AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores how the co-adsorption of the protein lysozyme and the electrolyte NO(3)(-) on Ag colloid affects SERS signal enhancement.
- Key experimental factors examined include the concentrations of lysozyme and NO(3)(-) as well as the drying temperature, revealing that these conditions can influence adsorption behavior.
- The findings suggest that the adsorption mechanism aligns with double-layer behavior at solid/liquid interfaces, and changes in protein structure can impact how these substances interact, regardless of the order in which they are added.
Article Abstract
Protein detection using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) usually requires electrolytes to yield an enhanced SERS signal. However, the adsorption mechanism of electrolyte and protein to Ag colloid is not yet clearly understood. In this work, we have investigated co-adsorption of NO(3)(-) and lysozyme to Ag colloid using SERS. Three experimental factors including concentration of lysozyme (10(-5) and 10(-6) M), concentration of NO(3)(-) (0, 1, 2, 3 and 5 mM) and drying temperature (25 and 100 degrees C) have been studied. The results have shown that the co-adsorption of the adsorbates (lysozyme and NO(3)(-)) on a SERS substrate and the non-absorption of NO(3)(-) on the substrate can be controlled by using different experimental conditions. The co-adsorption manner of lysozyme and NO(3)(-) is consistent with the mechanism of double-layer adsorbates when a protein adsorbs on a solid/liquid interface. The variation in protein conformation, especially the main-chain conformation, seems to affect the adsorption manner of the adsorbates. It has been found that the final adsorption result is not affected by the addition sequence of lysozyme and NO(3)(-) during the sample preparation.

The impact of environmental factors on the health of the endangered Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) and the potential hazards associated with sample collection for health monitoring pose urgent need to its conservation. In this study, Chinese sturgeons were selected from indoor and outdoor environments to evaluate metabolic and tissue damage indicators, along with a non-specific immune enzyme in fish mucus. Additionally, the microbiota of both water bodies and fish mucus were determined using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing.

High-resolution crystal structures of lysozyme in the presence of the potential drug V O(acetylacetonato) under two different experimental conditions have been solved. The crystallographic study reveals the loss of the ligands, the oxidation of V to V and the subsequent formation of adducts of the protein with two different polyoxidovanadates: [V O ] , which interacts with lysozyme non-covalently, and the unprecedented [V O (NO )] , which is covalenty bound to the side chain of an aspartate residue of symmetry related molecules.

Nitrate (NO) pollution of waterbodies has attracted significant global attention as it poses a serious threat to aquatic organisms and human beings. This study aimed to evaluate the role of NO, an end product of biological nitrification processes, in immune status and lipid metabolism to have a comprehensive understanding of its toxic effects on fishes. Therefore, in this work, juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) were subjected to four nominal concentrations of NO (i.

Airborne bacteria that nucleate ice at relatively warm temperatures (>-10°C) can interact with cloud water droplets, affecting the formation of ice in clouds and the residency time of the cells in the atmosphere. We sampled 65 precipitation events in southeastern Louisiana over 2 years to examine the effect of season, meteorological conditions, storm type, and ecoregion source on the concentration and type of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) deposited. INPs sensitive to heat treatment were inferred to be biological in origin, and the highest concentrations of biological INPs (∼16,000 INPs liter active at ≥-10°C) were observed in snow and sleet samples from wintertime nimbostratus clouds with cloud top temperatures as warm as -7°C.
