Interactions between bovine serum albumin and various clays including pure clay minerals and bentonite were studied with the aim to describe the interaction process. The adsorption of albumin on the clays is strongly affected by the behavior of clays in the aquatic environment (hydrolysis and release of cations). A sufficient amount of albumin was adsorbed on the acid-activated montmorillonite K10 (0.067 mg mg) and on the illite-smectite (0.086 mg mg). These clay minerals do not strongly affect the sorption solution parameters such as pH value and content of cations. Practically no adsorption was observed on the bentonite and vermiculite. Bentonite and vermiculite are subject to stronger interactions with water which cause the increase of pH value of the sorption solution and release of cations to the solution and thus they cause conformational changes of albumin, which was confirmed by circular dichroism measurements. Obtained results were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis as well. Interaction of studied materials with bovine serum albumin causes the reduction of particle size in the case of all studied clays except vermiculite. Albumin probably attacks the clay structure during the adsorption, which causes the decrease of particle size. The presented work contributes to the knowledge about interaction of bovine serum albumin with clays in the field of influence of physico-chemical behaviour of clays in the solution on the interaction with albumin.

Although the glycosylation of viral proteins plays a critical role in the process of viral invasion into host cells, studies on the glycosylation of monkeypox virus (MPXV) structural proteins have not yet been reported. To investigate the importance of MPXV protein glycosylation, poly Ser-Arg (poly SR) materials capable of simultaneously enriching both -glycopeptides and -glycopeptides were synthesized by surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (SI-RAFT) polymerization. The poly SR materials were evaluated using the digest mixture of standard proteins containing bovine fetuin and bovine serum albumin, and the digest of complex biological samples including bovine sperm tail lysate, mouse sperm tail lysate, mouse brain lysate, and human serum.

Background And Aim: In animal husbandry, antibiotics are frequently used as growth promoters, as well as for illness prevention and treatment. They are considered important toxic and allergenic contaminants of food and a serious risk factor for the spread of antibiotic resistance. National and international regulatory authorities have established limits on the permissible residue of antibiotics in food.

In this study, a bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated magnetic single-walled carbon nanotube (mCNT) was synthesized using covalent functionalization. Mitoxantrone (MTO) was chosen as a model drug, and loading/release profiles of mCNTs were evaluated. To synthesize BSA-coated mCNT, 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide and -hydroxysuccinimide were used as cross-linking agents.

General synthesis and mechanical understanding of type I nano-photosensitizers are of great importance for hypoxia-resistant pyroptosis inducers. Herein, a simple solvothermal treatment is developed to convert non-photosensitive small molecules (hemin) into uniform carbon nanodots (HNCDs) with strong type I photodynamic activity and red fluorescence emission. These HNCDs inherit the single atomic Fe-N center of hemin while creating sp-hybridized carbon surroundings, which synergistically modulated the energy level and electron transfer for converting the type II photodynamic process to type I.
