Magnetic chitosan beads and quartz crystal microbalance chip were decorated with lysozyme specific aptamer for isolation and detection of lysozyme, respectively. The lysozyme specific aptamer was immobilized on poly (dopamine) coated magnetic chitosan beads and the chip via Schiff base reaction. The percentage of the removal efficiency and purity of the isolated lysozyme from egg white were 87.6% and 91.8%, respectively. Further, the sensor system was contacted with different concentrations of lysozyme and other test proteins. This sensor system provided a method for the label-free, concentration-dependent, and selective detection of lysozyme with an observed detection limit of 17.9 ± 0.6 ng/mL. The sensor system was very selective and not significantly responded to the other tested proteins such as ovalbumin, trypsin, cytochrome C, and glucose oxidase. The prepared new sensor system showed a good durability and a high sensitivity for determination of lysozyme from solutions and whole egg white.

Context: "Nanostructure of graphene-reinforced with polymethyl methacrylate" (PMMA-G), and vice versa, is investigated using its molecular structure, in the present work. The PMMA-G nanostructure was constructed by bonding PMMA with graphene nanosheet in a sense to get three different configurations. Each configuration consisted of polymeric structures with three degrees of polymerization (such as monomers, dimers, and trimers polymers, respectively).

A new aptamer-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system has been designed to detect Hg that utilizes near-infrared (NIR)-to-NIR gold nanoparticle coated NaYF:Yb,Tm,Gd up-conversion nanoparticles (AuNPs@NaYF:Yb,Tm,Gd UCNPs) as probes. The AuNPs@NaYF:Yb,Tm,Gd UCNPs were prepared and excited by near-infrared light (980 nm) which emitted at a near-infrared wavelength (808 nm) using an inexpensive infrared continuous wave laser diode. The AuNPs@NaYF:Yb,Tm,Gd UCNPs were conjugated with Hg aptamers.

This research presents the design and analysis of a compact metamaterial (MTM)-based star-shaped split-ring resonator (SRR) enclosed in a square, constructed on a cost-effective substrate for liquid chemical sensing applications. The designed structure has dimensions of 10 × 10 mm and is optimized for detecting adulteration in edible oils. When the sample holder is filled with different percentages of oil samples, the resonance frequency of the MTM-based SRR sensor shift significantly.

Cholesterol plays a pivotal role in modulating the activity of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTOR1), thereby regulating cell growth and metabolic homeostasis. LYCHOS, a lysosome-localized G-protein-coupled receptor-like protein, emerges as a cholesterol sensor and is capable of transducing the cholesterol signal to affect the mTORC1 function. However, the precise mechanism by which LYCHOS recognizes cholesterol remains unknown.
