A self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on a Ti3O/rutile TiO2 (Ti3O/R-TiO2) heterophase junction nanocomposite is constructed for a highly sensitive and specific detection of tetracycline (TC). The Ti3O/R-TiO2 heterophase junction is successfully grown in situ on a Ti substrate via a one-step calcination method. XRD and Rietveld refinement results confirm that the contents of Ti3O and R-TiO2 can be tuned by the adjustment of the calcination temperature. Benefiting from the improved generation and separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs as a result of the introduction of metallic phase Ti3O and heterophase junction, the Ti3O/R-TiO2 photoelectrode prepared at 700 °C (Ti3O/R-TiO2-700) and beyond presents much higher photocurrent density than the photoelectrode with pure R-TiO2 under light irradiation. More importantly, a self-powered PEC sensor with good performance was constructed for TC detection by using Ti3O/R-TiO2-700 as a photoelectrode. This PEC sensor displays a wide working range (3–300 μM) and a low detecting limit (0.039 μM) as well as good sensitivity. Additionally, a possible charge separation mechanism over the Ti3O/R-TiO2 heterophase junction is also proposed. This work provides valuable insight into the design and development of high-performance photoelectrodes through the modulation of crystal phases in nanocomposites for highly effective chemical sensors.

In this study, The solubility of (R,S)-mandelic acid in different solvents, including mono-solvent (H 2 O, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol) and binary solvents (methanol + H 2 O, ethanol + H 2 O, n-propanol + H 2 O, isopropanol + H 2 O, n-butanol + H 2 O), using analytical stirred-flask method and weight analysis method to determine the compositions of the saturated solutions at the atmospheric pressure. We found that the experimental solubility values increased with the rising of temperature accordingly. The experimental solubilities were correlated by the Ideal model, Apelblat model, λh (Buchowski) model, Wilson model, NRTL model. The results have shown that the Wilson model is the best model, which correlates the solubility of (R, S)-mandelic acid in the mono-solvent and binary solvents and fits well with experimental data. In addition, the thermodynamic properties of dissolution were calculated according to Van’t Hoff equation and experimental solubility, including Gibbs energy, entropy and enthalpy. The result confirms that the dissolution process in all solvents is always endothermic and entropy driven.

In this study, a novel lipase M5 derived from Aspergillus oryzae WZ007 was prone to exhibit high hydrolytic activity and stereoselectivity towards racemic substrate ( R , S )-ethyl 2-bromoisovalerate. ( R )-ethyl 2-bromoisovalerate was obtained by enzymatic resolution, which is the key chiral intermediate for highly efficient enantiomerically fluvalinate. The results showed that the enzymatic reaction was carried out in 120mM racemic substrate for 3 hours, the enantiomeric excess reached 98.6%, the conversion was 51.7%, and E value above 120. Therefore, the novel lipase M5 has the ability to efficiently produce ( R )-ethyl 2-bromoisovalerate, which greatly reduces the industrial production cost of the highly efficient counterpart of fluvalinate.

A sensitive and selective method based on a poly(alizarin yellow R)-modified carbon paste electrode (PAYR/CPE) to detect dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) was successfully established. The morphology of the electrode surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical characterization of the PAYR/CPE was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). It was illustrated that the PAYR/CPE had excellent electro-catalytic ability toward the oxidation of DA. The anodic peak current of DA was greatly enhanced at the PAYR/CPE, and the standard rate constant (ks) was calculated to be 6.17 s−1. The linear calibration curves were obtained as 0.49–70.1 μM and 83.6–488.1 μM for DA and 27.8–304.4 μM and 381.6–1118 μM for UA by DPV. The detection limits were 0.16 μM for DA and 9.5 μM for UA. Moreover, the modified electrode was applied to the selective detection of DA and UA with high sensitivity and selectivity. Furthermore, the modified electrode displayed high reproducibility and stability for determination of these species. Thus, the proposed electrode could be conveniently employed for the determination of DA and UA in real samples and provide satisfactory results.

