Chain Length Research Articles

The isoprenyl chain length of coenzyme Q mediates the nutritional resistance of fungi to amoeba predation.

Ubiquinones (CoQ) are universal electron carriers in the respiratory chain of all aerobic bacteria and eukaryotes. Usually 8-10 isoprenyl units ensure their localization within the lipid bilayer. Members of the Saccharomyces clade among fungi are unique in using only 6. The reason for this is unclear. Here we provide evidence that the use of CoQ6 efficiently protects these fungi from predation by the ubiquitous fungivorous amoeba Protostelium aurantium which lacks its own biosynthetic pathway for this vitamin. The amoebae were starving on a diet of CoQ6 yeasts which could be complemented by either the addition of longer CoQs or the genetic engineering of a CoQ9 biosynthetic pathway.

Solution Behavior of Glyco-Copoly(l-Glutamic Acid)s in Dilute Saline Solution.

A small series of copoly(α,l-glutamic acid/dl-allylglycine)s with the same chain length and allylglycine content (∼10 mol %) but different spatial distribution of allylglycine units was synthesized and subsequently glycosylated via thiol-ene chemistry. Dilute aqueous copolypeptide solutions (0.1 wt %, physiological saline) were analyzed by circular dichroism spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. The copolypeptides adopted a random coil or α-helix conformation, depending on solution pH, and the glycosylated residues either distorted or enhanced the folding into an α-helix depending on their location and spatial distribution along the chain. However, regardless of their secondary structure and degree of charging, all partially glycosylated copolypeptides self-assembled into 3D spherical structures, supposedly driven by a hydrophilic effect promoting microphase separation into glucose-rich and glutamate-rich domains.

Investigation of the Link between Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Stress Biomarkers in Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus).

Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are keystone and sentinel species in the world's oceans. We studied correlations between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and their stress axis. We investigated associations between plasma biomarkers of 12 different PFAS variants and three cortisol pools (total, bound, and free) in wild T. truncatus from estuarine waters of Charleston, South Carolina (n = 115) and Indian River Lagoon, Florida (n = 178) from 2003 to 2006, 2010-2013, and 2015. All PFAS and total cortisol levels for these dolphins were previously reported; bound cortisol levels and free cortisol calculations have not been previously reported. We tested null hypotheses that levels of each PFAS were not correlated with those of each cortisol pool. Free cortisol levels were lower when PFOS, PFOA, and PFHxS biomarker levels were higher, but free cortisol levels were higher when PFTriA was higher. Bound cortisol levels were higher when there were higher PFDA, PFDoDA, PFDS, PFTeA, and PFUnDA biomarkers. Total cortisol was higher when PFOA was lower, but total cortisol was higher when PFDA, PFDoDA, PFTeA, and PFTriA were higher. Additional analyses indicated sex and age trends, as well as heterogeneity of effects from the covariates carbon chain length and PFAS class. Although this is a cross-sectional observational study and, therefore, could reflect cortisol impacts on PFAS toxicokinetics, these correlations are suggestive that PFAS impacts the stress axis in T. truncatus. However, if PFAS do impact the stress axis of dolphins, it is specific to the chemical structure, and could affect the individual pools of cortisol differently. It is critical to conduct long-term studies on these dolphins and to compare them to populations that have no or little expose to PFAS.

Bulk Photovoltaic Effect Induced by Non-Covalent Interactions in Bilayered Hybrid Perovskite for Efficient Passive X-Ray Detection.

