Ionic Strength Sensing in Living Cells [PDF]

ACS Chemical Biology, 2017
Knowledge of the ionic strength in cells is required to understand the in vivo biochemistry of the charged biomacromolecules. Here, we present the first sensors to determine the ionic strength in living cells, by designing protein probes based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET).

Exosome Precipitation by Ionic Strength Modulation: ExoPRISM. [PDF]

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces, 2023
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as crucial materials for precision theragnostic applications. However, current separation methods are time-consuming, costly, and not scalable and deliver limited yields or purity. Here, we present EV precipitation by ionic strength modulation (ExoPRISM), a simple, low-cost, user-friendly, and readily adaptable

Ionic strength of the liquid phase of different sludge streams in a wastewater treatment plant

Water Science and Technology, 2022
In a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), several sludge streams exist and the composition of their liquid phase varies with time and place. For evaluating the potential for formation of precipitates and equilibria for weak acids/bases, the ionic strength ...

Pickering Emulsions Stabilized by Tea Water-Insoluble Protein Nanoparticles From Tea Residues: Responsiveness to Ionic Strength

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Tea water-insoluble protein nanoparticles (TWIPNs) can be applied to stabilize Pickering emulsions. However, the effect of ionic strength (0–400 mmol/L) on the characteristics of Pickering emulsions stabilized by TWIPNs (TWIPNPEs) including volume ...

A sensor for intracellular ionic strength [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
Cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) domains are found in >4,000 proteins in species from all kingdoms of life, yet their functions are largely unknown. Tandem CBS domains are associated with membrane transport proteins, most notably members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily; voltage-gated chloride channels and transporters; cation efflux ...

A polysaccharide deacetylase enhances bacterial adhesion in high-ionic-strength environments

iScience, 2021
Summary: Differences in ionic strength, pH, temperature, shear forces, and other environmental factors impact adhesion, and organisms have evolved various strategies to optimize their adhesins for their specific environmental conditions.