( R )-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionic acid (( R )-HPOPA) is an important intermediate for the synthesis of optically pure aryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicides. Regioselective hydroxylation of ( R )-2-phenoxypropionic acid (( R )-POPA) by microbes is one of the most useful methods for the industrial production of ( R )-HPOPA. In this study, we designed and optimized a rapid throughput assay for screening ( R )-HPOPA producing bacterial/fungal strains which can regioselectively hydroxylate ( R )-POPA. ( R )-HPOPA could react with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) in the presence of potassium hexacyanoferrate (K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ]) to form indoxyl antipyrine, an orange-red chromophore, that can easily spectrophotometrically be determined at 550 nm. During the verification of the assay we observed an average recovery rate of between 97.3% and 104.5%. Apart from the rapid throughput, no obvious differences in detection ( R )-HPOPA in the culture broth samples were found between our rapid throughput multiplate assay and a high-performance liquid chromatography method. Our optimized assay method is simple, rapid and accurate with high repeatability. It has the potential for high throughput screening (about 3000–5000 samples/day) of the ( R )-HPOPA producing strains.

Functionalization of ligands is an effective strategy to enhance the adsorption performance of adsorbents. In this study, MIL-101(Fe)-R (R = -H, –OH, –NH 2 , and –NO 2 ) was selected as a platform for systematically studying the impact of functionalization on the adsorption behavior of chlortetracycline (CTC). A series of characterizations were conducted on the prepared MIL-101(Fe)-R to clarify the influence of organic linkers on the microscopic morphology, pore structure, and surface functionality of the adsorbents. Additionally, the effects of different functional groups on the adsorption behavior of MIL-101(Fe)-R were compared to screen for MOFs with high efficiency in removing CTC. Experimental results showed that the maximum adsorption capacities (q m ) of MIL-101(Fe), MIL-101(Fe)–NH 2 , MIL-101(Fe)–OH, and MIL-101(Fe)–NO 2 were 418.980 mg/g, 559.854 mg/g, 187.387 mg/g, and 154.131 mg/g, respectively. Among them, MIL-101(Fe)–NH 2 exhibited a higher mass transfer rate (reaching equilibrium in 15 min). Based on apparent adsorption behavior, adsorption kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamic studies, as well as FTIR and XPS characterizations before and after adsorption, the performance modulation mechanism of MIL-101(Fe)-R in CTC adsorption was discussed in detail. Combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the host–guest interaction controlling the adsorption behavior was understood at the molecular level, demonstrating the optimal binding sites of the adsorbents. This study provides guidance for the design of efficient MOF adsorbents for antibiotic wastewater treatment.

Flurbiprofen axetil (FA) is a prodrug of flurbiprofen (FP), and it is hydrolyzed to the active FP by carboxylesterase in plasma after intravenous injection. The pharmacological action of FP is closely related to its chirality, and S-FP shows better analgesic effects than R-FP. Therefore, it is of great significance to compare the in vivo pharmacokinetic behaviors of R-FP and S-FP. In this study, we designed a sensitive high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method and used CHIRALPAK-IG3 column for chiral separation to quantify the concentrations of R-FP and S-FP in rat plasma. The results show that this method can accurately and effectively analyze the contents of R-FP and S-FP in plasma. In addition, the systemic exposure was approximately 3.09-folds for the S-FP compared with the R-FP following intravenous administration of the FA to rats at a single dose of 4.5 mg/kg. More importantly, the clearance rate of S-FP is significantly smaller than that of R-FP. Therefore, the development of S-FA injectable emulsion for clinical treatment of postoperative pain is very necessary.

An efficient multi-enzyme cascade reaction for the synthesis of ( R )- or ( S )-2-hydroxybutyric acid [( R )- or ( S )-2-HB] from l -threonine was developed by using recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing separately or co-expressing l -threonine deaminase from Escherichia coli K-12 ( ilvA ), formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Candida boidinii and l -lactate dehydrogenase ( l -LDH) from Oryctolagus cuniculus or d -lactate dehydrogenase ( d -LDH) from Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228. Up to 750 mM of l -threonine were completely transformed to ( R )- or ( S )-2-HB in optically pure form (>99% ee ) with high isolated yields. This one-pot multi-enzyme transformation provides a new practical method for the synthesis of these important optically pure compounds.

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) with good photostability and outstanding photoluminescence features are very promising luminous materials for the fabrication of white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). However, the requirement of an aqueous environment and poor thermal stability have strongly restricted their wide applications in lighting devices. In this paper, we present a facile strategy to encapsulate R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) fluorescent proteins into a blue metal organic framework (MOF) HSB-W1 (HSB = hydrogenated Schiff base) thin film through a facile solid-confinement conversion process. As a result, R-PE proteins embedded into HSB-W1 crystals are denatured, but exhibit dual color fluorescence emissions including green (518 nm) and red (600, 647 nm) light, while the original single orange light (578 nm) is significantly suppressed. After careful adjustment of R-PE content, the resulting R-PE@HSB-W1 thin film emits high-quality white light with nearly ideal Commission Internationale de I’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.34), a high color rendering index (CRI) value of approximately 85 and a moderately correlated color temperature (CCT) value of 5740 K. Such a strategy can be widely utilized for other fluorescent molecules and luminescent MOFs to design white-light-emitting materials.