Hydrogen bonding as a multifunctional tool has always influenced the structure of hybrid perovskites. Compared with the research on hydrogen bonding, the study of halogen-halogen interactions on the structure and properties of hybrid perovskites is still in its early stages. Herein, a polar bilayered hybrid perovskite (IEA)2FAPb2I7 (IEA+ is 2-iodoethyl-1-ammonium, FA is formamidinium) with iodine-substituted spacer is successfully constructed by changing the configuration of interlayer cations and regulating non-covalent interactions at the organic-inorganic interface, which shows a shorter interlayer spacing and higher density (ρ = 3.862gcm-3). The generation of structure polarity in (IEA)2FAPb2I7 is caused by the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding and halogen-halogen interactions. Especially, as the length of the carbon chain in organic cations decreases, the I---I interaction in the system gradually strengthens, which may be the main reason for the symmetry-breaking. Polarity-induced bulk photovoltaics (Voc = 1.0V) and higher density endow the device based on (I-EA)2FAPb2I7 exhibit a high sensitivity of 175.6µCGy-1cm-2 and an ultralow detection limit of 60.4nGys-1 at 0V bias under X-ray irradiation. The results present a facile approach for designing polar multifunctional hybrid perovskites, also providing useful assistance for future research on halogen-halogen interactions.

"Dissolve-on-Demand" 3D Printed Materials: Polymerizable Eutectics for Generating High Modulus, Thermoresponsive and Photoswitchable Eutectogels.

Solvent-free photopolymerization of vinyl monomers to produce high modulus materials with applications in 3D printing and photoswitchable materials is demonstrated. Polymerizable eutectic (PE) mixtures are prepared by simply heating and stirring various molar ratios of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), acrylamide (AAm) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The structural and thermal properties of the resulting mixtures are evaluated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy as well as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). UV photocuring kinetics of the PE mixtures are evaluated via in situ photo-DSC and photorheology measurements. The PE mixtures cure rapidly and display storage moduli that are orders of magnitude greater than equivalent copolymers cured in an aqueous medium. The versatility of these PE systems is demonstrated through the addition of a photoswitchable spiropyran acrylate monomer, as well as applying the PE formulation as a stereolithography (SLA)-based 3D printing resin. Due to the hydrogen-bonding network in PE systems, 3D printing of the eutectic resin is possible in the absence of crosslinkers. The addition of a RAFT agent to reduce average polymer chain length enables 3D printing of materials which retain their shape and can be dissolved on demand in appropriate solvents.

A Study on Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH) Contamination in Pig Diets and Its Transfer to Back Fat and Loin Tissues

This study assessed saturated mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOSH) and aromatic mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOAH) levels in grower–finisher feeds for pigs supplemented with 5% crude palm oil (CP), crude olive pomace oil (COP), olive pomace acid oil (OPA), or a blend of CP and OPA (50:50, w/w); the contribution of the lipid source to that contamination; and the ability of pigs to accumulate MOH in back fat and loin tissues after 60 days of trial. MOSH and MOAH were analyzed with liquid chromatography (LC)–gas chromatography (GC)–flame ionization detection (FID) after sample preparation. Among the lipid sources, CP had the lowest MOH levels, but CP feeds showed the highest contamination. This, along with the different MOSH profiles, indicated the presence of more significant contamination sources in the feeds than the lipid source. The higher MOH contamination in CP feeds was reflected in the highest MOSH levels in pig back fat, whereas MOAH were not detected in animal tissues. Also, MOSH bioaccumulation in pig tissues was influenced by the carbon chain length. In conclusion, feed manufacturing processes can determine the MOSH contamination present in animal adipose tissues that can be included in human diets.

Structural Characteristic, Strong Antioxidant, and Anti-Gastric Cancer Investigations on an Oleoresin from Ginger (Zingiber officinale var. roscoe)

