AI Article Synopsis

  • The study introduced PMS-8-QBA, a phosphorescent molecular switch that initially emits weak room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) but increases significantly when it interacts with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and alkaline phosphatase (AP).
  • After forming a specific product through these reactions, PMS-8-QBA can be used in a sensitive and accurate detection method for AP, which is vital for identifying trace amounts of this enzyme in serum samples related to human diseases.
  • This research not only highlights the potential clinical applications of PMS-8-QBA in diagnostic techniques but also contributes to advancements in the field of molecular switches and their analytical uses.

Article Abstract

The 8-quinolineboronic acid phosphorescent molecular switch (abbreviated as PMS-8-QBA. Thereinto, 8-QBA is 8-quinolineboronic acid, and PMS is phosphorescent molecular switch) was found for the first time. PMS-8-QBA, which was in the "off" state, could only emit weak room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) on the acetyl cellulose membrane (ACM). However, PMS-8-QBA turned "on" automatically for its changed structure, causing that the RTP of 8-QBA in the system increased, after PMS-8-QBA-WGA (WGA is wheat germ agglutinin) was formed by reaction between -OH of PMS-8-QBA and -COOH of WGA. More interesting is that the -NH(2) of PMS-8-QBA-WGA could react with the -COOH of alkaline phosphatase (AP) to form the affinity adsorption (AA) product WGA-AP-WGA-8-QBA-PMS (containing -NH-CO- bond), which caused RTP of the system to greatly increase. Thus, affinity adsorption solid substrate room temperature phosphorimetry using PMS-8-QBA as labelling reagent (PMS-8-QBA-AA-SSRTP) for the determination of trace AP was established. The method had many advantages, such as high sensitivity (the detection limit (LD) was 2.5zgspot(-1). For sample volume of 0.40mulspot(-1), corresponding concentration was 6.2x10(-18)gml(-1)), good selectivity (the allowed concentration of coexisting material was higher, when the relative error was +/-5%), high accuracy (applied to detection of AP content in serum samples, the result was coincided with those obtained by enzyme-linked immunoassay), which was suitable for the detection of trace AP content in serum samples and the forecast of human diseases. Meanwhile, the mechanism of PMS-8-QBA-AASSRTP was discussed. The new field of analytical application and clinic diagnosis technique of molecule switch are exploited, based on the phosphorescence characteristic of PMS-8-QBA, the AA reaction between WGA and AP, as well as the relation between AP content and human diseases. The research results promote the development and interpenetrate among molecule switch technique, lectin science and SSRTP.

The adsorption of small organic molecules on pristine VC MXene and its derivatives is investigated by first-principles density functional theory calculations. By employing state-of-the-art van der Waals (vdW) density functionals, the binding affinity of studied molecules, , CH, CO, and HO on MXene adsorbents is well described by more recent vdW functionals, , SCAN-rvv10. Although both CH and CO are nonpolar molecules, on pristine and oxygen-vacancy surfaces, they show a different range of adsorption energies, in which CH is more inert and has weaker binding than CO.

Synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) materials with antibacterial and biocompatible properties have potential for biomedical applications. The application of various computational methods is highly relevant for the optimal development of modern materials. In this work, we used molecular docking to determine the binding constants of tetracycline (TET) and quercetin (QUE) with hydroxyapatite and compared them to experimental data of the adsorption of tetracycline (TET) and quercetin (QUE) on the HA surface.

Al(III)-based adsorbents have a strong affinity for F, but suffer from problems such as poor structural stability, easy decomposition, and recycling difficulties in the powdered form. Herein, for the efficient removal of F from wastewater, magnetic chitosan/AlOOH/polyethyleneimine (MCAlP) adsorbents with a hierarchical porous structure, multifunctional groups, and structural stability were constructed through chelation, cross-linking, and immobilization strategies using chitosan as a carrier. The adsorption capacity of MCAlP for F was found to be 14.

It is very challenging to prepare carbon dots (CDs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property for simultaneous sensitive sensing and efficient removal. Herein, blue-emission CDs were facilely prepared by one-step solvothermal treatment of vine tea. Optical characterizations demonstrated that AIE phenomenon of CDs came from the restricted intramolecular motion.
