Summary: This study investigated the interaction mechanism between ethoxyquin (EQ) and transporter protein before and after beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) encapsulation. The results showed that EQ formed complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and affected its structure and environment. However, encapsulation in beta-CD reduced the binding ability of EQ to BSA and prevented adverse effects on BSA conformation.

Summary: In this study, the association behavior of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and cetyl-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was investigated using the conductivity method. The association phenomenon was detected by changes in conductivity and various physico-chemical properties. The interaction between BSA and CTAB was influenced by temperature and hydration extent. The binding interactions were believed to involve H-bonding, ion-dipole, and hydrophobic interactions.

Summary: Synthetic coelenterazine (CTZ) indicators were developed to quantitatively study human and bovine serum albumins (HSA and BSA) with high specificity. The CTZ indicators emit luminescence with specific modifications, and their colors and peak positions can determine the origins and mixing levels of albumins. The study also found that serum albumins catalyze the CTZ indicators and this catalytic reaction can be efficiently inhibited by specific inhibitors.

Summary: The interaction mechanism between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and tannic acid (TA) was investigated using spectroscopic and computational approaches, and validated by circular dichroism (CD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and molecular docking techniques. The fluorescence spectra and molecular docking results indicated that TA bound to BSA and caused static quenching at a single binding site. The interaction between BSA and TA was dose-dependent. Thermodynamic analysis showed that hydrophobic forces played a dominant role in the BSA-TA interaction. The stability of the BSA-TA complex was enhanced, as evidenced by changes in secondary structure and increased melting temperature and enthalpy.

Summary: Dacomitinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was found to quench the endogenous fluorescence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) through static quenching. It preferentially inserted into the hydrophobic cavity of the BSA subdomain IA (site III), forming a 1:1 DAC-BSA complex. DAC had a higher affinity for BSA, and non-radiative energy transfer occurred between them. Hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic forces played a significant role in the insertion of DAC into the hydrophobic cavity of BSA. DAC affected the secondary structure of BSA, leading to a slight decrease in the alpha-helix content. The microenvironment around tyrosine residues was affected by the DAC-BSA combination, while the microenvironment around tryptophan residues remained unaffected. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation confirmed the insertion of DAC into site III of BSA, with hydrogen energy and van der Waals energy contributing to the stability of the DAC-BSA complex. The influence of metal ions on the system's affinity was also explored.

Summary: The interaction between lutein dipalmitate and BSA was found to be static with a binding stoichiometry of 1:1. Thermodynamic study and molecular docking confirmed that lutein dipalmitate spontaneously bound to BSA through hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions. The addition of lutein dipalmitate led to a decrease in the alpha-helix content of BSA, as observed through CD analysis.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
