Herein, we propose rapid, precise acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition-based sensing strategy for malathion detection in the presence of Ag-GO and acetylthiocholine (ATCh). The biosensing method was developed with a nanocomposite of citrate stabilized AgNPs anchored on the GO sheets (Ag-GO). The physical and chemical properties of the prepared Ag-GO composite were analyzed with various characterization techniques, including XRD, FT-IR, XPS, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and HR-TEM. The positively charged thiocholine (TCh) produced by enzyme hydrolysis triggers the AgNPs aggregation on GO sheets, which ultimately decreases the intensity of the corresponding SPR absorption peak. While the addition of malathion into the sensing system hindered the AChE activity and limited the TCh production, and thus inhibits the decrease in the SPR band intensity. The designed sensing system displayed linearity in the broad range of malathion concentrations (0.01 pM-1000 pM) with a limit of detection and the limit of quantification values of 0.01 pM, and 0.035 pM, respectively. The application of the designed biosensing system was extended to determine the malathion in actual samples namely, tap water, agricultural runoff water, lake water, and grape extract, which resulted in almost 100% recovery rates in all the spiked samples.Benefit from the additional correction of the output signal in dual-mode detection, traditional dual signal readout strategies are performed by constructing the ratiometric fluorescent probe through excitation energy transfer (EET) or fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). To avoid the complicated modification process and obtain the results rapidly, a simple dual-mode sensing strategy based on the electronic effects of p-nitrophenol (PNP) is described to monitor the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). In the sensing platform, p-nitrophenylphosphate was used as a substrate to produce the PNP using ALP as the catalyst. Due to the PNP possesses negative effect of induction and conjugation, photoinduced electron transfer and hyperchromic effect have been achieved between PNP and polyethyleneimine-protected copper nanoclusters (PEI-Cu NCs), which caused the changes of the fluorescence intensity and UV-visible absorption. The dual-mode signal sensing system showed the satisfactory linear results of ALP from 1 to 100 U/L for fluorescent sensing strategy and 1-70 U/L for the absorption method with a competitive LOD of 0.27 and 0.87 U/L (signal-to-noise ratio of 3). This strategy detected biological ALP in human serum and bio-imaging of endogenous ALP in A549 cells successfully, which verifies a certain potential of the strategy for the practical applications.Indole is a major metabolite of tryptophan, which plays an important role in the intestinal microecological balance and human physiological activities. The determination of indole becomes important for its researches. So, it is urgent to establish a sensitive and cost-effective method for indole detection. Herein, a sensitive electrochemical method was constructed to determine the concentration of indole using screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with the signal amplification strategy by gold/iron-oxide composite nanoparticles (Au/Fe3O4). Au/Fe3O4 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized under the irradiation by high-energy electron beams. 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) was connected to Au/Fe3O4 via Au-S bond. And then NaNO2 reacted with 4-ATP to form the azo bond, which could form the final product of Au/Fe3O4@ATP-azo-indole by the coupling reaction. Thus, the concentration of indole was detected by the electrochemical signal produced by Au/Fe3O4@ATP-azo-indole indirectly. The detection sensitivity was greatly improved by the large specific surface area provided by Au/Fe3O4 after the modification. The linear range of indole was from 0.50 to 120.00 μg L-1 and the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 0.10 μg L-1 (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the developed method exhibited acceptable intra-day and inter-day precisions with the coefficient of variations (CV) less than 4.9% and 8.2%, respectively. And the recoveries were from 97.2% to 105.4%. An innovative, sensitive, cost-effective method was established for indole determination in human plasma matrix in this manuscript, which provides a promising way for indole detection in conventional laboratories.A challenge for shotgun proteomics is the identification of low abundance proteins, which is always hampered owing to the extreme complexity of protein digests and highly dynamic concentration range of proteins. To reduce the complexity of the peptide mixture, we developed a novel method to selectively enrich N-terminal proline peptides via hydrazide chemistry. This method consisted of ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) blocking of primary amines in peptides, reductive glutaraldehydation of N-terminal proline and solid phase hydrazide chemistry enrichment of aldehyde-modified N-terminal proline peptide. After enrichment, the number of detected peptides containing N-terminal proline increased from 1304 to 4039 and the ratio of N-terminal proline peptides jumped from 4.4% to 93.7%, showing good enrichment specificity towards N-terminal proline peptides. Besides, the ratio of identified peptides to proteins was decreased from 7.8 (29751/3811) to 1.5 (4347/2821), indicating that sample complexity was drastically reduced through this method. As a result, this novel approach for enriching N-terminal proline peptides is effective in identification of low abundance protein owing to the reduction of sample complexity.The pre-processing of samples is important factors that affect the results of the RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data. However, the effects of frozen sections storage conditions on the integrity of RNA and sequencing results haven't