Interactions of lipases with hydrophobic substrate-water interfaces are of great interest to design improved lipase variants and engineer reaction conditions. This chapter describes the necessary steps to carry out molecular dynamics simulations of Candida antarctica lipase B at tributyrin-water interface using the GROMACS simulation software. Special attention is drawn to the preparation of the protein and the substrate-water interface and to the analysis of the obtained trajectory.

Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) membranes act as selective layers have offered unprecedented opportunities for energy-efficient and cost-effective gas separation. Searching for the green and sustainable synthesis method of dense MOF membrane has received huge attention in both academia and industry. In this work, we demonstrate an in situ electrochemical potential-induced synthesis strategy to aqueously fabricate Metal Azolate Framework-4 (MAF-4) membranes on polypropylene (PP) support.

Control of heterogeneous ice nucleation (HIN) is critical for applications that range from iceophobic surfaces to ice-templated materials. HIN on 2D materials is a particular interesting topic that still lacks extensive experimental investigations. Here, we focus on the HIN on single-layer graphene (SLG) transferred onto different substrates, including silicon, silica, and thermal oxide on silicon.

Bioadhesives derived from biomass are steadily gaining spotlight as substitutes for formaldehyde-based resins in the adhesive industry. However, there is a need to develop novel water-resistant bioadhesives with high adhesive and cohesive strengths because the currently available biomaterial-based adhesives have low mechanical strength. In this study, a complex coacervate was prepared easily by mixing silk fibroin and tannic acid to produce a bioadhesive with high adhesive and cohesive strengths as well as water resistance.

Biofilms are biological viscoelastic gels composed of bacterial cells embedded in a self-secreted polymeric extracellular matrix (ECM). In environmental settings, such as in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere, biofilm colonization occurs at the solid-air interface. The biofilms' ability to colonize and expand over these surfaces depends on the formation of osmotic gradients and ECM viscoelastic properties.

Exploring nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in estuarine ecosystems is of great significance for understanding the nutrient cycle in terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, the ecological functions of common species remain unclear because there is a dearth of observational data. To quantitatively compare the bioturbation effects of the clamworm Perinereis aibuhitensis and crab Macrophthalmus japonicus on the migration of nitrogen and phosphorus in the sediment-pore water-overlying water interfaces, an indoor experiment was carried out using microcosms containing substrate, water, and living specimens collected from the Dagu Estuary, China.
