To achieve the dispersion of the hydrophobic graphene (GR), the amphiphilic alginate caprylamide (ACA) was synthesized to fabricate electroactive Nafion/Mb–ACA–GR/CILE for the accurate determination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA). SEM observation, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis indicated that ACA could tightly immobilize Mb and GR on the electrode surface by constructing biointerfaces, which not only provided Mb a suitable microenvironment to maintain its biological activity, but also shortened the distances between the active centers of Mb with carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE), thus promoting the electron transfer rate. The electrochemical characterization of Nafion/Mb–ACA–GR/CILE showed that the direct electron transfer of Mb was realized on the modified electrode, which was attributed to the high electrical conductivity and excellent electrocatalytic activity of GR and good biocompatibility of ACA. Moreover, Nafion/Mb–ACA–GR/CILE exhibited good electrocatalytic activity towards TCA with the linear range from 2.5 to 47.3 mmol L−1 and lower KMapp value of 8.3 mmol L−1. Moreover, the modified electrode also revealed good stability, reproducibility and accurate detection of tap-water, exhibiting great potential for the applications as the third-generation electrochemical biosensors.

A novel biosensor based on electro-co-deposition of myoglobin (Mb), sodium alginate (SA), Fe 3 O 4 -graphene (Fe 3 O 4 -GR) composite on the carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) was fabricated using Nafion as the film forming material to improve the stability of protein immobilized on the electrode surface, and the modified electrode was abbreviated as Nafion/Mb-SA-Fe 3 O 4 -GR/CILE. FT-IR and UV–vis absorption spectra suggested that Mb could retain its native structure after being immobilized in the SA-Fe 3 O 4 -GR composite film. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode was studied by cyclic voltammetry, and a pair of symmetric redox peaks appeared in the cyclic voltammograms, indicating that direct electron transfer of Mb was realized on the modified electrode, which was ascribed to the good electrocatalytic capability of Fe 3 O 4 -GR composite, the good biocompatibility of SA and the synergistic effects of SA and Fe 3 O 4 -GR composite. The electrochemical parameters of the electron transfer number ( n ), the charge transfer coefficient ( α ) and the electron transfer rate constant ( k
s ) were calculated as 0.982, 0.357 and 0.234 s −1 , respectively. The modified electrode exhibited good electrocatalytic ability to the reduction of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with wide linear range from 1.4 to 119.4 mmol/L, low detection limit as 0.174 mmol/L (3 σ ), good stability and reproducibility.

Mass
spectrometry plays a key role in agricultural and food chemistry,
yet direct ionization of plant samples is complicated by endogenous
salts and other matrix components that destabilize conventional direct-current
nanoelectrospray ionization (DC-nanoESI). To address this limitation
in point-of-need analysis, we developed hand-held electrostatic spray
ionization (HESSI), which produces stable ionization from nanoliter
sample volumes without direct electrical contact with the solution.
A compact pulsed-discharge module and dielectric barrier limit electrochemical
reactions and reduce the risk of discharge at the emitter while remaining
compatible with salt-containing plant extracts. Approximately 50 nL
of the sample sustained MS signals for up to 5 min. In a proof-of-concept
application, 208 compounds were tentatively annotated from Sophora japonica and Robinia pseudoacacia extracts in negative-ion mode, and a neural network model distinguished
the two groups with an accuracy of 83.3%. These results support HESSI
as a compact and sample-efficient platform for the rapid mass-spectrometric
characterization of botanical materials.

Arthrospira platensis proteins are considered as viable ingredients for functional foods with nutraceutical properties and health-promoting effects. In this study, we used five different proteases including pepsin, trypsin, alcalase, papain, and bromelain to hydrolyze A. platensis phycobiliprotein. LC–MS/MS (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry) was used to determine the composition of the hydrolysates with thousands of bioactive peptides. Based on peptide sequencing, a candidate list of 1,333 bioactive peptides was constructed for the first time for which bioinformatics tools were used to assess the properties of the bioactive peptides. The inhibitory activity of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), as well as the antioxidant activity of five phycobiliprotein hydrolysates (PBPHs), were verified in vitro. The IC 50 values of PBPH-pepsin, PBPH-trypsin, PBPH-alcalase, PBPH-papain, and PBPH-bromelain for DPP-IV inhibited activity were determined to be 4.059, 5.603, 5.257, 3.819, and 4.195 mg mL −1 , respectively. All the above five PBPHs were also seen to significantly inhibit ACE activity ( P < 0.0001) in the range of 0.1–1.0 mg mL −1 . The activity of five PBPHs fraction was found for the 2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) assay (the highest was 1.37 mM Trolox equivalent of 30 mg mL −1 of PBPH-trypsin), 1,1diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay (the highest was 204.67 µM Trolox equivalent of 10 mg mL −1 of PBPH-pepsin), and Fe 2+ chelating ability (the highest was 639.73 µM FeSO 4 equivalent of 10 mg mL −1 of PBPH-trypsin). This study indicated that it was feasible to utilize A. platensis phycobiliprotein as a source of bioactive peptides which may be used as functional food and/or nutritional supplements for human health.

Pulsed nanoelectrospray ionization (nanoESI) mass spectrometry has been proven to have several merits compared to its direct current (DC) counterparts, such as high sensitivity, high matrix tolerance, and low electrochemical interference. However, the reliance on external devices like signal generators and power amplifiers limits the technology’s suitability for on-site use. Here, we developed a frequency-amplitude tunable hand-held pulsed high-voltage supply specifically designed for nanoESI. This portable detection system eliminates reliance on bulky ancillary equipment of conventional approaches, with a total mass of 185 g and an ergonomic hand-held configuration. Through systematic modulation of frequency (10–50 kHz) and voltage (1.5–6 kV), the device achieves optimal detection performance across diverse analytical standards and complex matrixes, including serum and cellular samples. The pulse-induced self-cleaning effect prevented nozzle clogging while maintaining functionality under high-salt conditions (855 mM NaCl). To demonstrate clinical applicability, we analyzed 198 serum specimens (100 from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease patients (ASCVD) and 98 age-matched controls), identifying statistically significant dysregulation of multiple metabolites in the ASCVD cohort and achieving a diagnostic accuracy of 85%. Field deployment trials using portable mass spectrometers further validated the system’s potential for rapid on-site diagnostics, establishing a new paradigm for point-of-care analytical technology.