It is known that ginger oleoresin contains various active components and possesses bioactivities. In this study, ginger oleoresin from Chinese ginger (Zingiber officinale var. roscoe) was extracted using a CO2 supercritical fluid extraction method with a 0.52% yield (g/g), based on dry weights. Zingiberene with a content of 51.6 mg/g was the main volatile in the ginger oleoresin. In total, 17 phenolic compounds were identified, and their contents were calculated as 587.54 mg/g. Among them, a new gingertriol was detected in the Z. officinale. Antioxidant activity tests showed that the ginger oleoresin and six gingerols exhibited strong scavenging free radical activities, and the zingerone exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity, with IC50 values of 11.3 µg/mL for the 2, 2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical and 19.0 µg/mL for the 2, 2′-amino-di (2-ethyl-benzothiazoline sulphonic acid-6) ammonium salt radical cation, comparable to vitamin C. Ginger oleoresin inhibits HGC-27 human gastric cancer cell proliferation at a rate of 4.05~41.69% and induces cell apoptosis at a rate of 10.4~20.9%. The Western blot result demonstrated that the AKT signaling pathway has the potential mechanism of ginger oleoresin acting on HGC-27 cells. The anticancer potential of the gingerol standards on HGC-27 cells followed the order of 8-gingerol > 6-gingerol > 10-gingerol > zingerone. The different antioxidant and anticancer potentials of the ginger phenolic compounds could be attributed to the presence of hydroxyl groups in the unbranched 1-alkyl chain and the length of carbon side chain. Consequently, ginger oleoresin shows substantial antioxidant and anticancer therapeutic potential and can be used for novel food–drug development.

Effect of Dicarboxylic Acid Chain Length on the Tribological Properties of Aqueous Polyether Esters

ABSTRACTThis article presents the preparation of environmentally friendly water‐soluble lubricant additives. Adipic acid (AA), sebacic acid (SA) and dodecanedioic acid (DA) were individually subjected to esterification reactions with polyethylene glycol 1500 (PEG1500) to prepare a class of water‐soluble polyether esters (AAPEE1500, SAPEE1500 and DAPEE1500) (referred to as XAPEE1500s) that exhibit excellent water solubility and do not contain environmentally harmful elements. First, the molecular structure characterisation and functional group analysis of these additives will be conducted using an infrared spectrometer and a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. Subsequently, the frictional properties of the additives in the base liquid (deionised water) will be investigated using an SRV‐V tribometer, Falex pin‐on‐disc tribometer and screw torque tester. The surface morphology of wear scars will be characterised and analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a non‐contact 3D profilometer. Finally, the lubrication mechanism of the DAPEE1500 additive will be analysed using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicate that the optimal lubrication performance is achieved when the added mass fraction of DAPEE1500 is at 3%. Compared with 0.5 wt% DAPEE1500, the average friction coefficient of 3 wt% DAPEE1500 decreased from 0.285 to 0.122, and the wear volume decreased from 25.52 × 10−5 μm3 to 10.96 × 10−5 μm3. The lubrication mechanism of polyether ester is the result of the combined action of its polar ester functional groups and long carboxylic acid chains in the structure. These polar functional groups can form a relatively firm adsorption film on the friction surface, while the long carboxylic acid chains act as a brush‐like isolating layer, thus demonstrating superior anti‐wear and anti‐friction performance.

Coumarin Schiff base derivatives with alkyl 4’-formyl-biphenyl-4-carboxylate: design, synthesis, mesomorphic studies and DFT calculations

ABSTRACT Symmetric and unsymmetric homologous series of coumarin Schiff base derivatives with alkyl 4’-formyl-biphenyl-4-carboxylate have been synthesised and studied for their mesomorphic behaviour. In the symmetric homologous series of Schiff base derivatives BPES(6–16), alkoxy chain length was varied at both ends of the molecules with n = 6,8,10,12,14,16, while in the unsymmetric homologous series of Schiff base derivatives 10BPEU(2–12), chain length was varied at coumarin end only (n = 2–8,10,12). In symmetric homologous series, compounds BPES(6–10) (n = 6,8,10) exhibited enantiotropic smectic A (SmA) mesophase, while smectic C (SmC) mesophase in cooling cycle only. SmC mesophase became prominent on increasing the chain length n = 12,14,16 in BPES(12–16). In the unsymmetric homologous series 10BPEU(2–12), compound with n = 2 showed monotropic nematic mesophase and highly stable (~165 °C) SmA mesophase. Higher analogues in unsymmetric series were turned biphasic and showed SmA as well as SmC mesophase during cooling scan only. Compound with n = 12 showed stable enantiotropic SmC mesophase (~92 °C). VT-XRD analysis of symmetric compound with n = 12, showed the tilted SmC mesophase. Further DFT calculations were investigated for un/symmetric series along with the literature molecules with similar variations and compared for various structural (length, aspect ratio) and electronic (dipole moment, polarisability) parameters to establish correlation with observed mesomorphic behaviour.

