Summary: In this study, the addition of Triton X-100 was found to enhance laccase production in Shiraia spp. S9 mycelium culture and facilitate the biodegradation of the micropollutant triclosan. The surfactant induced the release of reactive oxygen species, increased membrane permeability, and upregulated laccase-related gene expression, resulting in a 108-fold increase in laccase production. After 2 days of culture, the degradation and adsorption rate of triclosan reached 80.71% and 10.21%, respectively, and triclosan was almost completely removed (99.88%) from the water phase through a combination of biodegradation and cloud point extraction.

Summary: All-atom molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the structural properties of micelles formed by the non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114. The solubilisation of two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ibuprofen and indomethacin, was also studied to understand its effect on the micelle structure. The results showed that solubilising drug molecules caused the micelle shape to become elongated and the drug molecules took orientations within the core of the micelle to remain hydrated. The aggregation of indomethacin led to destabilisation of the micelle, while the ibuprofen-loaded micelle remained stable.

Summary: This study investigated the potential interactions between the antibiotic ceftriaxone sodium (CTS) and the surfactant triton X-100 (TX-100) in the presence and absence of various sodium based electrolytes and hydrotropic salts. The results showed that the hydrophilic interaction was significant when sodium salicylate (NaSal) was used, but not significant when sodium benzoate (NaBenz) was used. Thermodynamic variables were calculated to evaluate the nature of the interactions, and the findings may have important implications for pharmaceutical formulations and understanding drug-surfactant interactions.

Summary: The cloud point measurement and UV-visible spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the phase separation, assembly formation, and thermodynamic properties of the Triton X-100 (TX-100) + promethazine hydrochloride (PMH) drug mixed system. The impact of monohydroxy alcohols on the clouding development of the TX-100 + drug mixed system was also demonstrated. The critical micelle concentration of the TX-100 + PMH mixture increased with temperature. The obtained free energy values revealed the non-spontaneity of clouding and spontaneous aggregation of the TX-100 + PMH mixture. The micellization of the TX-100 + PMH mixed system was accompanied by hydrophobic interaction.

Summary: The solubilization of valuable elements such as uranium, mercury, and cesium from cemented radioactive waste (CRW) has been investigated using H2SO4/KI. However, separation of these elements is necessary for their recycling. This study examined the extraction of uranium and mercury from surrogate cemented radioactive waste (SCRW) using chelating resin Lewatit TP260 in the presence of iodide. The Lewatit TP260 demonstrated high affinity for uranium, but the presence of iodide increased competition between adsorbed mercury and iodide-mercury complexes. The reusability of the resin was also tested and it was found that the capacity for uranium and mercury extraction decreased with the number of cycles due to the presence of trivalent cation.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of senile dementia and is characterized by the aggregation of neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques in the brain. The A beta 1-42 peptide is considered the primary cause of neurotoxicity due to its insolubility and subsequent aggregation. A beta 1-42 and A beta 1-40 have been identified as relevant biomarkers for AD diagnosis, and SurfaceAssisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry (SALDI-MS) was used to monitor the A beta 1-42/A beta 1-40 ratio without prior sample treatment.

Summary: Molecular docking (MD) analysis is widely used for studying the interaction between aptamers and small molecules. This study established steady-state aptamers of tertiary structures (SATS) using specific aptamers of tetracycline antibiotics as docking models. Molecular docking results revealed multiple binding sites in the SATS of aptamers, with significant variations in binding free energy (BFE) and docking score (DS). The study also proposed a method for MD analysis based on SATS, providing insights into binding mode and predicting binding sites.
