Insulin-binding aptamer-conjugated graphene oxide for insulin detection

This paper describes a simple and sensitive aptamer/graphene oxide (GO) based assay for insulin detection. GO can protect DNA from nuclease cleavage, but aptamers can be detached from the GO surface by specific target binding. This exposes the aptamers to enzymatic cleavage and releases the target for a new cycle. Cycling of targets leads to significant signal amplification and low LOD.     

Interquantile Shrinkage in Regression Models

Conventional analysis using quantile regression typically focuses on fitting the regression model at different quantiles separately. However, in situations where the quantile coefficients share some common feature, joint modeling of multiple quantiles to accommodate the commonality often leads to more efficient estimation. One example of common features is that a predictor may have a constant effect over one region of quantile levels but varying effects in other regions. To automatically perform estimation and detection of the interquantile commonality, we develop two penalization methods. When the quantile slope coefficients indeed do not change across quantile levels, the proposed methods will shrink the slopes toward constant and thus improve the estimation efficiency. We establish the oracle properties of the two proposed penalization methods. Through numerical investigations, we demonstrate that the proposed methods lead to estimations with competitive or higher efficiency than the standard quantile regression estimation in finite samples.

Self-quenching in the electrochemiluminescence of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(ii) using metabolites of catecholamines as co-reactants

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) using metabolites of catecholamines: homovanillic acid (HVA) and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) as co-reactants were investigated in aqueous solution for the first time. When HVA and VMA were co-existent in the buffer solution containing Ru(bpy)(3)(2+), ECL peaks were observed at a potential corresponding to the oxidation of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+), and the ECL intensity was increased noticeably when the concentrations of HVA and VMA were at lower levels. The linear calibration range was from 8.0 × 10(-5) to 1.0 × 10(-9) M for HVA and VMA. The detection limit (S/N = 3) of HVA and VMA was 4.0 × 10(-10) M. The formation of the excited state Ru(bpy)(3)(2+*) was confirmed to result from the reaction between Ru(bpy)(3)(3+) and the intermediates of HVA or VMA radicals. Moreover, it was found that the ECL intensity was quenched significantly when the concentrations of HVA and VMA were relatively higher. The mechanism of self-quenching processes involved in the Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)-HVA and -VMA ECL systems are proposed in this study.

Phosphotungstic salt used as an efficient catalyst to rapidly remove RhB from water solution

Ag-modified polyoxometalate [Na(H₂O)]₂[Ag(bpf)]₃[PW₁₂O₄₀] (1) (bpf = 2,4-di(4-pyridyl)furan) was synthesized through a hydrothermal reaction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that 1 consists of a hybrid 3D MOF constructed from Keggin-type polyanionic [PW₁₂O₄₀]^3- and cationic Ag-bpf units. Ligand bpf in 1 was in situ transferred from 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane under the higher temperature and pressure of hydrothermal conditions. Catalytic performance of 1 as a heterogeneous catalyst for degradation of organic dye Rhodamine B (RhB) was investigated. Experimental results showed that hybrid 1 was especially active to catalytically degrade RhB under room temperature and natural light. RhB-containing solution (5.0 mg·L^?1) could be quickly bleached in a short time, and the high removal efficiency (97%) could be reached in a mere 30 min. The degradation mechanism of RhB was discussed.