In this study, biomass-hydrolysate was used for enhancing the bioreduction of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE). Firstly, dilute alkalic salt pretreatment was attempted to pretreat bamboo shoot shell (BSS). It was found that enzymatic in situ hydrolysis of 20–50 g/L BSS pretreated with dilute alkalic salts (0.4% Na 2 CO 3 , 0.032% Na 2 S) at 7.5% sulfidity by autoclaving at 110 °C for 40 min gave sugar yields at 59.9%–73.5%. Moreover, linear relationships were corrected on solid recovery-total delignification-sugar yield. In BSS-hydrolysates, xylose and glucose could promote the reductase activity of recombinant E. coli CCZU-A13. Compared with glucose, hydrolysate could increase the reductase activity by 1.35-folds. Furthermore, the cyclohexane-hydrolysate (10:90, v/v) biphasic media containing ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA, 40 mM) and l -glutamine (150 mM) was built for the effective biosynthesis of ethyl ( R )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate [( R )-CHBE] (94.6% yield) from 500 mM COBE. In conclusion, this strategy has high potential for the effective biosynthesis of ( R )-CHBE (>99% e.e. ).

Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) can catalyze the asymmetric sulfoxidation to form pharmaceutical prazoles in environmentally friendly approach. In this work, the thermostable BVMO named PockeMO had high sulfoxidation activity towards rabeprazole sulfide to form ( R )-rabeprazole but demonstrated significant overoxidation activity to form undesired sulfone by-product. To address this issue, the enzyme was engineered based on the computer assisted comparison for the substrate binding conformations. A mutant S482Y/L532Q (MU2) was obtained with much alleviated overoxidation activity and enhanced sulfoxidation activity towards rabeprazole sulfide. The catalytic efficiency for ( R )-rabeprazole oxidation decreased 35 folds and increased 40 folds for the sulfoxidation of lansoprazole sulfide. The structural mechanism for the selectivity improvement was illuminated to find a selectivity decision pocket that was conservatively present in BVMOs composed of 4 loops. In upscaled reaction system, the substrate loading for MU2 increased from 40 mM to 100 mM for the synthesis of enantiopure ( R )-rabeprazole. The sulfone content decreased from 16.6 % to 1.2 % compared to PockeMO. Lansoprazole sulfide could also be fully converted into enantiopure ( R )-lansoprazole at 50 mM in 4 h by MU2 while PockeMO almost did not have activity. This work indicated the synthetic applicability of MU2 for active pharmaceutical ( R )-prazoles.

(R)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol is an important synthon for the preparation of β-adrenergic blocking agents. This study identified a (2R,3R)-butanediol dehydrogenase (KgBDH) from Kurthia gibsonii SC0312, which showed high enantioselectivity for production of (R)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol by reduction of 2-hydroxyacetophenone. KgBDH was expressed in a recombinant engineered strain, purified, and characterized. It showed good catalytic activity at pH 6–8 and better stability in alkaline (pH 7.5–8) than an acidic environment (pH 6.0–7.0), providing approximately 73 and 88% of residual activity after 96 h at pH 7.5 and 8.0, respectively. The maximum catalytic activity was obtained at 45°C; nevertheless, poor thermal stability was observed at >30°C. Additionally, the examined metal ions did not activate the catalytic activity of KgBDH. A recombinant Escherichia coli strain coexpressing KgBDH and glucose dehydrogenase (GHD) was constructed and immobilized via entrapment with a mixture of activated carbon and calcium alginate via entrapment. The immobilized cells had 1.8-fold higher catalytic activity than that of cells immobilized by calcium alginate alone. The maximum catalytic activity of the immobilized cells was achieved at pH 7.5, and favorable pH stability was observed at pH 6.0–9.0. Moreover, the immobilized cells showed favorable thermal stability at 25–30°C and better operational stability than free cells, retaining approximately 55% of the initial catalytic activity after four cycles. Finally, 81% yields (195 mM product) and >99% enantiomeric excess (ee) of (R)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol were produced within 12 h through a fed-batch strategy with the immobilized cells (25 mg/ml wet cells) at 35°C and 180 rpm, with a productivity of approximately 54 g/L per day.
