Enrichment strategies are designed for the pretreatment of low-abundance glycans and glycopeptides prior to mass spectrometric (MS) analysis. Here, a tip-based strategy is being reported for the enrichment of glycopeptides and glycans using a piperazine modified polymeric monolithic tip. The tip is fabricated using the free radical polymerization. Fast separation (2 min) is achieved under optimized conditions with 20 cycles per step of loading, incubation, washing, and elution followed by MALDI-MS analysis. A total of 25, 22, and 34 glycopeptides covering all glycosylation sites are enriched by the modified tips from tryptic digests of horse radish peroxidase, chicken avidin, and human immunoglobulin G, respectively. Piperazine exhibits high selectivity 1:400 horse radish peroxidase/bovine serum albumin, sensitivity to 100 attomoles, recovery 89.51%, and batch to batch reproducibility (RSD > 1) in glycopeptides enrichment. Piperazine tips also enrich glycans from ovalbumin and human immunoglobulin G. High selectivity (1:1200, ovalbumin/BSA) and detection limit of 100 attomole is attained for glycans and furthermore 58 glycans are enriched from human serum. Thus, piperazine tips can be used as an enrichment tool for swift, cost-effective routine analysis of biological samples for separation of glycopeptides and glycans.

In this study, new monolithic poly(9-anthracenylmethyl methacrylate-co-trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) columns, referred as ANM monoliths were prepared, for the first time, and were used for the separation media for biomolecules and proteomics analysis by nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC). Monolithic columns were prepared by in situ polymerization of 9-anthracenylmethyl methacrylate (ANM) and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) in a fused silica capillary column of 100 µm ID. Polymerization solution was optimized in relation to monomer and porogenic solvent.

The release of microcystin (MCs) in aquatic ecosystems poses a substantial risk to the safety of irrigation and drinking water. In view of the challenges associated with monitoring MCs in water bodies, given their low concentration levels (μg/L to ng/L) and the presence of diverse matrix interferences, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient, cost-effective and selective enrichment technique for MCs prior to its quantification. In this work, a gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-functionalized zwitterionic polymer monolith was described and further applied for the affinity enrichment of MCs.

Ultra-Stiff yet Super-Elastic Graphene Aerogels by Topological Cellular Hierarchy.

MOE Key Laboratory of Macromolecular Synthesis and Functionalization, International Research Center for X Polymers, Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, 38 Zheda Road, Hangzhou, 310027, China.

Lightweight cellular materials with high stiffness and excellent recoverability are critically important in structural engineering applications, but the intrinsic conflict between these two properties presents a significant challenge. Here, a topological cellular hierarchy is presented, designed to fabricate ultra-stiff (>10 MPa modulus) yet super-elastic (>90% recoverable strain) graphene aerogels. This topological cellular hierarchy, composed of massive corrugated pores and nanowalls, is designed to carry high loads through predominantly reversible buckling within the honeycomb framework.
