Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a notorious pathogen with biofilm-forming and drug-resistant properties that make it difficult to eradicate. In this study, the inhibition of MRSA (ATCC 43300) by Starmerella bacillaris CC-PT4 (CGMCC No. 23573) was evaluated. The results showed that the inhibition of MRSA growth and biofilm was caused by S. bacillaris CC-PT4 cell-free supernatant (CFS). The CFS of S. bacillaris CC PT4 at different times can effectively inhibit the formation of MRSA biofilm, remove the preformed biofilm, and down-regulate the related genes that promote the formation of biofilm. Afterwards, untargeted metabolomics was performed to analyze the CFS of S. bacillaris CC-PT4. Several molecules with antibacterial and inhibitory biofilm effects from the CFS were found, one of which, 2-amino-1-phenylethanol (APE), has not been reported to have antiMRSA ability before. In this study, molecular docking analysis and in vitro experiments were used to verify the function of APE to inhibit MRSA. These results indicate that S. bacillaris CC-PT4 CFS can effectively inhibit MRSA which has potential application value in controlling MRSA.

A novel chelating resin (PPS-ATD) containing N and S elements was prepared through the chloromethylation of polyphenylene sulfide resin and subsequent functionalization with 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (ATD). The structure of PPS-ATD was systematically characterized and analyzed by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive spectrometer. The adsorption performance of PPS-ATD was evaluated by batch methods at different pH, temperature, adsorption time, and initial concentration, and the results showed that the PPS-ATD exhibited high adsorption capacity (197.79 mg·g −1 at 298 K) and selectivity for Hg(II). The adsorption of PPS-ATD for Hg(II) was well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model, and the adsorption process was endothermic. After 5 consecutive regeneration cycles, no obvious loss in the adsorption capacity of the PPS-ATD was found, which implied that the PPS-ATD had great application prospects in the treatment of mercury-containing wastewater.

Porous organic cages (POCs) have attracted extensive attention due to their unique structures and tremendous application potential in numerous areas. In this study, an enantioselective potentiometric sensor composed of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane electrode modified with CC3-R POC material was used for the recognition of enantiomers of 2-amino-1-butanol. After optimisation, the developed sensor exhibited enantioselectivity towardS-2-amino-1-butanol (logKS,RPot= −0.98) with acceptable sensitivity, and a near-Nernstian response of 25.8 ± 0.3 mV/decade within a pH range of 6.0–9.0.Keywords:enantioselective potentiometric sensor;2-amino-1-butanol;chiral porous organic cage;CC3-R;PVC membrane electrode

Chiral vicinal amino alcohols are important chiral building blocks and intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry . The transaminase (TAm) catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic amino alcohols provides a straightforward approach to access these important compounds. This study describes the development of a novel microtiter plate assay to screen vicinal amino alcohol-specific TAms using a tetrazolium red-based colorimetric assay to monitor the rate of α-hydroxy ketone formation at 510 nm. This approach is the first to determine the Michaelis-Menten parameters for a recombinant TAm (PpbauA) from Pseudomonas putida NBRC14164. The corresponding V max and K M values for both enantiomers of 2-amino-1-propanol and 2-amino-1-butanol were obtained, and the calculated kinetic E-factors of PpbauA toward 2-amino-1-propanol and 2-amino-1-butanol are 3 (S) and 6 (R), respectively. The method is sensitive and exhibits low level background coloration. Moreover, this method can be used to detect transaminase activity and enantioselectivity toward amino alcohols in a high-throughput format. Additionally, this simple method is compatible with the most widely used (R)- and (S)-selective transaminases and may be a broadly applicable tool for screening transaminases from a transaminase mutant library.

2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenyl-imidazo [4,5-b] pyridine (PhIP) is a harmful compound that is formed during the high-temperature processing of meat products, and the risk of cancer may be increased with the prolonged intake of foods containing high levels of PhIP. This study aimed to develop an innovative detection method specifically for PhIP in meat products. Utilizing hydrogel-molecular-imprinting electrochemical sensing technology, the preparation conditions of molecularly imprinted hydrogels (MIHs) were optimized. Consequently, a highly selective and rapid detection method for PhIP was successfully established, integrated with an electrochemical workstation. The results indicate that the prepared MIHs exhibit an excellent specific recognition performance for PhIP. The sensor exhibited a linear response within the concentration range of 1.0–200.0 ng/mL, with a detection limit of 0.07 ng/mL (S/N = 3) under optimized conditions. In addition, the accuracy and reliability of the method were verified by spiked recovery experiments, and the recoveries ranged from 75.9% to 108.8%, which demonstrated its high accuracy and potential for practical application.

