Reliable environmental trace heavy metal analysis with potentiometric ion sensor - reality or a distant dreams by Lisak, Grzegorz

“…In short, it is now clear that solely lowering the detection limit of the ion-selective electrodes does not guarantee development of successful sensors that would meet the requirement of environmental matrices over long term usage. More pressing challenges of the properties and the performance of the potentiometric sensors must be addressed first before considering extending their sensitivity to low analyte concentrations. …”

Ball with hair: modular functionalization of highly stable G-quadruplex DNA nano-scaffolds through N2-guanine modification by Lech, Christopher Jacques, Phan, Anh Tuân

“…Various chemistries including small modifications (N2-methyl-guanine), bulky aromatic modifications (N2-benzyl-guanine), and long chain-like modifications (N2-6-amino-hexyl-guanine) are tested and are found to be generally compatible with G-quadruplex formation. …”

Myristoylation restricts orientation of the GRASP domain on membranes and promotes membrane tethering by Heinrich, Frank, Nanda, Hirsh, Goh, Haw Zan, Bachert, Collin, Lösche, Mathias, Linstedt, Adam D.

“…The mammalian Golgi reassembly stacking protein (GRASP) proteins are Golgi-localized homotypic membrane tethers that organize Golgi stacks into a long, contiguous ribbon-like structure. It is unknown how GRASPs undergo trans pairing given that cis interactions between the proteins in the plane of the membrane are intrinsically favored. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Multi-colony coral skeletal Ba/Ca from Singapore’s turbid urban reefs : relationship with contemporaneous in-situ seawater parameters by Tanzil, Jani Thuaibah Isa, Goodkin, Nathalie Fairbank, Sin, T. M., Chen, Mengli, Fabbro, Gareth Nicholas, Boyle, E. A., Lee, A. C., Toh, K. B.

“…This implies that (1) the incorporation of terrestrially derived humic-like substances into the coral is independent of Ba, and (2) it is likely factors other than freshwater discharge/flood events are driving the poor reproducibility of Ba/Cacoral and disconnect with BaSW at our study sites. …”
