SP1 protein as a new type of biological nanopore is described and is utilized to distinguish single-stranded DNA at the single-molecule level. Using the SP1 nanopore to investigate single molecule detection broadens the ...
We report, for the first time, an in situ formation of two-component hydrogels from pyridine derivatives of poly(aryl ether) dendrons and tartaric acid. The two-component system (dendron + acid) undergoes J-type aggregat...
A stronger metal-support interaction between Pd and plate-form Ga2O3 nanocrystals covered with the predominant 002 surface than other Ga2O3 surfaces is found, which gives higher methanol yield in catalytic CO2 hydrogenat...
A reusable sensing strategy employing magnetic nanoparticles and thymine-containing aptamers was developed to detect Hg2+ in real water samples based on "turn-on'' resonance light scattering. The LOD was as low as 500 fM...
A porous Mg-based 3D metal-organic framework with unique nanoscale cages and two-fold interpenetrating pcu nets has been synthesized and characterized. It shows gas-uptake capacities for N-2, H-2, O-2 and CO2 at low temp...
A new bolaamphiphile comprising a 5,5 '''''-diphenyl-sexithiophene core with glycerol groups at each end and four lateral decyl chains was synthesized, which self-assembles into a liquid crystalline phase representing a ...
We report the synthesis, characterization, and protein sensing capabilities of M13 bacteriophage-DNA bioconjugates. DNA oligonucleotides were conjugated to M13 through acyl hydrazone linkages. In one case, DNAzymes retai...
ZnSn(OH)(6) and binary-component SnO2-ZnSn(OH)(6) were introduced as affinity probes for phosphopeptide enrichment for the first time. Two strategies, either ZnSn(OH)(6) and SnO2 serial enrichment or binary-component SnO...
Visualization of the state of charge (SOC) in an LiMn0.75Fe0.25PO4 nanorods-graphene hybrid nanostructure (LMFP-C) is realized by chemical mapping of the Fe valance state using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STX...
A novel and facile magnetic-field-induced deposition process was put forward to fabricate nanostructured Co, Ni and CoNi alloy films supported on Cu foil, which are multifunctional nanomaterials with wide applications in...
