Molecular basis for dengue virus broad cross-neutralization by humanized monoclonal antibody 513 by Wong, Yee Hwa, Kumar, Akshita, Liew, Chong Wai, Tharakaraman, Kannan, Srinivasaraghavan, Kannan, Sasisekharan, Ram, Verma, Chandra, Lescar, Julien

“…We found that a Glu at position H55 (GluH55) from the second Complementarity Determining Region of the Heavy chain (CDR-H2) which corresponds to Ala in 4E11, is a major contributor to the enhancement in the interactions of mAb 513 compared to 4E11. …”

Graphene quantum dot as drug carriers by Lee, Angeline Jia Hui

“…The optimal condition for the drug loading onto the GQDs occurred at pH 8 while drug release was triggered rapidly at pH 5.5 (tumor pH). This experimental result provides an indication that the loading and release of beta- Lapachone can be controlled by changes in the pH of the solution. …”

Two-steps preparation method of tetraethyl orthosilicate sol-gel and its impact on glucose oxidase. by Chen, Hong Hua.

“…In this paper, glucose oxidase(GOD) is immobilized in the TEOS sol gel with pH=5.5, which is prepared by combining the acid based sol and alkaline base sol, called two steps sol gel process. …”

Novel three-phase anaerobic digestion with cogeneration of bio-hydrogen and bio-methane by Loh, Wee Loon.

“…However, it was also observed that the acclimated sludge from CSTR controlled at pH 5.5 yielded the best result among all external inocula due to its ability to produce more butyrate, twice as much as the inhibitory level of 50mM at tested pH ranges. …”

Granular fermentation enables high rate caproic acid production from solid-free thin stillage by Carvajal-Arroyo, José M., Candry, Pieter, Andersen, Stephen J., Props, Ruben, Seviour, Thomas, Ganigué, Ramon, Rabaey, Korneel

“…Using a fermentative expanded granular sludge bed reactor, caproic acid was produced at sustained rates of 12.3 g C6 L⁻¹ d⁻¹ (625 mmol C L⁻¹ d⁻¹ or 27.2 g C6-COD L⁻¹ d⁻¹) at pH 5.5, and concentrations of up to 6.8 g C6 L⁻¹. …”

Microneedle-coupled epidermal sensors for in-situ-multiplexed ion detection in interstitial fluids by Zhu, Dan Dan, Tan, Yu Rong, Zheng, Lewen, Lao, Jia Zheng, Liu, Ji Yang, Yu, Jing, Chen, Peng

“…The potentiometric sensor can simultaneously detect these ion species with nearly Nernstian response, in the ranges wider enough for diagnosis purposes (Na+: 0.75-200 mM, K+: 1-128 mM, Ca2+: 0.25-4.25 mM, pH: 5.5-8.5). The in vivo experiments on mice, human, and plants demonstrate the feasibility of MNP-EA for timely and convenient diagnosis of ion imbalances with minimal invasiveness. …”

Reductive dechlorination under acidic condition by Jiang, Xie

“…In this project, the anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (anSBR) was acclimated and operated at pH 5.5. The reduction of pH followed the step-wise reduction manner at the rate of 0.5 per week. …”