been reported. The study of frozen section protection schemes can provide reliable experimental results for single-cell and spatial transcriptome sequencing. In this study, RNA was isolated to be studied for RNA from brain section at different temperatures (RT room temperature, -20 °C) and storage time (0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 16 h, 24 h, 7day, 3week, 6month). The stability of reference genes was validated using reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The results showed that the storage at room temperature significantly affected RNA integrity number (RIN), and the RIN value was lower with the prolongation of storage, while the storage at -20 °C exerted less effect on the RIN value. Cresyl violet staining for brain tissue sections had little eftaining can protect RNA.The unambiguous identification of unknown compounds is of utmost importance in the field of metabolomics. However, current identification workflows often suffer from error-sensitive methodologies, which may lead to incorrect structure annotations of small molecules. Therefore, we have developed a comprehensive identification workflow including two highly complementary techniques, i.e. liquid chromatography (LC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and used it to identify five taste-related retention time and m/z features in soy sauce. An off-line directed two-dimensional separation was performed in order to purify the features prior to the identification. Fractions collected during the first dimension separation (reversed phase low pH) were evaluated for the presence of remaining impurities next to the features of interest. Based on the separation between the feature and impurities, the most orthogonal second dimension chromatography (hydrophilic interaction chromatography or reversed phase high pH) was selected for further purification. Unknown compounds down to tens of micromolar concentrations were tentatively annotated by MS and structurally confirmed by MS and NMR. The mass (0.4-4.2 μg) and purity of the isolated compounds were sufficient for the acquisition of one and two-dimensional NMR spectra. The use of a directed two-dimensional chromatography allowed for a fractionation that was tailored to each feature and remaining impurities. This makes the fractionation more widely applicable to different sample matrices than one-dimensional or fixed two-dimensional chromatography. Five proline-based 2,5-diketopiperazines were successfully identified in soy sauce. These cyclic dipeptides might contribute to taste by giving a bitter flavour or indirectly enhancing umami flavour.Ceramide is a huge lipid family consisting of diversified structures in which various modifications are seen in the fatty acyl chain and the long chain base (LCB). In this contribution, a higher collision energy (HCD) linear ion-trap mass spectrometric method (LIT MSn) was applied to study the mechanisms underlying the fragmentation processes of ceramide molecules in 12 subclasses, which were desorbed by ESI as the [M + Li]+ ions. Multiple sets of fragment ions reflecting the fatty acyl chain and LCB were observed in the HCD MS2 spectra for all the ceramide classes, resulting in unambiguous definition of the ceramide structures, including the chain length and the modification (α-hydroxy-, β-hydroxy-, ω-hydroxy-FA) of the fatty acyl moiety, and the types of LCB (sphingosine, phytosphigosine, 6-hydroxy-sphingosine). Thereby, this approach permits differentiation of isomeric structures and ceramide species in the biological specimen can be unveiled in detail. By application of sequential MS3, the double bond position along the fatty acyl chain of the molecule can be located, and a complete structural characterization of ceramides can be achieved.Developing portable membrane sensors to accurately detect the biomolecule ascorbic acid (AA) is extremely important for food safety and human health. Herein, we successfully design and synthesize a novel cationic metal organic framework (Eu-pbmc, Hpbmc = 2-(pyridine-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid) and assemble polyacrylonitrile/Eu-pbmc membrane (PEM) by an in-situ growth strategy. Benefiting from the appreciable loading of Eu-pbmc nanoparticles and high water permeation flux, PEM possesses effective detection for MnO4- with a limit of detection (LOD) of 17 nM. Utilizing the cationic porous framework, we load MnO4- into PEM and construct a "on-off-on" system for effective AA detection. The oxidative MnO4- can be reduced by AA and the resulting turn-on luminescence can reflect the concentration of AA. Compared with pure Eu-pbmc crystals, PEM exhibits improved AA detection performance with LOD of 48 nM and detection time of 1 min via a concise detection operation. The stable membrane sensor realizes an accurate detection in real biological samples, meeting the practical requirement. Moreover, an IMP logic gate is helpful to analyze MnO4- and AA in water. The proposed novel luminescence platform as well as reasonable "on-off-on" luminescence mode provide a promising method for AA detection.There is an increasing interest in determining the concentration of furanic compounds naturally formed in food aqueous matrices, by in situ, fast and low-cost methods. A sensor presenting such characteristics is here proposed, and characterized. It is based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as a receptor with electrochemical transduction on a screen printed cell (SPC). The molecularly imprinted polymer has been developed for a particular furanic derivative, 2-furaldehyde (2-FAL). The detection bases on the reduction of 2-FAL selectively adsorbed on the polymer layer in contact with the working electrode. Honokiol mouse The polymer layer is simply formed by in situ polymerization, directly over the SPC and it was characterized by IR, SEM and electrochemical methods. Even if based on an easy and fast preparation procedure, the layer sufficiently adheres to the cell surface giving a reusable sensor.
