The interactions of nanoplastics (NPs) with natural organic matters (NOMs) dominate the environmental fate of both substances and the organic carbon cycle. Their binding and aggregation mechanisms at the molecular level remain elusive due to the high structural complexity of NOMs and aged NPs. Molecular modeling was used to understand the detailed dynamic interaction mechanism between NOMs and NPs.

Background: Macrophages play an important role in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). We will explore the effects of sodium butyrate (SB) on macrophage function.
Methods: The targets of butyric acid were identified using SwissTargetPrediction database and surface plasmon resonance (SPR).

The lipophilicity of thirteen tacrine/piperidine-4-carboxamide derivatives was assessed using reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography (RP-TLC) with MeOH and acetonitrile (ACN) as organic modifiers. Among the parameters evaluated, the R and C values obtained using MeOH were identified as the most reliable for characterizing the lipophilicity of the investigated compounds. The observed differences in lipophilicity among the derivatives resulted from a delicate interplay of substituent effects (hydrophobicity, polarity, steric hindrance, and electronic effects), positional influence, and characteristics of the organic modifier.

Fluorescence polarization (FP) is a useful technique to study the interactions between carbohydrates and proteins in solution, by using standard equipment and minimal sample consumption. Here, we will review the most recent FP-based approaches in this field, including the study of carbohydrate-lectin, carbohydrate-enzyme and glycosaminoglycan-protein interactions. Advantages and limitations of this methodology will be discussed.

Tau hyper-phosphorylation has been recognized as an essential contributor to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. In the last decade, tau hyper-phosphorylation has gained considerable concern in AD therapeutic development. Tauopathies are manifested with a broad spectrum of symptoms, from dementia to cognitive decline and motor impairments.
