Preliminary Investigation into the Use of Amino-Acid-Derived Ionic Liquids for Extracting Cellulose from Waste Biomass to Prepare Cellulose Aerogel Adsorbents

Gels
To investigate the feasibility of cellulose extraction from lignocellulosic waste biomass using ionic liquids—a sustainable and efficient approach—for preparing cellulose aerogel adsorbents, we employed a fully green amino acid-derived ionic liquid ...

Amphotropic liquid-crystalline behaviour of glycolipids in amino acid ionic liquids

Liquid Crystals, 2019
We examined lyotropic liquid-crystalline behaviour of glycolipids (GLs) with a normal alkyl chain or a diacetylene-functionalised alkyl chain in several amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs). It was found that the mixtures of GL and AAIL form various nanosegregated liquid-crystalline phases, such as smectic, bicontinuous cubic and hexagonal columnar phases,

Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Synthesis of novel room temperature chiral ionic liquids. application as reaction media for the heck arylation of aza-endocyclic acrylates. [PDF]

, 2010
New achiral and chiral RTILs were prepared using novel and/or optimized synthetic routes. These new series of imidazolinium, imidazolium, pyridinium and nicotine-derived ionic liquids were fully characterized including differential scanning calorimetry ...

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

Interaction and dynamics of ionic liquids based on choline and amino acid anions

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2015
The combination of amino acid anions with the choline cation gives origin to a new and potentially important class of organic ionic liquids that might represent a viable and bio-compatible alternative with respect to the traditional ones. We present here a detailed study of the bulk phase of the prototype system composed of the simplest amino acid ...

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...