Alkyl chain length affecting the structure and interactions of choline-based amino acid ionic liquids: Insights from a computational study

The influences of the alkyl chain length of amino acid anions on the structure and interactions of choline-based amino acid ([Cho][AA]) ionic liquids were investigated based on density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The most stable configuration of the individual [Cho][AA] ion pair was determined, revealing negligible variations in the binding energy between choline cation ([Cho]+) and different amino acid anions ([AA]−). To further characterize the intermolecular interactions between charged entities, the atoms in molecules theory (AIM) and independent gradient model based on Hirshfeld partition (IGMH) were employed, which highlight the presence of robust hydrogen bonds between [Cho]+ and [AA] −, underscoring their significance in shaping the structure of [Cho][AA] ion pairs. The MD studies exhibited the aggregation of anions in [Cho][AA] ILs, which was attributed to side chain interactions of anions. This aggregation effect becomes more pronounced with the elongation of anionic alkyl chain. Simultaneously, radial distribution functions (RDF) analysis revealed a higher probability of hydrogen bonds occurring between [Cho]+ and [AA]− as the alkyl chain in [AA]− lengthened. Additionally, the hydrogen bond lifetimes roughly display an increasing trend as the alkyl chain of the [AA]− increases, which may be due to the reduced diffusion coefficients of ions. Hopefully, our results would contribute fundamental knowledge regarding the impact of alkyl chain length of anions on the structure and interactions in the choline-based amino acid ionic liquids.

Effect of polymer concentration and cross-linking density on the microstructure and properties of polyimide aerogels

AbstractPolyimide aerogels display excellent mechanical strength, high thermal stability, low thermal conductivity, and outstanding dielectric properties. Typically, the synthesis of polyimide aerogels involves the polycondensation of dianhydride and diamine into poly(amic acid) (PAA) oligomers, which are then cross-linked and chemically imidized into polyimide. The stoichiometry of dianhydride and diamine determines the number of repeat units and length of the PAA oligomers, which in turn determines the cross-linking density. Despite the critical role of polymer concentration and number of repeating units in determining the microstructure and properties of polyimide aerogels, few detailed studies exist on these two parameters. Here, we synthesized and characterized 16 polyimide aerogel formulations from the common monomers biphenyl-3,3′,4,4′-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA), with different repeat units (n = 5, 15, 30, 45) and total polymer concentrations (4, 7, 10, 13 wt%). An increased polymer concentration accelerated gelation and enhanced the mechanical performance of aerogels, but surprisingly, it also led to higher volumetric shrinkage during aging, solvent exchange, and supercritical drying (SCD). Specific surface areas (SSAs) reached a maximum at intermediate polymer concentrations. A shorter oligomer chain length, i.e., a higher cross-linking density, led to moderately higher SSAs (between 320 and 400 m2/g) and reduced shrinkage, resulting in lower densities for a given polymer concentration. The density dependence of the thermal conductivity exhibits a pronounced U-shaped curve with a minimum in thermal conductivity of 21–23 mW/(m·K) between 0.080 and 0.120 g/cm3, with somewhat lower values for more highly cross-linked aerogels. This systematic study of polyimide aerogels forms the basis for designing polyimide aerogels with tailored properties for targeted applications. Graphical Abstract

Liquid Crystal Dimers and the Twist-Bend Phases: Non-Symmetric Dimers Consisting of Mesogenic Units of Differing Lengths.

