Thioquinomycins A-D,novel naphthothiophenediones from the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. SS17F

Thioquinomycins A-D (1–4), four novel naphthothiophenediones were isolated from the rice-based medium of the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. SS17F. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and HRESIMS data. The absolute configurations of all the compounds were elucidated by X-ray diffraction analysis, ECD and Mosher's method combined with ¹⁹F-NMR. Compounds 1–4 showed moderate cytotoxicity against NCI-H1975 with IC₅₀ values from 17.5 to 50?μM. In addition, compounds 1–4 also exhibited inhibitory activities against PKCα and ROCK2 protein kinase.     

MgO负载Fe基催化剂选择性合成单/双/多壁碳纳米管

通过浸渍及水热处理获得MgO负载的Fe基催化剂,并将其用于化学气相沉积过程裂解甲烷获得碳纳米管.结果表明,单/双/多壁碳纳米管可选择性地生长在Fe负载量不同的Fe/MgO催化剂上.当Fe负载量仅为0.5%时,铁原子在载体表面烧结为0.8～1.2nm的铁颗粒,碳在这种小颗粒上以表面扩散为主,导致单壁碳纳米管形成,并且单壁碳纳米管的选择性高达90%.当Fe负载量提高到3%时,铁原子聚集成约2.0nm的颗粒,在化学气相沉积中生长碳纳米管时,碳在Fe催化剂颗粒中的体相扩散的贡献增大,在表相扩散和体相扩散的共同作用下,双壁碳纳米管的选择性显著增高.当进一步增加Fe负载量时,铁原子烧结形成1～8nm的颗粒,经过化学气相沉积,在催化剂上生长了单、双、多壁碳纳米管.随着Fe在MgO载体上负载量的增加,管径、管壁数以及半导体管的含量都增加.本研究提供了一种适合大批量选择性生长单/双/多壁碳纳米管的方法.     

Development of a highly sensitive imaged cIEF immunoassay for studying AAV capsid protein charge heterogeneity

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid proteins tune and regulate the AAV infective life cycle, which can impact the safety and efficacy of AAV gene therapy products. Many of these PTMs induce changes in protein charge heterogeneity, including deamidation, oxidation, glycation, and glycosylation. To characterize the charge heterogeneity of a protein, imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) has become the gold standard method. We have previously reported an icIEF method with native fluorescence detection for denatured AAV capsid protein charge heterogeneity analysis. Although well suited for final products, the method does not have sufficient sensitivity for upstream, low-concentration AAV samples, and lacks the specificity for capsid protein detection in complex samples like cell culture supernatants and cell lysates. In contrast, the combination of icIEF, protein capture, and immunodetection affords significantly higher sensitivity and specificity, addressing the challenges of the icIEF method. By leveraging different primary antibodies, the icIEF immunoassay provides additional selectivity and affords a detailed characterization of individual AAV capsid proteins. In this study, we describe an icIEF immunoassay method for AAV analysis that is 90 times more sensitive than native fluorescence icIEF. This icIEF immunoassay provides AAV stability monitoring, where changes in individual capsid protein charge heterogeneity can be observed in response to heat stress. When applied to different AAV serotypes, this method also provides serotype identity with reproducible quantification of VP protein peak areas and apparent isoelectric point (pI). Overall, the described icIEF immunoassay is a sensitive, reproducible, quantitative, specific, and selective tool that can be used across the AAV biomanufacturing process, especially in upstream process development where complex sample types are often encountered.     

Directing the Selectivity of CO Electrolysis to Acetate by Constructing Metal-Organic Interfaces

Electrochemically converting CO₂ to valuable chemicals holds great promise for closing the anthropogenic carbon cycle. Owing to complex reaction pathways and shared rate-determining steps, directing the selectivity of CO₂/CO electrolysis to a specific multicarbon product is very challenging. We report here a strategy for highly selective production of acetate from CO electrolysis by constructing metal-organic interfaces. We demonstrate that the Cu-organic interfaces constructed by in situ reconstruction of Cu complexes show very impressive acetate selectivity, with a high Faradaic efficiency of 84.2 % and a carbon selectivity of 92.1 % for acetate production, in an alkaline membrane electrode assembly electrolyzer. The maximum acetate partial current density and acetate yield reach as high as 605 mA cm⁻² and 63.4 %, respectively. Thorough structural characterizations, control experiments, operando Raman spectroscopy measurements, and density functional theory calculation results indicate that the Cu-organic interface creates a favorable reaction microenvironment that enhances *CO adsorption, lowers the energy barrier for C−C coupling, and facilitates the formation of CH₃COOH over other multicarbon products, thus rationalizing the selective acetate production.     

Composite Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles with Dual-color Afterglow for Cross-correlation-based Living Cell Imaging

Room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials are characterized with emission after removing the excitation source. Such long-lived emission feature possesses great potential in biological fluorescence imaging because it enables a way regarding temporal dimension for separating the interference of autofluorescence and common noises typically encountered in conventional fluorescence imaging. Herein, we constructed a new type of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs)-based composite nanoparticles (NPs) with dual-color long-lived emission, namely millisecond-level green phosphorescence and sub-millisecond-level delayed red fluorescence by encapsulating a typical RTP dye and Rhodamine dye in the cavities of the MSNs with the former acting as energy donor (D) while the latter as acceptor (A). Benefiting from the close D-A proximity, energy match between the donor and the acceptor and the optimized D/A ratio in the composite NPs, efficient triplet-to-singlet Förster resonance energy transfer (TS-FRET) in the NPs occurred upon exciting the donor, which enabled dual-color long-lived emission. The preliminary results of dual-color correlation imaging of live cells based on such emission feature unequivocally verified the unique ability of such NPs for distinguishing the false positive generated by common emitters with single-color emission feature.     

Impact on Morphological Characterization and Emulsion Stability of Lactoferrin–Beet Pectin Electrostatic Complexes

Interfacial protein–polysaccharide complexes can be utilized in emulsion-based delivery system and contained functional component or medical ingredient. In the present work, the interaction of lactoferrin (LF, 0.2 wt%) with beet pectin (BP, 0–0.15 wt%) was researched in aqueous solutions at different pH (2–9) and ionic strength (0–800 mM) to provide the information about properties of complexes. A simulative environment was created to explore the optimal concentration of BP to formulate LF-coated stabilized emulsion and how the emulsion responded to the changing environmental pH (2–9) and ionic strength (0–500 mM). Particle size, particle distribution index, zeta-potential, turbidity, Turbiscan stability index,, and peak thickness were used to characterize the physical stability of emulsions. The confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to derive the microscopy images of droplets. The results indicated that 0.4 wt% was the optimal concentration to formulate emulsions, and the LF-BP-coated bilayer emulsion has a preferable stability in more extensive range than the pure LF-stabilized emulsions under the environmental stresses through electrostatic interactions. The results of this study will play an important role in facilitating the utilization of LF-BP complexes as an emulsifier in the development of incorporating functional component or medical ingredient into commercial products.
