Abstract Once removed from their natural environment, membrane proteins depend on membrane‐mimetic systems to retain native structures and functions. To this end, lipid‐bilayer nanodiscs that are bounded by scaffold or amphiphilic polymers such as styrene/maleic acid (SMA) copolymers have been introduced alternatives detergent micelles liposomes for in vitro membrane‐protein research. Herein, we show an alternating diisobutylene/maleic (DIBMA) copolymer shows equal performance SMA...
Membrane proteins usually need to be extracted from their native environment and separated other membrane components for in-depth in vitro characterization. The use of styrene/maleic acid (SMA) copolymers solubilize surrounding lipids into bilayer nanodiscs is an attractive approach toward this goal. We have recently shown that a diisobutylene/maleic (DIBMA) copolymer similarly solubilizes model cellular membranes but, unlike SMA(3:1), has mild impact on lipid acyl-chain order thermotropic...
Towards the engineering of semiconductors for improved visible light photoelectrochemical degradation organic pollutants in wastewater, we present preparation a Z-scheme heterojunction Bi2O2S and ZnO nanoparticles removal ciprofloxacin from wastewater. The Bi2O2S/ZnO nanocomposite was synthesised via an in-situ hydrothermal method deposited on FTO substrate to form photoanode. photoanodes were characterised with electron microscopy, XRD, photo-electrochemistry, photoluminescence, XPS UV/Vis...
During endocytosis, membrane components move to intraluminal vesicles of the endolysosomal compartment for digestion. At late endosomes, cholesterol is sorted out mainly by two sterol-binding proteins, Niemann-Pick protein type C (NPC)1 and NPC2. To study NPC2-mediated intervesicular transfer, we developed a liposomal assay system. (Abdul-Hammed, M., B. Breiden, M. A. Adebayo, J. O. Babalola, G. Schwarzmann, K. Sandhoff. 2010. Role endosomal lipids NPC2 in transfer fusion. Lipid Res. 51:...
We examined the effect of Niemann-Pick disease type 2 (NPC2) protein and some late endosomal lipids [sphingomyelin, ceramide bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP)] on cholesterol transfer membrane fusion. Of all lipid-binding proteins tested, only NPC2 transferred at a substantial rate, with no ceramide, GM3, galactosylceramide, sulfatide, phosphatidylethanolamine, or phosphatidylserine. Cholesterol was greatly stimulated by BMP, little strongly inhibited sphingomyelin. were also significantly...
Toxic Cr(III) which poses environmental hazard to flora and fauna was efficiently abstracted by low-cost Nauclea diderrichii seed biomass (NDS) with good sequestral capacity for this metal investigated in study. The NDS surface analyses showed that it has a specific area of 5.36 m2/g pHpzc 4.90. Thermogravimetric analysis three consecutive weight losses from 50–200°C (ca. 5%), 200–400°C 35%), >400°C 10%), corresponding external water molecules, structural molecules heat induced condensation...
EG–TiO<sub>2</sub>photoanode was applied for the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole. Significant COD abatement obtained and route proposed.
Abstract Membrane proteins can be examined in near‐native lipid‐bilayer environments with the advent of polymer‐encapsulated nanodiscs. These nanodiscs self‐assemble directly from cellular membranes, allowing vitro probing membrane techniques that have previously been restricted to soluble or detergent‐solubilized proteins. Often, however, high charge densities existing polymers obstruct bioanalytical and preparative techniques. Thus, authors aim fabricate electroneutral—yet...
<title>Abstract</title> Water pollution by dyes remain an important problem that constantly reduces water quality, creating hazard to aquatic flora and fauna, as well terrestrial life. Although adsorption has been a favourite technique exploited remediate this growing menace due its cost-effectiveness environmental friendliness, adsorbents limited in their capacity efficiently remove emerging dye contaminants from wastewater. In work, we present efficient method improve the sequestration of...

Abstract Niemann-Pick type C disease is an inherited fatal disorder characterized by the accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and other lipids in endosomal/lysosomal compartment. Two independent genes responsible for this neurodegenerative have been identified, but precise functions encoded C1 (NPC1) C2 (NPC2) proteins are not yet known. We developed a cell-free assay measuring intermembrane lipid transport examined ability bovine NPC2 (bNPC2) transfer. specifically extracts from...
Using titanium dioxide (TiO2) and its modified forms for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 production hydrogen is a promising route providing solutions to world energy demand in foreseeable future. Here, we report synthesis series efficient stable TiO2 nanoparticles with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via simple combined sonothermal method, followed by hydrothermal treatment. In comparison bare TiO2, synthesized CNT–TiO2 photocatalysts showed improved activities under UVA as well...
Amphiphilic copolymers that directly extract membrane proteins and lipids from cellular membranes to form nanodiscs combine the advantages of harsher mimics with those a native-like environment. Among few commercial polymers are capable forming nanodiscs, alternating diisobutylene/maleic acid (DIBMA) have gained considerable popularity as gentle UV-transparent alternatives aromatic polymers. However, their moderate hydrophobicities high electric charge densities render all existing aliphatic...
