Antibodies are one of the most important protein molecules in biopharmaceutics. Due to the recent advance in technology for producing monoclonal antibodies, many structural data are available on the antigen-antibody complexes. To characterize the molecular interaction in antigen-antibody recognition, we computationally analyzed 500 complex structures by molecular mechanics calculations. The presence of Ser and Tyr is markedly large in the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). Although Ser is abundant in CDRs, its contribution to the binding score is not large. Instead, Tyr, Asp, Glu, and Arg significantly contribute to the molecular interaction from the viewpoint of the binding score. The decomposition of the binding score suggests that the hydrophilic interaction is predominant in all CDRs compared with the hydrophobic one. The contribution of the heavy chain is larger than that of the light chain. In particular, H2 and H3 largely contribute to the binding interaction. Tyr is a main contributing residuntigen-antibody contact is not so high as that of the compound-target protein contact. There exist many water molecules at the antigen-antibody interface. These findings suggest that Tyr, Asp, Glu, and Arg are rich in H3 and work as major contributors for the interaction with the antigen. Ser, Thr, Asn, and Gln are rich in H2 and support the interaction with enhancing molecular fitness. Gly is helpful in increasing flexibility and geometrical diversity. Because the antigen-antibody binding is fundamentally hydrophilic-driven, the non-polar residues are unfavorable for mediating the contact even for the aromatic residues such as Phe and Trp.In this study, regenerated silk (RS) obtained from Bombyx Mori cocoons is compounded with carboxyl-functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) in an aqueous environment for the fabrication of functional bio-adhesives. Molecular interactions between RS and carboxyl groups of CNTs result in structural increase of the β-sheet formation, obtaining a resistant adhesive suitable for a wet biological substrate. find more Moreover, the functionalization of CNTs promotes their dispersion in RS, thus enabling the production of films with controlled electrical conductivity. The practical utility of such a property is demonstrated through the fabrication of a piezoelectric device implanted in a rat to monitor the breathing in vivo and to be used as a self-powered system. Finally, RS/f-CNTs were used as a printable biomaterial ink to three dimensionally print bilayer hollow tubular structures composed of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and RS. Initial tests carried out by seeding and growing human skin fibroblasts demonstrated that the 3D printed bilayer hollow cylindrical structures offer a suitable surface for the seeded cells to attach and proliferate. In general, the herein proposed RS/f-CNT composite serves as a versatile material for solvent-free dispersion processing and 3D printing, thus paving a new approach to prepare multifunctional materials with potential applications of great interest in sealing biological substrates and implantable devices for regenerative medicine.Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) has recently demonstrated the exceptional sensitivity to observe vibrational structures on the atomic scale. However, it strongly relies on electromagnetic enhancement in plasmonic nanogaps. Here, we demonstrate that atomic point contact (APC) formation between a plasmonic tip and the surface of a bulk Si sample can lead to a dramatic enhancement of Raman scattering and consequently the phonons of the reconstructed Si(111)-7 × 7 surface can be detected. Furthermore, we demonstrate the chemical sensitivity of APC-TERS by probing local vibrations resulting from Si-O bonds on the partially oxidized Si(111)-7 × 7 surface. This approach will expand the applicability of ultrasensitive TERS, exceeding the previous measurement strategies that exploit intense gap-mode plasmons, typically requiring a plasmonic substrate.Novel group IV - V 2D semiconductors (e.g., GeAs and SiAs) have arisen as an attractive candidate for broad-band photodetection and optoelectronic applications. This 2D family has a wide tunable band gap, excellent thermodynamic stability, and strong in-plane anisotropy. However, their photonic and optoelectronic properties have not been extensively explored so far. This work demonstrates a broadband back-to-back metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) Schottky photodiode with asymmetric contact geometries based on multilayered 2D GeAs. The photodetector exhibited a Schottky barrier height (SBH) in the range of 0.40-0.49 eV. Additionally, it showed a low dark current of 1.8 nA with stable, reproducible, and excellent broadband spectral response from UV to optical communication wavelengths. The highest measured responsivity in the visible is 905 A/W at 660 nm wavelength and 98 A/W for 1064 nm near-infrared at an applied voltage of -3 V and zero back gate. Most notably, the planner configuration of this GeAs photodetector showed a low detector capacitance below 1.2 pf and low voltage operation ( less then 1 V). The stability and broadband response of the device are promising for this 2D material's application in advanced optoelectronic devices.Herein, a Au-Au/IrO2 nanocomposite with tandem enzyme-mimicking activity was innovatively synthesized, which can show outstanding glucose oxidase (GOx)-like activity and peroxidase-like activity simultaneously under neutral conditions. Moreover, a Au-Au/IrO2@Cu(PABA) reactor was prepared via encapsulation of the Au-Au/IrO2 nanocomposite in a Cu(PABA) metal organic framework. The reactor not only exhibits excellent organic solvent stability, acid resistance, and reusability but also displays better cascade reaction catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km = 148.86 min-1 mM-1) than the natural free enzyme system (GOx/HRP) (kcat/Km = 98.20 min-1 mM-1) and Au-Au/IrO2 nanocomposite (kcat/Km = 135.24 min-1 mM-1). In addition, it is found that the reactor can catalyze glucose or dissolved oxygen to produce active oxygen species (ROS) including HO, 1O2, and O2-· through its enzyme-mimicking activity. Finally, the novel reactor was successfully used in organic dye degradation and antibacterial application. The results show that it can effectively degrade methyl orange, methylene blue, and rhodamine B, which all can reach a degradation rate of nearly 100% after interacting with Au-Au/IrO2@Cu (PABA) for 3.
