Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been developed as a transfusion alternative and oxygen therapy. The Hb source is usually outdated donated human blood or cow blood obtained from cattle industries because of its abundance. This study examined the feasibility of using swine Hb ((S)Hb) for preparation of cellular-type HBOCs, hemoglobin-vesicles (HbV). Purification of (S)Hb from fresh swine whole blood was conducted with processes including carbonylation ((S)HbO(2) --> (S)HbCO), pasteurization (60 °C, 15 hours) and tangential flow ultrafiltration, with yield of 90%. Actually, differential scanning calorimetric analysis showed a denaturation temperature of (S)HbCO at 83 °C and assures its stability during pasteurization. Concentrated (S)HbCO together with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) as an allosteric effector was encapsulated in phospholipid vesicles to prepare (S)HbV. After decarbonylation ((S)HbCO --> (S)HbO(2)), the oxygen affinity (P(50)) of (S)Hb changes mainly by PLP, and the influence of Cl(-) was small, in a manner similar to that of human Hb ((H)Hb). However, after encapsulation, vesicles of (S)HbV showed much lower oxygen affinity (higher P(50)) than (H)HbV did. Autoxidation of (S)HbV was slightly faster than (H)HbV. Although some differences are apparent in oxygen affinity and autoxidation rates, results clarified that (S)Hb is useful as a starting material for HbV production.

Constructing a built-in electric field (BIEF) within heterostructures has emerged as a compelling strategy for advancing electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Herein, the p-n type nanosheet array heterojunction NiP-NCDs-Co(OH)-NF are successfully prepared. The variation in interaction affinity between nitrogen within N-doped carbon dots (NCDs) and Ni/Co induces charge redistribution between Co and Ni in the NiP-NCDs-Co(OH)-NF-3 heterostructure, thereby enhancing the intensity of the BIEF, facilitating electron transfer, and markedly improving OER activity.

As an efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly semiconductor material, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can generate hydrogen peroxide (HO) by photocatalysis, attracting wide attention in recent years. Herein, the effects of hydroxyl, methoxyl, and vinyl groups of imide-linked two-dimensional (2D) COFs on the photocatalytic production of HO were studied theoretically and experimentally. The introduction of vinyl groups greatly promotes the photogenerated charge separation and migration of COFs, providing more oxygen adsorption sites, stronger proton affinity, and lower intermediate binding energy, which effectively facilitates the rapid conversion of oxygen to HO.

Sunlight irradiation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface water results in the production of photochemically produced reactive intermediates (PPRIs). This process is inevitably influenced by co-existing metal ions in aquatic environments; However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the effect of co-existing copper ion (Cu) on PPRIs produced by irradiation of DOM was systematically investigated, because Cu is a typical redox transient cation and has strong affinity to DOM.

The rare metal element molybdenum functions as a cofactor in molybdoenzymes that are essential to life in almost all living things. Molybdate can be captured by the periplasmic substrate-binding protein ModA of ModABC transport system in bacteria. We demonstrate that ModA plays crucial roles in growth, multiple metabolic pathways, and ROS tolerance in .
