The rise of antibiotic resistance is a growing worldwide human health issue, with major socioeconomic implications. An understanding of the interactions occurring at the bacterial membrane is crucial for the generation of new antibiotics. Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) made from reconstituted lipid vesicles have been used to mimic these membranes, but their utility has been restricted by the simplistic

Lysozyme is Sterically Trapped Within the Silica Cage in Bioinspired Silica–Lysozyme Composites: A Multi-Technique Understanding of Elusive Protein–Material Interactions Langmuir (IF 3.882) Pub Date : 2022-06-23 Francesco Bruno, Lucia Gigli, Giovanni Ferraro, Andrea Cavallo, Vladimir K. Michaelis, Gil Goobes, Emiliano Fratini, Enrico Ravera
Lysozyme is widely known to promote the formation of condensed silica networks from solutions containing silicic acid, in a reproducible and cost-effective way. However, little is known about the fate of the protein after the formation of the silica particles. Also, the relative arrangement of the different components in the resulting material is a matter of debate. In this study, we investigate the

Textured hydrophobic surfaces that repel liquid droplets unidirectionally are found in nature such as butterfly wings and ryegrass leaves and are also essential in technological processes such as self-cleaning and anti-icing. In many occasions, surface textures are oriented to direct rebounding droplets. Surface macrostructures (>100 μm) have often been explored to induce directional rebound. However

Leucine on silica constitutes an interesting system from the point of view of origins of life studies since leucine coadsorbed on SiO2 together with glutamic acid can give rise to rather long linear polypeptides upon activation. It is also an ideal system to test methods of molecular characterization of biomolecules deposited on mineral surfaces since it combines a small-scale model of peptides and

As a nanozyme, gold nanoparticles have some advantages compared with natural enzymes, such as stable structure, adjustable catalytic activity, multifunctionality, and recyclability. Due to their special dimension, they are easy to aggregate rapidly and lose their catalytic performance when exposed to normal saline or special pH environment. To avoid such a situation, Au@PNIPAm nanozymes with core–shell

Radiation on aqueous solutions can induce water radiolysis with products of radicals, H2, H2O2, and so on, and their consequent biological effects have long been interested in radiation chemistry. Unlike the decomposition of water by electric current that produces a significant number of bubbles, the gas products from the radiolysis of water are normally invisible by bare eyes, little is known on whether

Surface Area Estimation: Replacing the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller Model with the Statistical Thermodynamic Fluctuation Theory Langmuir (IF 3.882) Pub Date : 2022-06-17 Seishi Shimizu, Nobuyuki Matubayasi
Surface area estimation using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis has been beset by difficulties. The BET model has been applied routinely to systems that break its basic assumptions. Even though unphysical results arising from force-fitting can be eliminated by the consistency criteria, such a practice, in turn, complicates the simplicity of the linearized BET plot. We have derived a general
