This work firstly reported a new polycaprolactone based material functionalized with guanidinium ionic liquid (PCL-GIL) as the stationary phase with high resolution performance for capillary gas chromatography (GC). It is composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and guanidinium ionic liquid (GIL) with amphiphilic conformation. The PCL-GIL capillary column coated by static method exhibited high column efficiency of 3942 plates/m and moderate polarity. As a result, the PCL-GIL column exhibited high-resolution capability. For a mixture of 27 analytes with a wide ranging polarity and outperformed the PCL-2OH and HP-35 columns, showing its advantageous separation capability for analytes of diverse types. Moreover, the PCL-GIL column showed high resolving capability for various positional isomers and cis-/trans-isomers, including alkylbenzenes, chlorobenzenes, naphthalenes, bromonitrobenzenes, chloronitrobenzenes, benzaldehydes, phenols, alcohols, respectively. In a word, PCL derivatized by GIL units as a new type of stationary phase has a promising future in GC separations.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for symmetrical supercapacitors are proposed herein with activated carbon as electrodes and optimized solid polymer electrolyte membranes, which serve as the separators and electrolytes. We propose the design of a low-cost solid polymer electrolyte consisting of guanidinium nitrate (GuN) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Using the solution casting approach, blended polymer electrolytes with varying GuN weight percentage ratios of PVP and PEO are prepared.

This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the adsorption and aggregation behavior of simple polyarginine cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), specifically modeled as R peptides, at zwitterionic phosphocholine POPC membranes under varying ionic strengths of two peptide concentrations and two concentrations of NaCl and CaCl. The results reveal an intriguing phenomenon of R aggregation at the membrane, which is dependent on the ionic strength, indicating a salting-out effect. As the peptide concentration and ionic strength increase, peptide aggregation also increases, with aggregate lifetimes and sizes showing a corresponding rise, accompanied by the total decrease of adsorbed peptides at the membrane surface.

Background: Domoic acid (DA) is a neurotoxic compound causing amnesic shellfish poisoning, secreted by red algae and diatoms. As a glutamate analogue, DA accumulates in filter-feeding marine organisms, posing significant health risks to humans upon consumption. Detecting DA in marine environments remains challenging due to its low concentration and interference from complex matrices.

Proteins play crucial roles in nearly all biological activities, with their functional structures deriving from stable folded conformations. Protein denaturation, induced by chemical and physical agents, is a complex process where proteins lose their stable structures, thereby impairing their biological functions. Characterizing protein denaturation at the single-molecule level remains a significant challenge.