The syntheses and characterisation of the 4-[{[4-({n-[4-(4-cyanophenyl)phenyl]-n-yl}oxy)phenyl]-methylidene}amino]phenyl-4-alkoxybenzoates (CBnOIBeOm) are reported with n=8 and 10 and m=1-10. The two series display fascinating liquid crystal polymorphism. All twenty reported homologues display an enantiotropic nematic (N) phase at high temperature. When the length of the spacer (n) is greater than that of the terminal chain (m), the twist-bend nematic (NTB) phase is observed at temperatures below the N phase. As the length of the terminal chain is increased and extends beyond the length of the spacer up to three smectic phases are observed on cooling the N phase. One of these smectic phases has been assigned as the rare twist-bend smectic C subphase, the SmCTB-α phase. In all the smectic phases, a monolayer packing arrangement is seen, and this is attributed to the anti-parallel associations of the like mesogenic units.

Synthesis, Activity, Toxicity, and In Silico Studies of New Antimycobacterial N-Alkyl Nitrobenzamides

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that plagues the frailest members of society. We have developed a family of N-alkyl nitrobenzamides that exhibit promising antitubercular activities and can be considered a structural simplification of known inhibitors of decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribofuranose 2′-oxidase (DprE1), an essential Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) enzyme and an emergent antitubercular target. Hereby, we report the development of these compounds via a simple synthetic methodology as well as their stability, cytotoxicity, and antitubercular activity. Studying their in vitro activity revealed that the 3,5-dinitro and the 3-nitro-5-trifluoromethyl derivatives were the most active, and within these, the derivatives with intermediate lipophilicities presented the best activities (MIC of 16 ng/mL). Additionally, in an ex vivo macrophage model of infection, the derivatives with chain lengths of six and twelve carbon atoms presented the best results, exhibiting activity profiles comparable to isoniazid. Although the proof is not definite, the assessment of susceptibility over multiple mycobacterial species, together with the structure similarities with known inhibitors of this enzyme, support DprE1 as a likely target of action for the compounds. This idea is also reinforced by the docking studies, where the fit of our more active compounds to the DprE1 binding pocket is very similar to what was observed for known inhibitors like DNB1.

Rational Design of 3D Polymer Corona Interfaces of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Receptor-Free Virus Recognition.

Facing the escalating threat of viruses worldwide, the development of efficient sensor elements for rapid virus detection has never been more critical. Traditional point-of-care (POC) sensors struggle due to their reliance on fragile biological receptors and limited adaptability to viral strains. In this study, we introduce a nanosensor design for receptor-free virus recognitions using near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-phospholipid (PEG-lipid) array. Three-dimensional (3D) corona interfaces of the nanosensor array enable selective and sensitive detection of diverse viruses, including Ebola, Lassa, H3N2, H1N1, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1), and SARS-CoV-2, even without any biological receptors. The PEG-lipid components, designed considering chain length, fatty acid saturation, molecular weight, and end-group moieties, allow for precise quantification of viral recognition abilities. High-throughput automated screening of the array demonstrates how the physicochemical properties of the PEG-lipid/SWCNT 3D corona interfaces correlate with viral detection efficiency. Utilizing molecular dynamics and AutoDock simulations, we investigated the impact of PEG-lipid components on 3D corona interface formation, such as surface coverage and hydrodynamic radius and specific molecular interactions based on chemical potentials. Our findings not only enhance detection specificity across various antigens but also accelerate the development of sensor materials for promptly identifying and responding to emerging antigen threats.

Inflection Point in Pressure Dependence of Ionic Conductivity as a Fingerprint of Local Structure Formation.

In this study, we employed dielectric spectroscopy to investigate the effect of temperature and pressure on the ion dynamics of phosphonium ionic liquids (ILs) differing by the length of an alkyl chain, [P666,n][TFSI] (n = 2, 6, 8, 12). We found that both temperature and pressure dependence of dc-conductivity (σdc) determined for all examined ILs herein exhibit unique characteristics, unusual for aprotic ILs. Two regions differing by ion self-organization have been identified from the derivative analysis of σdc(T-1) data. On the other hand, isothermal measurements performed at elevated pressure revealed a unique concave-convex character of σdc(P) dependences, resulting in a clear minimum in the pressure behavior of activation volume. Such an inflection point characterizing the pressure dependence of σdc in [P666,n][TFSI] ILs can be considered an inherent feature of ion dynamics governed by structural self-assembly. Our results offer a unique perspective to link the ion mobility at various T-P conditions to the nanostructural organization of ionic systems.

