Summary: This study demonstrated a biosensor for bovine serum albumin (BSA) detection using a graphene oxide (GO) functionalized micro-taped long-period fiber grating (GMLPG). The GO-BSA connection allowed BSA to attach onto the fiber surface, changing the refractive index and enabling BSA concentration measurement. The sensor showed high sensitivity, low detection limit, and superior measurement performance in the presence of glucose and urea interferents.

Summary: An efficient chiral separation membrane was fabricated using bovine serum albumin (BSA) modified graphene oxide (GO) through EDC/NHS coupling chemistry. The BSA modified membrane successfully separated Phe racemate, achieving up to 96.1% excess enantiomer (ee) in the osmotic solution under optimal conditions. The addition of BSA not only increased the spacing in the membrane, but also created chiral channels for selective transport of L-Phe, resulting in high flux and selectivity. The microstructure of BSA was found to be crucial for the chiral separation performance of the membrane, as unfolding of its helical and globular three-dimensional structures weakened or eliminated the separation performance. Molecular docking simulation experiments supported this conclusion.

Summary: The toxic effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in the presence and absence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was analyzed, with BSA reducing the toxicity of ZnO NPs. Different environmental models were studied to compare the toxicity of bare ZnO and BSA-coated ZnO.

Summary: Chiral enantiomer recognition is of great research significance in analytical chemistry. Although most chiral sensors are used for amino acid recognition, they are rarely applied in drug intermediate identification. This study demonstrated that combining chitosan and reduced graphene oxide can enhance the conductivity, leading to improved recognition when connected with bovine serum albumin. A novel chiral sensor (3D-rGO-CS-BSA) was synthesized for drug intermediate identification, showing significant difference in oxidation peak currents (I-R/I-S = 2.82) between the two enantiomers. The detection limits for the R-enantiomer and S-enantiomer were 4.85 nM and 11.76 nM, respectively. The proposed electrochemical sensing platform also has potential for detecting the percentage content of mixed chiral enantiomer drugs.
