Applications for a new polymer resin, PolyFlo, are described for both the small-scale and large-scale purification of synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides varying in length from 18-41 bases. The unique properties of this innovative resin provide > 95% purified full-length oligodeoxyribonucleotides with greater than 90% yield starting from either crude trityl-on or trityl-off unmodified as well as base (biotin)- or backbone (e.g., phosphorothioate)-modified products. Full biological activity of recovered nucleic acid is retained, and the resin is capable of removing contaminating endotoxins during purification. The resin performance is predictable and reliable. The resin can be regenerated easily and is particularly economic when employed directly in ammonia or with the trityl-off option. PolyFlo meets the requirements of current Good Manufacturing Practices.

The Ni-N(His) coordination bond, formed between the nickel ion and histidine residues, is essential for recombinant protein purification, especially in Ni-NTA-based systems for selectively binding polyhistidine-tagged (Histag) proteins. While previous studies have explored its bond strength in a synthetic Ni-NTA-Histag system, the influence of the surrounding protein structure remains less understood. In this study, we used atomic force microscopy-based single-molecule force spectroscopy (AFM-SMFS) to quantify the Ni-N(His) bond strength in calprotectin, a biologically relevant protein system.

In order to identify the pathogen responsible for Hedera nepalensis leaf blight and investigate effective biocontrol strategies, samples were collected from 10 significantly infected areas at Southwest Forestry University; four to six infected leaves were gathered from each area, followed by the isolation and purification of strains from the infected plant leaves using tissue isolation and hyphae-purification techniques. We conducted an examination of the biological characteristics and compared the inhibitory effects of different concentrations of Phomopsis sp. (50%, 25%, 16.

Porous liquids (PLs) have emerged as a promising class of flow porous materials, offering distinctive benefits for sustainable separation processes coupled with catalytic transformations in the chemical industry. Despite their potential, challenges remain in the realms of synthesis complexity, stability, and the strategic engineering of separation and catalytic sites. In this study, a scalable mechanochemical synthetic approach is reported to fabricate Type III PLs from solid precursors with high stability.

Pathogenic intracellular bacteria pose a significant threat to global public health due to the barriers presented by host cells hindering the timely detection of hidden bacteria and the effective delivery of therapeutic agents. To address these challenges, we propose a tandem diagnosis-guided treatment paradigm. A supramolecular sensor array is developed for simple, rapid, accurate, and high-throughput identification of intracellular bacteria.

Pigment production has a substantial negative impact on the environment, since mining for natural pigments causes ecosystem degradation, while synthetic pigments, derived from petrochemicals, generate toxic by-products that accumulate and persist in aquatic systems due to their resistance to biodegradation. Despite these challenges, pigments remain essential across numerous industries, including the cosmetic, textile, food, automotive, paints and coatings, plastics, and packaging industries. In response to growing consumer demand for sustainable options, there is increasing interest in eco-friendly alternatives, particularly bio-based pigments derived from algae, fungi, and actinomycetes.