Exploiting the biological activities of a lipopeptide extract produced by Bacillus subtilis UFPEDA 438 in light of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Lipopeptides are biosurfactants, substances with a high surfactant potential where each family corresponds to a group of isoforms that differs in the peptide's composition and the length of the lipid chain. Among them, iturin and surfactin, lipopeptides with high surfactant and antibiotic potential, stand out. As a lipopeptide, they are a set of isoforms, biosynthesized or engineered, where the relationship between their structures and properties helps choose and direct the product to the final application. Those applications can range from the surface cleaning and disinfection industry to crude oil recovery, in addition to being the subject of studies in medical and pharmacological processes. In the context of COVID-19, the present study aims to produce an extract of lipopeptides rich in surfactin and iturin's isoforms through the cultivation of Bacillus subtilis UFPEDA 438, using sugarcane molasses as a substrate, as well as to evaluate their biological activity in vitro, including their antiviral potential through in silico analysis, against the 4 main target proteins of SARS-CoV 2. The results showed maximum productivity of 148.55 ± 4.67 mg/L of surfactin with satisfactory levels of emulsification activities, a reduction in the surface tension of water by up to 55.24%, and strong antioxidant activities. Regarding the in silico evaluation, the greatest interaction of the studied biosurfactants was with the Spyke protein, which is crucial for the binding of the virus with the host human cell. The achieved results point to the extract produced as a promising constituent in the elaboration of products with high antioxidant and surfactant potential; and, in addition, moves future trials of his antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2.

In situ cell-scale probing nucleation, growth and evolution of CsPbBr3 nanowires by optical absorption spectroscopy

The growth kinetics of colloidal lead halide perovskite nanomaterials are an integral part of their applications, remains poorly understood due to complex nucleation processes and lack of in situ size monitoring method. Here we demonstrated that absorption spectra can be used to observe in situ growth processes of ultrathin CsPbBr3 nanowires in solution with reference to the effective mass infinite deep square potential well model. By means of this method, we have found that the ultrathin nanowires, fabricated by hot injection method, were firstly formed within one minute. Subsequently, they merge with each other into a thicker structure with increasing reaction time. We revealed that the nucleation, growth, and merging of the CsPbBr3 nanowires are determined by the acid concentration and ligand chain length. At lower acidity, the critical nucleation size of the nanowire is smaller, while the shorter the ligand chain length, the faster the merging among the nanowires. Moreover, the merging mode between nanowires changed with their nucleation size. This growth kinetics of CsPbBr3 nanowires provides a reference for optimizing the synthesis conditions to obtain the one-dimensional CsPbBr3 with desired size, thus enabling accurate control of the nanowire shape.

Regulating the Chiroptical Expression of Aggregated Solvophobic Core by Solvophilic Segments.

The investigation of chiral supramolecular stacking is of essential significance for the understanding of the origin of homochirality in nature. Unlike structurally well-defined amphiphilic liposomes, it remains unclear whether the solvophilic segments of the amphiphilic block copolymer play a decisive role in the construction of asymmetric superstructures. Herein, insights are presented into the stacking patterns and morphological regulation in azobenzene-containing block copolymer assemblies solely by modulating the solvophilic chain length. The solvophilic poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) segments of different molecular weights could cause multi-mode chirality inversions involving stacking transitions between intra-chain π-π stacking, inter-chain H- and J-aggregation. Furthermore, the length of the solvophilic PMAA also affects the morphology of the chiral supramolecular assemblies; rice grain-like micelles, worms, nanofibers, floccules, and lamellae can be prepared at different solvophilic-solvophobic balance. The comprehensive mechanism is collectively revealed by utilizing various measurement methods, such as including circular dichroism (CD), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). This study highlights the critical importance of fully dissolved solvophilic segments for the chiroptical regulation of the aggregated core, providing new insights into the arrangement of chiral supramolecular structures in polymer systems.
