Surface molecular imprinting, as compared to molecular imprinted bulk polymers, has the advantages of higher re-occupation percentage of the reception sites, fast response, integration of sensing element and transducer, etc. In this study, a potentiometric protein sensor was developed based on the surface molecular imprinting technique. Using the self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiol with hydroxyl terminal groups as the matrix material, and target protein molecules as the template, the sensing layer was created on the surface of the gold-coated silicon chip-an electrochemical transducer. Potentiometric measurement demonstrated that the sensor could selectively detect myoglobin or hemoglobin molecules, either with or without the presence of other protein molecules in the same solution.

The diversity and heterogeneity of biomarkers has made the development of general methods for single-step quantification of analytes difficult. For individual biomarkers, electrochemical methods that detect a conformational change in an affinity binder upon analyte binding have shown promise. However, because the conformational change must operate within a nanometer-scale working distance, an entirely new sensor, with a unique conformational change, must be developed for each analyte.

Many bacteria swim in liquid or swarm on surface using the flagellum rotated by a motor driven by specific ion flow. The motor consists of the rotor and stator, and the stator converts the energy of ion flow to mechanical rotation. However, the ion pathway and the mechanism of stator rotation coupled with specific ion flow are still obscure.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque accumulation, and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. Recent efforts to find effective therapies have increased interest in natural compounds with multifaceted effects on AD pathology. This study explores natural compounds for their potential to mitigate AD pathology using molecular docking, ADME screening, and assays, with ruscogenin─a steroidal sapogenin from emerging as a promising candidate.

Paramyxoviruses are significant human and animal pathogens that include mumps virus (MuV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and the murine parainfluenza virus Sendai (SeV). Despite their importance, few host factors implicated in paramyxovirus infection are known. Using a recombinant SeV expressing destabilized eGFP (rSeVCdseGFP) in a loss-of-function CRISPR screen, we identified the CMP-sialic acid transporter (CST) gene SLC35A1 and the UDP-galactose transporter (UGT) gene SLC35A2 as essential for paramyxovirus infection.

With the advancement of genetic code expansion, the field is progressing towards incorporating multiple non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs). The specificity of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) towards ncAAs is a critical factor, as engineered aaRSs frequently show polyspecificity, complicating the precise incorporation of multiple ncAAs. To address this challenge, predicting binding affinity can be beneficial.
