An enzyme-catalyzed high-performing reaction with in-situ amplified photocurrent was innovatively designed for the quantitative screening of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in biological fluids by coupling with carbon-functionalized inorganic photoanode. A split-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay was initially executed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled secondary antibody on the capture antibody-coated microtiter. Then, the photocurrent of carbon-functionalized inorganic photoanode were improved through enzymatic insoluble product. Experimental results revealed that introduction of the outer carbon layer on the inorganic photoactive materials caused the amplifying photocurrent because of the improving light harvesting and separation of photo-generated e/h pairs. Under optimum conditions, the split-type photoelectrochemical immunosensing platform displayed good photocurrent responses within the dynamic range of 0.01 - 80 ng mL CEA, and allowed the detection of CEA as low as a concentration of 3.6 pg mL at the 3S level. The strong attachment of antibodies onto nano label and high-performing photoanode resulted in a good repeatability and intermediate precision down to 9.83%. No significant differences at the 0.05 significance level were encountered in the analysis of six human serum specimens between the developed PEC immunoassay and the commercially available CEA ELISA kits.

Proton-conducting porous ceramic membranes were synthesized via a polymer-derived ceramic route and probed in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). Their chemical compositions were altered by adding carbon allotropes including graphene oxide (GO) and multiwall carbon nanotubes into a polysiloxane matrix as filler materials. Physical characteristics of the synthesized membranes such as porosity, hydrophilicity, mechanical stability, ion exchange capacity, and oxygen mass transfer coefficient were determined to investigate the best membrane material for further testing in MFCs.

This report describes an efficient procedure for the generation and isolation of various thymine and thymidine 5,6-epoxides from the corresponding trans-5,6-bromohydrins by reaction with triethylamine. The quantitative isolation of the epoxides, accomplished by solvent precipitation of triethylamine hydrobromide, enabled their regiospecific ring-opening at C6 position by organometallic nucleophiles. The reaction was amenable to a broad range of alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, and alkynyl organomagnesium, -zinc, -aluminum, or -boron reagents, although the reactivity was strongly affected by the electronic effects of N3 protecting group.

Binding of anions of great environmental concern such as SO(4)(2-), PO(4)(3-), AsO(4)(3-), HgCl(4)(2-), and CrO(4)(2-) by the protonated forms of a tren-like (tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine) ligand (HL) functionalized with a pyrimidine residue was studied by means of potentiometric measurements and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) affording log K, ΔH°, and TΔS° values for the formation of the relevant complexes. The complexes show high to very high stability due to the particular topology and electronic properties of the ligand which is able to use two separated coordination environments to host the anions, the protonated tren site where electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions are operating, and the pyrimidine ring which may act via anion-π interaction. A contribution of -8.
