A bioinorganic hybrid system based on bacterial surface display and biomimetic silicification for hydrogen production.
A lead-specific binding protein, PbrR, and promoter pbr from the lead resistance operon, pbr, of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 was incorporated into E. coli in conjunction with an engineered downstream RFP (red fluorescence protein), which allowed for highly sensitive selective whole-cell detection ions. The subsequent display PbrR on cell surface permitted adsorption ions solution containing various heavy metal surface-engineered bacteria effectively protected Arabidopsis thaliana seed...
Pathogenic microorganisms in the environment are a great threat to global human health. The development of disinfection method with rapid and effective antibacterial properties is urgently needed. In this study, biomimetic silver binding peptide AgBP2 was introduced develop facile synthesis biocompatible Ag2 S quantum dots (QDs). capped QDs exhibited excellent fluorescent emission second near-infrared (NIR-II) window, physical stability photostability aqueous phase. Under 808 nm NIR laser...
The coordination bond between gold and sulfur (Au-S) has been widely studied utilized in many fields. However, detailed investigations on the basic nature of this are still lacking. A gold-specific binding protein, GolB, was recently identified, providing a unique opportunity for study Au-S at molecular level. We probed mechanical strength gold-sulfur GolB using single-molecule force spectroscopy. measured rupture to be 165 pN, much lower than bonds different surfaces (∼1000 pN). further...
Mercury contamination represents a global threat. A simple, sensitive, and rapid means of detecting trace mercury is urgently needed. Herein, we have developed series biosensors by combining quorum sensing-based positive feedback systems with mercury-specific operon, merR. Our results demonstrated that the sensitivity fluorescence intensity engineered E. coli cells were greatly improved thanks to system. In addition, fitting signals classic Hill equation, discovered responses close...
Semiartificial photosynthetic systems have shown tremendous potential to address global energy issues by combining the exceptional optical properties of nanomaterials with biological whole-cell catalysts. To achieve sustainable conversion between inorganic materials and whole cells in semiartificial systems, it is highly desirable introduce biocompatible broad light adsorption into hybrid catalysis system. Herein, we developed a biohybrid catalyst situ synthesized Ag2S QDs for...
Abstract Pathogenic microorganisms in the environment are a great threat to global human health. The development of disinfection method with rapid and effective antibacterial properties is urgently needed. In this study, biomimetic silver binding peptide AgBP2 was introduced develop facile synthesis biocompatible Ag 2 S quantum dots (QDs). capped QDs exhibited excellent fluorescent emission second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) window, physical stability photostability aqueous phase. Under 808 nm...
Metal clusters, such as iron–sulfur play key roles in sustaining life and are intimately involved the functions of metalloproteins.
Detection and recovery of heavy metals from environmental sources is a major task in protection governance. Based on previous research into cell-based visual detection biological adsorption, we have developed novel system combining these two functions by the BioBrick technique. The gold-specific sensory gol regulon was assembled gold-chaperone GolB (Gold-specific binding protein), which responsible for selectively absorbing gold ions, this led to an integration with increased probe tolerance...
The decay of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures followed by the generation hot electrons has attracted widespread attention from researchers due to its potential for injecting into silicon generate photocurrent and achieve infrared photodetection. However, extremely low photoconversion efficiency limits their large-scale practical application. Despite extensive research on electron devices based various gold/silicon nanoholes (Au/Si NHs), understanding individual Au/Si NHs remains...
