Abstract
Introduction A number of biological wastes and factory waste materials have been tested recently for the eco-friendly biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Sericin protein (SSP) is usually removed from the silk cocoon during the degumming process in the process of making the silk, and this sericin protein is normally thrown away by the sericulture industries as waste materials. It is found that this sericin protein possesses a number of biological properties. Methods Considering this, in the present study, an effort has been made to biosynthesize gold nanoparticles (SSP-AuNPs) using the waste sericin solution as the reducing and capping agent and investigate its biopotential in terms of its wound healing, antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Results The synthesis of SSP-AuNPs was perceived by the visual color change and confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy with absorption maxima at 522 nm. Further characterization of SSP-AuNPs was done by TEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, DLS, zeta potential, TGA, AFM, etc. The size of SSP-AuNPs was found out to be 54.82 nm as per the particle size analyzer and the zeta potential is -19.8 mV. The SSP-AuNPs displayed promising wound healing potential of 70.96 and 69.76% wound closure rate at 5 and 10 µg/mL respectively as compared to 74.91% by the Centella asiatica taken as a positive control. It also exhibited promising antioxidant potential in terms of the DPPH, ABTS free radical scavenging, reducing power potential, and total antioxidant capacity. Besides, the SSP-AuNPs also displayed significant antibacterial activities against the tested pathogenic bacterial with the diameter of inhibition zones ranging between 12.10 and 14.96 mm as compared to the positive control cephalexin that displayed inhibition zones ranging between 12.08 and 13.24 mm. Discussion Taken together, SSP-AuNPs could serve as an interesting candidate for food, cosmetics, and biomedical fields in the applications of wound healing, cosmetics, antibacterial bandages, and ointments, etc.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) is widely applied in mapping macrobiomolecules in tissues, but it is still limited in profiling low-molecular-weight (MW) compounds (typically metabolites) due to ion interference and suppression by organic matrices. Here, we present a versatile "top-down" strategy for rational engineering of carbon material-based matrices, by which heteroatom-doped graphene quantum dots (HGQDs) were manufactured for LDI MS detection and imaging of small biomolecules. The HGQDs derived from parent materials inherited the π-conjugated networks and doping sites for promoting energy transfer and negative ion generation, while their extremely small size guaranteed the matrix uniformity and signal reproducibility in LDI MSI. Compared to other HGQDs, nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) exhibited superior capability of assisting LDI of various small molecules, including amino acids, fatty acids, saccharides, small peptides, nucleobases, anticancer drugs, and bisphenol pollutants. Density functional theory simulations also corroborated that the LDI efficiency was markedly raised by the proton-capturing pyridinic nitrogen species and compromised by the electron-deficient boron dopants. NGQDs-assisted LDI MS further enabled label-free investigation on enzyme kinetics using an ordinary short peptide as the substrate. Moreover, due to the high salt tolerance and signal reproducibility, the proposed negative-ion NGQDs-assisted LDI MSI was able to reveal the abundance and distribution of low-MW species in rat brain tissue and achieved the imaging of low-MW lipids in coronally sectioned rat brains subjected to traumatic brain injury. Our work offers a new route for customizing nanomaterial matrices toward LDI MSI of small biomolecules in biomedical and pathological research.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely used as laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) nanomaterials for the analysis of low-molecular-weight samples. Nickel/iron-layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDHs) nanosheets can support the anchoring of AuNPs and enhance the ability of desorption/ionization. Their hybrid nanocomposites are expected to produce synergistic effects to improve the performance of LDI-MS. In this work, a novel AuNPs/NiFe-LDHs nanomaterial was synthesized by self-assembly method and characterized based on TEM, SEM, XPS, UV-vis and FTIR-ATR. AuNPs/NiFe-LDHs assisted LDI-TOF MS exhibited higher peak intensity and lower background noise compared with conventional organic matrices. Furthermore, excellent salt and protein tolerance, good repeatability and quantification were observed when MNZ and its metabolites were detected in the range of 1-50 ng·μL-1 (R2 > 0.98), with LODs and LOQs of 0.5 ng·μL-1 and 1 ng·μL-1, respectively. This nanocomposite could also be used for the analysis of some other small molecules, such as antibiotics, sugars, amino acids and pesticides, demonstrating the potential to detect a variety of environmental chemicals. Taken together, the developed method combined the advantages of two nanomaterials and can provide rapid and accurate analysis of MNZ and its metabolites in water samples, as well as some other small molecules.

