Article Abstract
Rationale: Cleavage of peptide bonds C-terminal to tyrosine and tryptophan after electrochemical oxidation may become a complementary approach to chemical and enzymatic cleavage. A chemical labeling approach specifically targeting reactive cleavage products is presented here and constitutes a promising first step towards the development of a new proteomics workflow.
Methods: Hexylamine was used to react with the spirolactone moieties generated after electrochemical oxidation and cleavage of tripeptides. The influence of pH and reaction time on the yield was determined and the excess of tagging reagent was optimized. Selective detection of the tagged cleavage products was achieved by precursor ion scanning in a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.
Results: Optimal labeling was reached under aqueous conditions when working at pH 10 with a reaction time of 0.5 min. The excess of hexylamine over spirolactone groups can be significantly decreased by working under non-aqueous conditions in pure acetonitrile to prevent spirolactone hydrolysis. The specific formation of hexylamine-containing y(1) reporter ions generated by collision-induced dissociation (CID) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) allows for selective detection by precursor ion scanning of the cleaved and labeled peptides.
Conclusions: This work presents a method for selective labeling and detection of electrochemically cleaved Tyr- and Trp-containing peptides for which reaction conditions have been optimized with hexylamine as labeling agent. This workflow offers new possibilities for electrochemical oxidation, cleavage and labeling of peptides and proteins.

Surface engineering is sought to stabilize nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes in high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries, which suffer from severe surface oxygen loss and rapid structure degradation, especially during deep delithiation at high voltages or high temperatures. Here, we propose a well-designed oxygen-constraining strategy to address the crisis of oxygen evolution. By integrating a La, Fe gradient diffusion layer and a LaFeO coating into the Ni-rich layered particles, along with incorporating an antioxidant binder into the electrodes, three progressive lines of defense are constructed: immobilizing the lattice oxygen at the subsurface, blocking the released oxygen at the interface, and capturing the residual singlet oxygen on the external surface.

Electrolysis of -alkynyl--(formyl)anilides and sodium sulfinates on graphite electrodes delivers biologically sound 3-(sulfonyl)quinol-4-ones with moderate to good yields. The reaction is carried out in an undivided cell in the presence of silver(I) oxide with potassium iodide or sodium tetrafluoroborate as the supporting electrolyte. The reaction tolerates variously substituted anilides as well as aryl and alkyl sulfinates.

Monitoring HO levels in live cells is essential due to its superior stability and possible severity inside the cell. The quest for a superior platform capable of detecting cellular-level hydrogen peroxide (HO) concentrations without necessitating the use of high-cost enzymes is of utmost importance. Here, the quantification of intracellular HO concentrations has been performed using silver metal polymer-based nonenzymatic electrochemical detection.

Electrochemical oxidation process (EOP) is promising for micropollutant degradation in water treatment, where chloride ions (Cl) are inevitable in aqueous systems, leading to the EOP/Cl system. The oxidation of Cl at anodes generates reactive chlorine species (RCS), including heterogeneous chlorine species (Cl), homogeneous free available chlorine (FAC), chlorine dioxide (ClO), and chlorine radicals (CRs). This study developed a method to differentiate various RCS responsible for the removal of carbamazepine in EOP/Cl using the RuO/IrO-Ti anode.

Copper and its alloys with transition metals (as good conductors of electricity and heat) are extensively used in electrical industry, electronics, and cooling systems and can be the subject of surface degradation by oxidation. In certain circumstances, surface degradation of copper occurs catastrophically. Predicting catastrophic oxidation kinetics and developing protective technology require understanding the mass transfer mechanisms in the solid/liquid/gas composite scale formed on the copper surface during catastrophic degradation.
