碱性蛋白酶洗涤稳定性提高的研究进展

碱性蛋白酶是液体洗涤剂中使用量最大的一类酶制剂,应用于洗涤剂行业的碱性蛋白酶占碱性蛋白酶市场的60%以上。不同于粉状洗涤剂中的酶制剂被造粒所包裹,液体洗涤剂中的碱性蛋白酶直接暴露于溶液中,与洗涤剂成分如表面活性剂、洗涤助剂及漂白剂直接接触作用,使得蛋白酶洗涤稳定性下降。除此之外,蛋白酶在液体洗涤剂环境中存在普遍的自溶失活现象,对其洗涤性能造成不利影响。如何提升碱性蛋白酶的稳定性是液体洗涤剂领域中的一个热点问题。本文介绍了碱性蛋白酶的催化与失活机制,综述了几种常用于稳定碱性蛋白酶的策略,即添加稳定剂、分子改造和化学修饰,重点介绍了化学修饰中的聚乙二醇化修饰与多糖修饰,对比了两种修饰方法的过程与效果,并在最后对碱性蛋白酶稳定性提高策略进行了展望。

Orthogonal Peptide-Templated Labeling Elucidates Lateral ETAR/ETBR Proximity and Reveals Altered Downstream Signaling

Fine-tuning of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling is important to maintain cellular homeostasis. Recent studies demonstrated that lateral GPCR interactions in the cell membrane can impact signaling profiles. Here, we report on a one-step labeling method of multiple membrane-embedded GPCRs. Based on short peptide tags, complementary probes transfer the cargo (e. g. a fluorescent dye) by an acyl transfer reaction with high spatial and temporal resolution within 5 min. We applied this approach to four receptors of the cardiovascular system: the endothelin receptor A and B (ET_AR and ET_BR), angiotensin II receptor type 1, and apelin. Wild type-like G protein activation after N-terminal modification was demonstrated for all receptor species. Using FRET-competent dyes, a constitutive proximity between hetero-receptors was limited to ET_AR/ET_BR. Further, we demonstrate, that ET_AR expression regulates the signaling of co-expressed ET_BR. Our orthogonal peptide-templated labeling of different GPCRs provides novel insight into the regulation of GPCR signaling.     

High-temperature mechanical property and thermal shock resistance of Al2O3f/Al2O3 composites

Continuous alumina fiber–reinforced alumina matrix composites (Al₂O_3f/Al₂O₃ composites) were produced via sol–gel process, then the high-temperature mechanical property and thermal shock resistance of Al₂O_3f/Al₂O₃ composites were investigated. The results showed that the composites exhibited excellent high-temperature properties. The mechanical property of the composites was affected by heat treatment (prepared at 1100°C exhibited the most desirable mechanical property). The tensile strength of the composites abruptly decreased at higher temperatures. Although the mechanical property of the composites deteriorated after the thermal shock test was conducted at high temperatures, they exhibited excellent thermal shock resistance. After 50 thermal shock tests conducted at 1300 and 1500°C, the flexural strength of the composites was found to be 124.34 and 93.04 MPa, thus showing a decrease in strength with the increasing temperature.     

Effect of alloying element on microstructure,mechanical property,and oxidation resistance of Zr─Me─C (Me═Si/Y) coatings

Accident-tolerant fuels (ATFs) are proposed to provide improved safety response to a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenario while maintaining good operational characteristics under normal conditions. In this work, Zr─Me─C (Me═Si or Y) was proposed as candidate coatings for ATF applications. The influence of Si and Y with varied concentration on microstructural evolution, mechanical property, and oxidation resistance of Zr─Me─C coatings were investigated. Based on combined results of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it was found that Si or Y doped ZrC_0.55 coatings presented tunable composition and microstructure. Improved air oxidation and spallation resistance were achieved with the incorporation of Me atoms, attributing to the formation of SiO₂ and ZrSiO₄ and/or the stabilization of zirconia. Under a simulated LOCA condition, decreased weight gains of 13.6 at.% Si and 22.5 at.% Y coated Zry-4 alloys were achieved. nc-ZrSiC/nc-ZrSi (13.6 at.% Si) coating exhibited enhanced mechanical property and oxidation resistance in both high-temperature air and LOCA conditions, which could be regarded as potential candidate for the applications in ATFs.

Surface-tailoring chlorine resistant materials and strategies for polyamide thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes

Polyamide thin film composite membranes have dominated current reverse osmosis market on account of their excellent separation performances compared to the integrally skinned counterparts. Despite their very promising separation performance, chlorine-induced degradation resulted from the susceptibility of polyamide toward chlorine attack has been regarded as the Achilles’s heel of polyamide thin film composite. The free chlorine species present during chlorine treatment can impair membrane performance through chlorination and depolymerization of the polyamide selective layer. From material point of view, a chemically stable membrane is crucial for the sustainable application of membrane separation process as it warrants a longer membrane lifespan and reduces the cost involved in membrane replacement. Various strategies, particularly those involved membrane material optimization and surface modifications, have been established to address this issue. This review discusses membrane degradation by free chlorine attack and its correlation with the surface chemistry of polyamide. The advancement in the development of chlorine resistant polyamide thin film composite membranes is reviewed based on the state-of-the-art surface modifications and tailoring approaches which include the in situ and post-fabrication membrane modifications using a broad range of functional materials. The challenges and future directions in this field are also highlighted.     

Biodegradable,superhydrophobic walnut wood membrane for the separation of oil/water mixtures

The preparation of environmentally friendly oil/water separation materials remains a great challenge. Freeze-drying of wood after lignin removal yields wood aerogels, which can be used as substrates to prepare fluorine-free environmentally friendly superhydrophobic materials, However, they are more suitable for absorption rather than filtration applications due to their poor strength. A study using cross-sections of pristine wood chips as substrates retains the original strength of wood, but the use of the cross-sectional of wood pieces limits their thickness, strength, and size. In this paper, a degradable fluorine-free superhydrophobic film (max. water contact angle of approximately 164.2°) with self-cleaning and abrasion resistance characteristics was prepared by a one-step method using pristine and activated walnut longitudinal section films as the substrate, with tetraethyl orthosilicate as a precursor and dodecyltriethoxysilane as a modifier. The tensile strength results show that superhydrophobic films with pristine or activated wood substrates maintained the strength of pristine wood and were 2.2 times stronger than the wood aerogel substrate. In addition, after cross-laminating the two samples, the films had the ability to separate oil and water by continuous filtration with high efficiency (98.5%) and flux (approximately 1.3 × 10³ L∙m^‒2∙h^‒1). The method has potential for the large-scale fabrication of degradable superhydrophobic filtration separation membranes.
