The combination of an enzyme-based biosensor and alkaline hydrolysis was developed for the measurement of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). The principle of the determination is based on that the alkaline condition converts PHB to produce its monomer, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-HB), which generates a detectable current signal by an amperometric biosensor through coupled two-enzyme reactions on an electrode. This method takes less than 40 min, and results in a linear detection range of 0.5-110 mg L-1 PHB with a detection limit of 0.3 mg L-1 by the saturated production of 3-HB; it can also take less than 15 min and result in a linear detection range of 1.0-160 mg L-1 PHB with a detection limit of 0.5 mg L-1 by a part production of 3-HB. The method also shows simple operation and high reproducibility.

Proximity labeling (PL) has emerged as a powerful technique for the in situ elucidation of biomolecular interaction networks. However, PL methods generally rely on single-biological-hierarchy control of spatial localization at the labeling site, which limits their application in multi-tiered biological systems. Here, we introduced another enzymatic reaction upstream of an enzyme-based PL reaction and targeted the two enzymes to markers indicating different biological hierarchies, establishing a two-level spatially localized proximity labeling (P2L) platform for in situ molecular measurement and manipulation.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces CoNSA-POase, an artificial peroxygenase made from single-atom cobalt supported on polymeric carbon nitrogen, which shows excellent performance in converting aromatic alkanes to ketones.
- Density functional theory indicates that this artificial enzyme operates via a different catalytic mechanism compared to natural peroxygenases.
- The integration of CoNSA-POase with other enzymes in continuous-flow systems enhances the efficient production of chiral alcohols and amines, suggesting potential advancements in enzyme-based applications.

Trichlorfon (TCF) is a widely used organophosphate pesticide whose inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) results in neurotoxicity and significant biosafety risks. Addressing these concerns requires effective strategies to mitigate TCF-induced toxicity and safeguard exposed organisms. In this study, we explored the potential of a catalytic activity enhanced Culex pipiens AChE mutant to mitigate TCF-induced cytotoxicity through rational design.

Lactate measurements provide an opportunity to conveniently evaluate bodily functions and sports performance. A molecularly imprinted fluorescence biochip provides an innovative way to achieve lactate measurement and overcomes the limitations of enzyme-based sensors. To realize this goal, ZnO quantum dots (QDs), a biocompatible sensing material, were combined with selective receptors comprised of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs).

Plasma membrane proteins play pivotal roles in receiving and transducing signals from other cells and from the environment and are vital for cellular functionality. Enzyme-based, proximity-dependent approaches, such as biotin identification (BioID), combined with mass spectrometry have begun to illuminate the landscape of proximal protein interactions within intracellular compartments. To extend the potential of these approaches to study the extracellular environment, we developed extracellular TurboID (ecTurboID), a method designed to profile the interactions between proteins on the surfaces of living cells over short timescales using the fast-acting biotin ligase TurboID.
