We demonstrate how different anions from across the Hofmeister series can influence the behavior of enzyme-mediated dynamic combinatorial libraries of cyclodextrins (CDs). Using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase to catalyze reversible transglycosylation, dynamic mixtures of interconverting cyclodextrins can be formed wherein the relative concentrations of α-CD, β-CD and γ-CD is determined by their intrinsic stabilities and any stabilizing influences of added template (guest) molecules. Here, we find that addition of high concentrations of kosmotropic anions can be used to enhance the effects of added hydrophobic templates, while chaotropic anions can themselves act as templates, causing predictable and significant changes in the cyclodextrin composition due to weak, but specific, binding interactions with α-CD.

Anions have more pronounced effect on the aggregation power of proteins than cations. Herein, the effect of different types of anions on rice glutelin (RG) based fibrils formation was investigated. The fibrils yield and growth rate of RG were enhanced with various anions, due to the specific ions effect and intermolecular interaction.

Organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) have garnered significant attention due to their capacity to transport both ions and electrons, making them ideal for applications in energy storage, neuromorphics, and bioelectronics. However, charge compensation mechanisms during the polymer redox process remain poorly understood, and are often oversimplified as single-ion injection with little attention to counterion effects. To advance understanding and design strategies toward next-generation OMIEC systems, a series of p-channel carboxylated mixed conductors is investigated.

Silk fibroin is a fiber-forming protein derived from the thread of silkworm cocoons. This biocompatible protein, under the kosmotropic influence of potassium phosphate, can undergo supramolecular self-assembly driven by a random coil to β-sheet secondary structure transition. By leveraging concurrent nonspecific adsorption and self-assembly of silk fibroin, we demonstrate an interfacial phenomenon that yields adherent, defect-free nanothin protein coatings that grow continuously in time, without observable saturation in mass deposition.

The air-water interfacial behavior of Tetronic 90R4 and Tetronic 701 was studied in the presence of sodium salts with different anions namely , , , , Cl, Br, , I, and SCN. Their presence in the subphase altered the arrangement of both tetronic molecules at the air-water interface. The limiting mean molecular area of the Langmuir film for both tetronics was found to be ion specific; it increased following the series < < < < Cl< Br< < I< SCN, which was found to be aligned with the Hofmeister series of anions.

In this paper, the possibility of the kosmotropic anion (CO, Citrate, SO, HPO, CHCOO and Cl) to improve the gel properties of microbial transglutaminase (MTG)-crosslinked soybean isolate protein (SPI)-based hydrogels was explored using a soaking strategy. The results of this experiment demonstrated that the hardness of the hydrogel undergoes different degrees of enhancement after different salt treatments in the following order: HPO > CHCOO > SO > Citrate > Cl > CO. Rheological results showed that salt treatment led to enhancement of the energy storage modulus of the hydrogels.
