Polysorbate 80, as pharmaceutical excipient and virus inactivating agent, is commonly used in the protein pharmaceutical industry. In this study, a method has been developed for the determination of low concentration of Polysorbate 80 in the presence of high concentration proteins (≤100 mg/ml) and excipients. This colorimetric method is based on the interaction of Polysorbate 80 and Coomassie brilliant blue, and suitable for quantitation of Polysorbate 80 in the range of 10-100 μg/ml. Dozens or hundreds of samples can be quantified simultaneously by using microplate. Besides Polysorbate 80, this method can also be used to determine other types of surfactants in protein solutions, such as Polysorbate 20, Triton X-100, NP40, SDS, Benzalkonium chloride/bromide and PEG4000.

Laccases are of particular interest in addressing environmental challenges, such as the degradation of triphenylmethane (TPM) dyes, including crystal violet (CV) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB), which are commonly used in SDS-PAGE for protein visualization. However, these dyes present significant environmental concerns due to their resistance to degradation, which makes their removal from industrial wastewater a major challenge. To address this, the current study investigates the potential of a novel CotA laccase derived from Bacillus sp.

Depression is a mental health disorder and is the fourth most prevalent disease. Previous studies have suggested that statins are involved in the reduction of neuroinflammation. However, the potential mechanism for this relationship is unclear.

Several neurodegenerative diseases are associated with the deposition of amyloid fibrils. Although these diseases are irreversible, knowing the aggregation mechanism is useful in developing drugs that can arrest or decrease the aggregation rate. In this study, we are interested in investigating the effect of Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB G-250) on the aggregation of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) at pH 7.

The efficient removal of dyes is of significant importance for environmental purification and human health. In this study, a novel material (Si-MPTS-IL) has been synthesized by the immobilization of imidazole ionic liquids (ILs) onto nano-silica using the radiation grafting technique. The adsorption performance of Si-MPTS-IL for Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) removal is studied by a series of static adsorption experiments.

The Type V secretion system, or "autotransporter", is a secretion system that enables bacteria to directly export proteins from the cell interior to the extracellular membrane. mCherry is a second-generation monomeric red fluorescent protein that has an improvement in photostability compared to the first generation of RFP. In this research, we conducted the fusion of the mRFP into the C-terminal domain of EhaA - the translocation domain of the autotransporter protein transport system - to investigate the expression of mRFP on the surface of a model organism commonly utilized in recombinant protein research.
