Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) oligonucleotides are widely used in biological research, therapeutics, biotechnology, and nanomachines. Large-scale enzymatic production of ssDNA oligonucleotides forming noncanonical structures has been difficult. Here, we present a simple and robust method named "palindrome-nicking-dependent amplification" (PaNDA) for enzymatic production of a large amount of ssDNA oligonucleotides. It utilizes a strand-displacing DNA polymerase and a nicking enzyme together with input DNA and deoxynucleotide triphosphates at 55 °C. Scaling up of PaNDA is straightforward due to its isothermal nature. The ssDNA products can easily be isolated through anion-exchange chromatography under nondenaturing conditions. We demonstrate applications of PaNDA to C/N-labeling of various DNA strands, including a 22-nt telomere repeat G-quadruplex, a 26-nt therapeutic aptamer, and a 33-nt DNAzyme. The C/N-labeling by PaNDA greatly facilitates the characterization of noncanonical DNA by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. For example, the behavior of therapeutic DNA aptamers in human serum can be investigated.

Dried urine spots have recently been proposed as an alternative matrix in the anti-doping field. Drying urine may open the opportunity to limit microbial and thermal degradation of the prohibited substances during transportation to the anti-doping laboratories without the need for refrigeration or freezing. In this study, a multi-targeted initial testing procedure was developed for the determination of 237 prohibited drugs/metabolites from 11 different classes in dried urine spots.

Tattooing is a popular form of body art that has evolved from ancient times into being part of modern society. The understanding of biotransformation processes of coloring tattoo pigments in human skin is limited although skin reactions to tattoos with unknown culprits occur. Electrochemistry coupled to mass spectrometry (EC-MS) has widely been used as a tool for a purely instrumental approach to simulating the enzymatic biotransformation of xenobiotics.

Plastic products bring convenience to various aspects of the daily lives due to their lightweight, durability and versatility, but the massive accumulation of post-consumer plastic waste is posing significant environmental challenges. Catalytic methods can effectively convert plastic waste into value-added feedstocks, with catalysts playing an important role in regulating the yield and selectivity of products. This review explores the latest advancements in advanced catalysts applied in thermal catalysis, microwave-assisted catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and enzymatic catalysis reaction systems for the chemical recycling of plastic waste into valuable feedstocks.
