Coordination polymers (CPs)Ag nanoparticlesDetection of glucoseNonenzymaticEmploying a rigid 6-(3-pyridyl)isophthalic acid (H2PIAD) linker, two novel coordination polymers (CPs), [Mn(PIAD)]n (1) and [Pb(HPIAD)(NO3)]n (2) were synthesized and characterized. The hybrid of Ag nanoparticles (...
Name two polymers and draw their monomer and polymer structures.Natural rubber can be made from what monomer?Draw the structure of the polymer formed by step-growth polymerization of the given monomer or pair of monomers.Provide the structure of the cyclic monomer, and outline the type of ri...
Arabidopsis seeds, when imbibed in water, form a dense mucilage layer around the seed which makes them sink. Interestingly, the seed floating phenotype displayed by theglcat14a-1glcat14c-1seeds phenocopies previously characterized mucilage mutants of the floating mucilage-releasing (FMR) natural Arab...
which in turn phase separate to maximize both guest–guest and host–guest interactions, creating a hydrophobic core (Fig.1c). The protein-scaffolded lipid droplet can then sequester nonpolar small molecules, in a manner akin to natural lipoproteins, albeit through an alternative, non-natural archi...
Furthermore, some glucose was consumed for CoA production, which entry into the TCA cycle for bacterial growth. The DSM1ΔldhL1ΔldhL2 strain also produced increased amount of D-lactic acid (0.26 g/L) that were twice higher than the values in wild-type strain or DSM1ΔldhL2. One...
improving its uniform dispersion in polymers and enabling broader applications in sensors. Wang et al. used magnetically rGO@nickel nanowire fillers as the sensing layer of flexible sensors, demonstrating a high sensitivity of 1302.1 kPa−1(Fig.3c). When self-installed at the tip of the tweezers...
The enzymes used in EH are mainly extracted from bacteria, yeast, and mold, and they catalyze the breakdown of macromolecular polymers in activated sludge flocs into shorter monomers or other easily digestible simple chemical compounds. The most commonly used enzymes in EH technology are those that...
Recently, 2D material-based electronic devices such as sensors gained significant interest in detecting metabolites including glucose; lactose; ascorbic acid; adenosine; and some of the inflammation markers such as reactive oxygen species and proteins, nucleic acids, and bacterial cells. For example, el...
Ni3C/Ni nanochains also presented excellent sensing performance in glucose detection [3]. Yet, to date, the electrocatalytic efficiency of Ni3C is still far from the requirement of practical application. Recently, as a typical photocatalyst carbon nitride (C3N4) has been proved to have ...
The samples were collected from the top, middle, and bottom of each sample first, and then the subsamples were mixed to form one composite sample for analysis. TPH and benzo[a]pyrene were extracted with n-pentane and measured with gas chromatograph (GC) according to Texas Natural Resource ...
