Abstract:Chirality-induced metallic and metal-oxide nanoparticles (NPs) hold promising potentials in chiroptical, asymmetric catalysis, chiral discrimination, and drug delivery. Here, we report a simple but scalable method for the preparation of...
“…Manufacturing vascular grafts of clinically relevant dimensions remains a key biofabrication challenge in the biomedical field, as it demands small diameters and relatively larger lengths. 39 Electrospun bilayers, 40 molded polymer tubes, 41 and 4D printed hydrogels [42][43][44][45] present significant limitations as vascular grafts due to incomplete and unstable shape deformation, complex chemical reactions and short-term patency, and poor mechanical strength, respectively. These limitations are further accentuated if the tubes need to be pre-seeded with cells prior to implantation, as none of the conventional processing techniques can realize cell-laden tubes with high shape fidelity and stability.…”

Composite enantioselective voltammetry sensors provide a well‐known solution for the analysis and discrimination of enantiomerical drugs by voltammetry. The design of such sensor presumes the use of chiral substances to impart chirality to the electrode surface. We present the results of applying a theoretical approach based on simulating the adsorption of analyte enantiomers for preparing high enantioselectivity of pioneering enantioselective sensors using homochiral zeolites as chiral modifiers.We investigated the ability of some homochiral zeolites like CZP, ITV, OSO, STW, MFI, and SOF to act as solid chiral modifiers. Using tryptophan and tyrosine as model objects, we found that the maximum difference between the adsorption energies (ΔEads) of enantiomers on zeolites occurs if enantiomers are placed into the pores of zeolites. The SOF zeolite demonstrates the best enantioselectivity to both amino acids. Moreover, we compared the theoretical results with the experimental enantioselectivity value for tryptophan on a sensor designed as a paste electrode with MFI as the chiral modifier. We found that the calculated value ΔEads(R‐S) = −11.0 kJ/mol for MFI, though it is not the best value in the zeolite set considered, it is still enough for the sensor with MFI as the chiral modifier to demonstrate a higher than usual enantioselectivity (ip1/ip2 = 1.58) in an experiment with R‐ and S‐ tryptophan as the analyte.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
