption isotherm model without prior assuming adsorption heterogeneity, and assisting in model selection for more accurate retention mechanistic modeling. The competitive AED enhances our understanding of multicomponent interactions on stationary phases, which is crucial for understanding how analytes compete on the stationary phase surface and for selecting adsorption models for numerical optimization of preparative chromatography.

Isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques are promising alternatives to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for amplifying and detecting nucleic acids under resource-limited conditions. While many isothermal amplification strategies, such as recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), offer comparable sensitivity to PCR, they often lack the specificity and robustness for discriminating single nucleotide variants (SNVs), mainly due to the uncontrolled production of massive amplicons. Herein, we introduce a mismatch-guided DNA assembly (MGDA) approach capable of discriminating SNVs in the presence of high concentrations of wild-type (WT) interferences.

Antibiotics are emerging environmental contaminants posing critical health risks due to their tendency to concentrate in living things and eventually infiltrate the human body. Sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) is among the commonly detected antibiotics in wastewater requiring effective removal approach. A sustainable, thermally stable and easily separable magnetic sporopollenin-cellulose triacetate (Msp-CTA) was developed via a simple step synthesis for eliminating SMZ from aqueous solution.

Ferrihydrite (Fh), a widely distributed mineral in the environment, plays a crucial role in the geochemical cycling of elements. This study used experimental and computational approaches to investigate the adsorption behavior of seven heavy metal ions on Fh. The pH edge analysis revealed that the adsorption capacity followed the order: Pb > Cu > Zn > Cd > Ni > Co > Mn, with Pb showed the highest adsorption.
