A Close Look at the Local Structure of Functional Polymers: The Example of Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride)

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
To accurately develop structure‐property relationships in functional macromolecules, it is increasingly important to consider the local chain arrangement in addition to long‐range order. It is demonstrated in the case of poly(vinylidene fluoride) that solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can provide detailed insights into the local

Superhydrophobic PVDF membrane formed by crystallization process for direct contact membrane distillation

iScience, 2023
Summary: With growing demand for freshwater resources, membrane distillation (MD) attracts intensive attention owing to the possibility of reclaiming almost 100% freshwater with superhydrophobic membranes as the pivotal separation units.

Multicolour fluorescence-detection size-exclusion chromatography for structural genomics of membrane multiprotein complexes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Many interesting and important membrane proteins are hetero-oligomeric. However, besides naturally abundant examples, the structures of relatively few such complexes are known.

Insertion of T4-lysozyme (T4L) can be a useful tool for studying olfactory-related GPCRs. [PDF]

, 2012
The detergents used to solubilize GPCRs can make crystal growth the rate-limiting step in determining their structure. The Kobilka laboratory showed that insertion of T4-lysozyme (T4L) in the 3rd intracellular loop is a promising strategy towards ...

Ideal Molecular Sieving with a Dense MOF for Helium Upgrading with Highly Diffusion Selective Mixed Matrix Membranes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.

Crystallization, data collection and data processing of maltose-binding protein (MalE) from the phytopathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri [PDF]

, 2009
Maltose-binding protein is the periplasmic component of the ABC transporter responsible for the uptake of maltose/maltodextrins. The Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.

A Strong and Water‐Retaining Biomass Adhesive Inspired by Tofu

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the formation mechanism of the traditional food tofu, a strong and water‐retaining adhesive is designed using the soybean meal (SM) oxidized by glucose oxidase (GOx) and calcium sulfate oligomer (CSO). This design strategy effectively addresses the conflicting requirements of water‐resistant bonding strength and water retention

A Novel Approach to Implementing Artificial Thalamic Neurons with Ferroelectric Transistors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Artificial neurons created using CMOS technology often require a large number of transistors and capacitors. This study introduces an artificial thalamic neuron that employs only five CMOS compatible ferroelectric transistors. The manufactured thalamic neuron demonstrates leaky integrate‐and‐fire‐or‐burst (LIFB) functionalities, featuring self ...

Design of ultra-swollen lipidic mesophases for the crystallization of membrane proteins with large extracellular domains

Nature Communications, 2018
In meso crystallization of membrane proteins is limited to proteins with small extracellular domains (ECDs). Here, authors combine monoacylglycerols and phospholipids to design stable ultra-swollen bicontinuous cubic phases that allow in meso ...