Excited state dynamics of 5-azacytosine (5-AC), 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine (2,4-DT), and 2-amino-1,3,5-triazine (2-AT) were comprehensively investigated by steady state absorption, fluorescence, and femtosecond transient absorption measurements. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations were performed to help assign the absorption bands and understand the excited state decay mechanisms. The experimental results of excited singlet state dynamics for 5-AC, 2,4-DT, and 2-AT with femtosecond time resolution were reported for the first time. Two distinct decay pathways, with ∼1 ps and tens of picosecond lifetimes, were observed in 5-AC. Only one decay pathway with 17 ps lifetime was observed in 2,4-DT while an emissive state was found in 2-AT. TDDFT calculations suggest that 5-AC has a dark nπ* (S1) state below the first allowed ππ* (S2) state, which leads to the ultrafast decay of the ππ* state. In 2,4-DT, there is no dark nπ* state below the bright ππ* (S1) state and the 17 ps lifetime is assigned to the relaxation from the ππ* (S1) state to ground state. Two dark nπ* states (S1 and S2) were found in 2-AT, which exhibits much more complex excited state dynamics compared with the other two. Photoluminescence in 2-AT has been confirmed to be fluorescence emission from its bright ππ* (S3) state. Our results strongly suggest that electronic structures are very sensitive to the substitution on the triazine ring and that the photophysical properties of nucleic acid analogues depend highly on their molecular structures.

New absorbents combining the advantages of phase separation and easily regenerated products were prepared with 2-methyl-2-amino-1-propanol (AMP) as the main absorbent and tertiary amines as the auxiliary absorbents and phase splitters. The absorption performances of absorbents containing different tertiary amines were systematically compared. Among these tertiary amines, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine (TMPDA) exhibited the most effective properties. For the absorbent TMPDA–AMP–H2O system (TAH), an absorption load of approximately 2.6 mol/kg was achieved. The kinetic and thermodynamic properties of TAH absorption were evaluated. It was found that the absorption products were readily decomposed into HCO3–, and the regeneration efficiency of TAH was above 91% at 358 K, while the regeneration energy consumption was only 2.0 GJ/t CO2. It should be noted that the addition of TMPDA effectively inhibited the precipitation of bicarbonate, thus leading to a higher absorption capacity and lower energy consumption per ton of CO2 loaded.

A competitive colorimetric assay has been established to detect chloramphenicol (CAP). It is based on the use of colloidal and electrostatically stabilized aptamer-modified gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The CAP aptamer is modified by a sequence of 5 adenosine groups to anchor it on the surface of GNPs. It can competitively capture two compounds, viz. D-(-)-threo-2-amino-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3-propanediol (CAP-base, with a positive charge) and CAP (which is uncharged). The capture of the positively charged CAP-base triggers the aggregation of modified GNPs in salt-containing solution, and this causes a color change from red to purple. However, in the presence of CAP and CAP-base, the capture of the uncharged CAP weakens this color change by a competing process for capture. Thus, the concentration of CAP is associated with the degree of deaggregation of GNPs and can be quantified by the ratio of absorbances at 620 nm and 520 nm. The assay has a 22 nM limit of detection in acidic solution, and the response is linear in the range of 0.20 to 3.20 μM CAP concentration. This assay was successfully applied to the determination of CAP in spiked environmental water samples. Conceivably, this method has a wide scope in that it may be applied to a wide range of analytes if respective aptamers are available.
Schematic presentation of a competitive non-cross linking deaggregating method for detecting chloramphenicol. The surface charge of polyA-Apt@GNPs and its aggregation degree (purple) are determined by the charge of target. (CAP-base: precursor of CAP; PolyA-Apt@GNPs: 5′-polyA-modified DNA aptamer functionalized gold nanoparticles.)

While tremendous progress has recently been made in perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), large-area blue devices feature inferior performance due to uneven morphologies and vast defects in the solution-processed perovskite films. To alleviate these issues, a facile and reliable interface engineering scheme is reported for manipulating the crystallization of perovskite films enabled by a multifunctional molecule 2-amino-1,3-propanediol (APDO)-triggered “anchoring effect” at the grain-growth interface. Sky-blue perovskite films with large-area uniformity and low trap states are obtained, showing the distinctly improved radiative recombination and hole-transport capability. Based on the APDO-induced interface engineering, synergistical boost in device performance is achieved for large-area sky-blue PeLED (measuring at 100 mm 2 ) with a peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 9.2% and a highly prolonged operational lifetime. A decent EQE up to 6.1% is demonstrated for the largest sky-blue device emitting at 400 mm 2 .
