Heterobis imine Schiff base probe L is able to discriminate geometrical isomers (maleic acid vs fumaric acid) through sharp colorimetric as well as fluorogenic responses even conspicuous with the naked eye. Colorimetric as well as fluorogenic sensing of maleic acid among various carboxylic acids was also demonstrated in ethanol-buffer medium. Sensing behavior of L was corroborated by (1)H NMR spectra, mass spectrometry, and theoretical calculations. Subsequently sensing behavior of L was used to probe maleic acid in starch rich food samples.

An imbalance in the body's pH or temperature may modify the immune response and result in ailments such as autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, cancer, or diabetes. Dual pH- and thermo-responsive carriers are being evaluated as advanced drug delivery microdevices designed to release pharmaceuticals in response to external or internal stimuli. A novel drug delivery system formulated as hydrogel was developed by combining a pH-sensitive polymer (the "biosensor") with a thermosensitive polymer (the delivery component).

Membrane proteins (MPs) are critical to cellular processes and serve as essential therapeutic targets. However, their isolation and characterization are often impeded by traditional detergent-based methods, which can compromise their native states, and retention of their native lipid environment. Amphiphilic polymers have emerged as effective alternatives, enabling the formation of nanoscale discs that preserve MPs' structural and functional integrity.

It has been demonstrated that chlorine predominately reacts with phenolic compounds through an electrophilic aromatic substitution, yielding chlorinated phenols. Previous studies showed that copper oxide (CuO), a water pipe corrosion product, can catalytically enhance the reactivity of chlorine and its disproportionation. In this study, kinetics and mechanisms for the reactions of chlorine with phenolic compounds in the presence of CuO were investigated.

The acquisition of ferrous iron (Fe) is crucial for the survival of many pathogenic bacteria living within acidic and/or anoxic conditions such as Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the disease cholera. Bacterial pathogens utilize iron as a cofactor to drive essential metabolic processes, and the primary prokaryotic Fe acquisition mechanism is the ferrous iron transport (Feo) system. In V.

The composition of urinary metabolites can reflect the physiological state of animals. Investigating the alterations in urine metabolomics during the estrus stage can provide valuable insights for enhancing the efficacy of estrus monitoring. This study aimed to perform an analysis of urinary metabolomics in female giant pandas, specifically examining the variations in specific metabolites across different estrous stages, namely, diestrus, proestrus, estrus, and metestrus.
