A novel strategy for AFB1 detection in grains was proposed based on DNA tetrahedron-structured probe (DTP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) triggered polyaniline (PANI) deposition. Briefly, the DNA tetrahedron nanostructures were assembled on the gold electrode, with carboxylic group designed on top vertex of them. The carboxylic group was conjugated with the AFB1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) to form DTP. The test sample and a known fixed concentration of HRP-labeled AFB1 were mixed and they compete for binding to DTP. The HRP assembled on the gold electrode catalyzed the polymerization of aniline on DTP. AFB1 in grains could be determined by using PANI as electrochemical signal molecules. Interestingly, DNA tetrahedron-structure, which has mechanical rigidity and structural stability, can improve antigen-antibody specific recognition and binding efficiency through the use of mAb ordered assembly. Meanwhile, nucleic acid backbone with a large amount of negative charge is good template for aniline polymerization under mild conditions.

Partially Bonded Crystals: A Pathway to Porosity and Polymorphism.

In recent years, experimental and theoretical investigations have shown that anisotropic colloids can self-organize into ordered porous monolayers, where the interplay of localized bonding sites, so-called patches, with the particle's shape is responsible for driving the systems away from close-packing and toward porosity. Until now it has been assumed that patchy particles have to be fully bonded with their neighboring particles for crystals to form, and that, if full bonding cannot be achieved due to the choice of patch placement, disordered assemblies will form instead. In contrast, we show that by deliberately displacing the patches such that full bonding is disfavored, a different route to porous crystalline monolayers emerges, where geometric frustration and partial bonding are decisive process.

Controlling the motion of molecular machines to influence higher-order structures is well-established in biological systems but remains a significant challenge for synthetic analogs. Herein, we aim to harness the mechanical switching of switchable molecular tweezers to modulate their self-assembly and produce stimuli-responsive organogels. We report a series of terpy(Pt-salphen) molecular tweezers functionalized with alkyl chains that act as low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs) in their open conformation.

Lispe represents a species-rich genus within the family Muscidae. The current subdivision of Lispe species into species groups is based mainly on adult morphology and ecology, with the only available phylogenetic study based on three molecular markers. Nonetheless, certain species groups remain unclear and the relationships and composition of these groups are still unresolved.

Mercury (II) ion (Hg) as highly toxic heavy metal may be accumulated in aquatic ecosystems and animals species so as to enter human body to conduct health harm. To ensure the safety of fishes food, hence, it is of great interest to evaluate the Hg levels in different kinds of fishes as well as Hg removal in aquaculture tailwater. In this article, a selective colormetric detection and efficient removal strategy has been developed for Hg ions by the controlled supermolecular self-assembly of melamine (MA)-platinum (Pt) composites onto mesoporous FeO carriers.

In the highly competitive, perennially-changing healthcare industry, management prowess is vitally needed by those in positions of authority, but in isolation it is insufficient for delivering optimal results. Instead, management proficiencies must be complemented by leadership skills which amplify managerial efforts and outcomes. One avenue for building leadership acumen in healthcare organizations involves the establishment of leadership development programs.
