Aptamer conformations are susceptible to environmental conditions, which makes it difficult to achieve stable targets detection in complex environments with aptasensors. Imprinting strategy was proposed to immobilize the specific conformation of aptamers, aiming to enhance their recognition anti-interference. However, it is mechanistically unclear how the imprinted polymers affect aptamers' recognition, which limits application of the strategy.

Covalently branched DNA molecules are hybrid structures where a small molecule core is covalently linked to different DNA strands. They merge the programmability of DNA nanotechnology with synthetic molecules' functionality, offering enhanced stability over their non-covalent counterparts like double-crossover tiles. They enable the efficient assembly of stable DNA nanostructures with new geometries and functionalities.

Electrochemical water oxidation holds immense potential for sustainable energy generation, splitting water into clean-burning hydrogen and life-giving oxygen. However, a key roadblock lies in the sluggish nature of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Finding stable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly catalysts with high OER efficiency is crucial to unlock this technology's full potential.

Article Synopsis
  • Short peptide assemblies that form supramolecular hydrogels are stabilized by noncovalent interactions among amino acid side chains, with a focus on the role of hydrogen bonds from side chains over aromatic π-π interactions.
  • Research on Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-functionalized peptides showed that certain substitutions significantly impacted minimum gelation concentrations (MGC), identifying Syn-N and Syn-Q as super hydrogelators.
  • The study concluded that asparagine enhances hydrogelation through effective hydrogen bonding with water, while glutamine's efficiency is reduced due to its longer side chain potentially disrupting hydrogen bond networks.

The presence of pharmaceuticals as microcontaminants in the environment has become of particular concern given the growing increase in water reuse and recycling to promote global sustainability of this resource. Pharmaceuticals can often undergo reversible interactions with soluble dissolved organic material such as humic acid, which may be an important factor in determining the bioavailability and effects of these compounds in the environment. In this study, high-performance affinity microcolumns containing non-covalently entrapped and immobilized humic acid are used to examine the binding strength and interactions of this agent for tetracycline, carbamazepine, ciprofloxacin, and norfloxacin, all common pharmaceutical microcontaminants known to bind humic acid.
