Article Abstract
Silicon oxycarbide (SiOC), Ca- and Mg-modified silicon oxycarbide (SiCaOC and SiMgOC) were synthesized via sol-gel processing with subsequent pyrolysis in an inert gas atmosphere. The physicochemical structures of the materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, and Si MAS NMR. Biocompatibility and in vitro bioactivity were detected by MTT, cell adhesion assay, and simulated body fluid (SBF) immersion test. Mg and Ca were successfully doped into the network structure of SiOC, and the non-bridging oxygens (NBO) were formed. The hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) was formed on the modified SiOC surface after soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 14 days, and the HCA generation rate of SiCaOC was higher than that of SiMgOC. Accompanying the increase of bioactivity, the network connectivity (NC) of the modified SiOC decreased from 6.05 of SiOC to 5.80 of SiCaOC and 5.60 of SiMgOC. However, structural characterization and biological experiments revealed the nonlinear relationship between the biological activity and NC of the modified SiOC materials.

This article presents a study on the functional properties and morphology of coatings based on amorphous silicon oxycarbide modified with phosphate ions and comodified with aluminum and boron. The objective of this modification was to enhance the biocompatibility and bioactivity without affecting its protective properties. The comodification was aimed toward stabilization of phosphate in the structure.

Two of nature's recurring binding motifs in metalloproteins are the CxxxCxxC motif in radical SAM enzymes and the 2-His-1-carboxylate motif found both in zincins and α-ketoglutarate and non-haem iron enzymes. Here we show the confluence of these two domains in a single post-translational modifying enzyme containing an N-terminal radical S-adenosylmethionine domain fused to a C-terminal 2-His-1-carboxylate (HExxH) domain. The radical SAM domain catalyses three-residue cyclophane formation and is the signature modification of triceptides, a class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides.

Article Synopsis
- Phosphorylated cellulosic fibers were treated with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), creating a functionalized material through a straightforward and low-cost method.
- Characterization showed that APTES forms covalent bonds with the cellulose fibers, while maintaining their original morphology and crystal structure.
- The modified fibers display enhanced properties, including flame retardance, improved hydrophobicity, and a significant change in pH zero charge point, allowing for the adsorption of both positively and negatively charged species.
