Cyclin D1 has become a potential target for anti-tumor therapy. Recently, a novel human anti‑cyclin D1 single‑chain variable fragment (AD5) was identified, which demonstrated specific binding activity to cyclin D1 and exhibited anti‑tumor effects. However, the detailed characteristics of AD5 remain unclear. In the present study, the structure and activity of AD5 in the presence of copper II (Cu2+) or iron III (Fe3+) metal ions was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence and enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay. Cu2+ and Fe3+ were able to bind to AD5 and quench the fluorescence intensity of AD5 primarily by static quenching, which slightly altered the conformation of AD5 at temperatures of 293, 298 and 303 K; however, these temperatures demonstrated different effects on the activity of AD5. These results may be of value for the clinical application of anti-cyclin D1 single chain antibodies in the future.

Environmental pollution caused by heavy metals are problems worldwide. In particular, pollution and poisoning by lead ions (Pb) continue to be common and serious problems. Hence, there is a need for a widely usable method to easily detect Pb from solutions containing organic materials from environmental water such as seas, ponds, etc.

The high performance of two-dimensional (2D) channel membranes is generally achieved by preparing ultrathin or forming short channels with less tortuous transport through self-assembly of small flakes, demonstrating potential for highly efficient water desalination and purification, gas and ion separation, and organic solvent waste treatment. Here, we report the construction of vertical channels in graphene oxide (GO) membrane based on a substrate template with asymmetric pores. The membranes achieved water permeance of 2647 L m h bar while still maintaining an ultrahigh rejection rate of 99.

Designing efficient Ruthenium-based catalysts as practical anodes is of critical importance in proton exchange membrane water electrolysis. Here, we develop a self-assembly technique to synthesize 1 nm-thick rutile-structured high-entropy oxides (RuIrFeCoCrO) from naked metal ions assembly and oxidation at air-molten salt interface. The RuIrFeCoCrO requires an overpotential of 185 mV at 10 m A cm and maintains the high activity for over 1000 h in an acidic electrolyte via the adsorption evolution mechanism.

The presence of lead ion (Pb) in groundwater poses a serious risk to human health, even at low levels. Therefore, it is essential to develop a new strategy for both selective detection and effective removal of Pb in groundwater, which has been rarely reported. Here, we developed a multi-functional chitosan-based fluorescent sensing membrane (CM-L/CG) by using a casting method for the sensitive/selective detection and removal of Pb in groundwater.

Cellulose composites have exceptional qualities, particularly in removing heavy metal ions. Nevertheless, these materials' poor mechanical qualities and the restricted exposure of surface-active sites reduce the effectiveness of their removal. The removal efficiency of adsorbent materials largely depends on their macroscopic structural characteristics.