Abstract
AbstractAn optimal combi-matrix for MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry was presented for the analysis of L-thyroxine (T4) in human serum. For the selection of the optimal combi-matrix, several kinds of combi-matrices were prepared by mixing the conventional organic matrix of CHCA with nanomaterials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles of Pt and TiO2. In order to select the optimal combi-matrix, the absorption at the wavelength of laser radiation (337 nm) for the ionization of sample was estimated using UV–Vis spectrometry. And, the heat absorption properties of these combi-matrices were also analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), such as onset temperature and fusion enthalpy. In the case of the combi-matrix of CHCA and graphene, the onset temperature and fusion enthalpy were observed to be lower than those of CHCA, which represented the enhanced transfer of heat to the analyte in comparison with CHCA. From the analysis of optical and thermal properties, the combi-matrix of CHCA and graphene was selected to be an optimal combination for the transfer of laser energy during MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The feasibility of the combi-matrix composed of CHCA and graphene was demonstrated for the analysis of T4 molecules using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The combi-matrix of CHCA and graphene was estimated to have an improved limit of detection and a wider detection range in comparison with other kinds of combi-matrices. Finally, the MALDI-TOF MS results of T4 analysis using combi-matrix were statistically compared with those of the conventional immunoassay.

Abstract
Small molecules play critical roles in life science, yet their facile detection and imaging in physiological or pathological settings remain a challenge. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) is a powerful tool for molecular analysis. However, conventional organic matrices (CHCA, DHB, etc.) used in assisting analyte ionization suffer from intensive background noise in the mass region below m/z 700, which hinders MALDI MS applications for small-molecule detection. Here, we report that a hydroxyl-group-dominated graphite dot (GD) matrix overcomes limitations of conventional matrices and allows MALDI MS to be used in fast and high-throughput analysis of small biomolecules. GDs exhibit extremely low background noise and ultrahigh sensitivity (with limit of detection <1 fmol) in MALDI MS. This approach allows identification of complex oligosaccharides, detection of low-molecular-weight components in traditional Chinese herbs, and facile analysis of puerarin and its metabolites in serum without purification. Moreover, we show that the GDs provide an effective matrix for the direct imaging or spatiotemporal mapping of small molecules and their metabolites (m/z < 700) simultaneously at the suborgan tissue level. Density functional theory calculations further provide the mechanistic basis of GDs as an effective MALDI matrix in both the positive-ion and negative-ion modes. Collectively, our work uncovered a useful matrix which reshapes MALDI MS technology for a wide range of applications in biology and medicine.

Abstract
Although many different nanomaterials have been tested as substrates for laser desorption and ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS), this emerging field still requires more efficient multifuncional nanomaterials for targeting, enrichment, and detection. Here, we report the use of gold manganese oxide (Au@MnO) hybrid nanoflowers as an efficient matrix for LDI-MS. The nanoflowers were also functionalized with two different aptamers to target cancer cells and capture adenosine triphosphate (ATP). These nanoflowers were successfully used for metabolite extraction from cancer cell lysates. Thus, in one system, our multifunctional nanoflowers can (1) act as an ionization substrate for mass spectrometry, (2) target cancer cells, and (3) detect and analyze metabolites from cancer cells.

Abstract
In this work, graphene (G) and graphene oxide (GO) were utilized to enrich and ionize long-chain fatty acids. All together five long-chain fatty acids were selected as models here, n-dodecanoic acid (C12), n-tetradecanoic acid (C14), n-hexadecanoic acid (C16), n-octadecanoic acid (C18), and n-eicosanoic acid (C20). Due to the large surface area and strong interaction force of G or GO, all the five long-chain fatty models were effectively enriched by G or GO. On the other hand, the excellent electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties enable G and GO to be prefect energy receptacles for laser radiation, which make the ionization steps more effective. Eventually, the promoted G and GO methodology can sensitively detect the five long-chain fatty acid models from real biological samples even at low concentrations. Meanwhile, by adopting our promoted methodology, the detection of long-chain fatty acids by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was demonstrated to be simple, sensitive, fast, cost effective and high throughput, which is meaningful as to practical usage.

Abstract
In this work, graphene or graphene oxide was utilized, for the first time, to identify small molecular components from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs, by acting as matrix of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Due to the large surface area of graphene or graphene oxide, the analytes were trapped tightly to the matrix, which avoids the contamination of the ion source and vacuum system. Besides, their excellent electronic, thermal and mechanical properties make them desired matrices for MALDI-TOF-MS. Stable analysis was achieved with no background inference even at the concentration of 100 nM. Moreover, the limit of detection (LOD) could be greatly lowered by utilizing graphene or graphene oxide as a pre-enrichment adsorbent. In summary, the promoted MALDI-TOF-MS methodology was demonstrated to be simple, sensitive, fast, cost effective and, most importantly, high throughput.
