Abstract
Metal ions have been considered as an important factor on fibrils assembly. Herein, a comprehensive analysis of specific ions effect on fibril formation and structural changes was investigated. The addition of ions (except Zn2+) accelerated the aggregation kinetics of rice glutelin fibrils (RGFs) from 0.93 to 1.28-2.19 h-1. In addition, the fibrillization rate followed the order of NH4+ > Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Cu2+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+ > Zn2+. The highest yield and length of fibrils were observed with Ca2+, probably due to the ionic bridging effect and hydrated capacity of Ca2+. However, Cu2+ reduced the fibrils yield, which was attributable to the fact that Cu2+ disrupted β-sheet structure and inhibited the transition of monomer to fibrils. The polymorphism of fibrils was observed with different salts, and the light metals presented a superior effect on fibrils formation than heavy metals. Overall, this work will provide a further information into how to tune the structure of RGFs using various ions.

Well-designed protein amyloid nanofibrils composites as versatile and sustainable materials for aquatic environment remediation: A review. ECO-ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH (ONLINE) 2023; 2:264-277. [PMID: 38435357 PMCID: PMC10902511 DOI: 10.1016/j.eehl.2023.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Amyloid nanofibrils (ANFs) are supramolecular polymers originally classified as pathological markers in various human degenerative diseases. However, in recent years, ANFs have garnered greater interest and are regarded as nature-based sustainable biomaterials in environmental science, material engineering, and nanotechnology. On a laboratory scale, ANFs can be produced from food proteins via protein unfolding, misfolding, and hydrolysis. Furthermore, ANFs have specific structural characteristics such as a high aspect ratio, good rigidity, chemical stability, and a controllable sequence. These properties make them a promising functional material in water decontamination research. As a result, the fabrication and application of ANFs and their composites in water purification have recently gained considerable attention. Despite the large amount of literature in this field, there is a lack of systematic review to assess the gap in using ANFs and their composites to remove contaminants from water. This review discusses significant advancements in design techniques as well as the physicochemical properties of ANFs-based composites. We also emphasize the current progress in using ANFs-based composites to remove inorganic, organic, and biological contaminants. The interaction mechanisms between ANFs-based composites and contaminants are also highlighted. Finally, we illustrate the challenges and opportunities associated with the future preparation and application of ANFs-based composites. We anticipate that this review will shed new light on the future design and use of ANFs-based composites.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:1573. [PMID: 36674334 PMCID: PMC9865348 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20021573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Simultaneously eliminating tetracycline (TC) and copper (Cu-II) from wastewater was investigated by applying a novel adsorbent fabricated by transforming spent bleaching earth (SBE) into attapulgite & carbon composites (A&Cs). Pyrolysis temperature for A&Cs preparation exhibited a positive effect on Cu(II) adsorption, while the AC500 possessed the greatest performance for TC remediation. Interestingly, a synergistic effect instead of competitive adsorption occurred between Cu(II) and TC under the combined binary system, as both TC and Cu(II) adsorption amount on A&C500 increased more than that in the single system, which could be mainly attributed to the bridge actions between the TC and Cu(II). In addition, hydrogen bonding, ᴨ-ᴨ EDA interaction, pore-filling and complexation exerted significant roles in the adsorption process of TC and Cu(II). In general, this study offered a new perspective on the regeneration of livestock and poultry industry wastewater polluted with antibiotics and heavy metals.
