Abstract
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are ubiquitous in the environment and even accumulate in the human body associated with their excellent stability and persistence. However, the effect and reaction mechanism at the molecular level on the cell phospholipid peroxidation remained unclear. In this work, the interfacial reaction of model phospholipids (POPG) intervened by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) at the air-water interface of a hanged droplet exposed to ozone (O3) was investigated. Perfluorinated carboxylates and sulfonates were evaluated. Four-carbon PFASs promoted interfacial ozonolysis, but PFASs with longer carbon skeletons impeded this chemistry. A model concerning POPG packing was proposed and it was concluded that the interfacial chemistry was mediated by chain length rather than their functional groups. Four-carbon PFASs could couple into POPG ozonolysis by mainly reacting with aldehyde products along with minor Criegee intermediates, but this was not observed for longer PFASs. This is different from that condensed-phase Criegee intermediates preferred to reacting with per-fluoroalkyl carboxylic acids. These results provide insight into the adverse health of PFASs on cell peroxidation.

Abstract
Unsaturated lipids with C=C groups in their alkyl chains are widely present in the cell membrane and food. The C=C groups alter the lipid packing density, membrane stability, and persistence against lipid oxidation. Yet, molecular-level insights into the structure of the unsaturated lipids remain scarce. Here, we probe the molecular structure and organization of monolayers of unsaturated lipids on the water surface using heterodyne-detected sum-frequency generation (HD-SFG) spectroscopy. We vary the location of the C=C in the alkyl chain and find that at high lipid density, the location of the C=C group affects neither the interfacial water organization nor the tail of the alkyl chain. Based on this observation, we use the C=C stretch HD-SFG response to depth-profile the alkyl chain conformation of the unsaturated lipid. We find that the first 1/3 of carbon atoms from the headgroup are relatively rigid, oriented perpendicular to the surface. In contrast, the remaining carbon atoms can be approximated as free rotators, introducing the disordering of the alkyl chains.

Abstract
Cigarette nicotiana alkaloids associated with lung and cardiovascular diseases attack enormous attention. However, the mechanism at the molecular level between nicotiana alkaloids and phospholipid ozonolysis remains elusive. Herein, we investigated the interfacial ozonolysis of a hung droplet containing 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG) intervened by nicotiana alkaloids (4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, NNK; rac-N'-nitrosonornicotine, NNN; nicotine; and (R,S)-N-nitrosoanasabine, NAT) and followed by on-line mass spectrometry analysis. NNK and NNN showed an acceleration on the interfacial ozonolysis, while nicotine and NAT inhibited this chemistry. Such acceleration/inhibition on POPG ozonolysis was positively correlated with nicotiana alkaloid concentrations. The reaction rate constants suggested that the ozonolysis of lung phospholipids exposed to cigarette smoke at the air-water interface occurred rapidly. A possible mechanism of the hydrophilic/oleophilic nature of nicotiana alkaloids mediating the packing density of POPG was proposed. NNK and NNN with a hydrophilic nature inserted into the POPG monolayer loosed the packing, but nicotine and NAT with an oleophilic nature let the POPG closely pack and shield the CC double bonds exposed to ozone (O3). These results gain the knowledge of nicotiana alkaloids mediated phospholipid ozonolysis at the molecule level and provide a method for online interfacial reaction studies associated with elevated indoor pollutants on public health.

Abstract
In aprotic lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries, solvent properties are crucial in the charge/discharge processes. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the solvent stability at the cathode surface during the oxygen reduction/evolution reactions (ORR/OER) is essential for the rational design of high-performance electrolytes. In this study, the stability of typical solvents, a series of glyme solvents with different chain lengths, has been investigated during the ORR/OER by in situ vibrational spectroscopy measurements of sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS). The structural evolution and decomposition mechanism of the solvents during ORR/OER have been discussed based on the observations. Our results demonstrate that superoxide (O2-) generated during the ORR plays a critical role in the stability of the solvents.

Abstract
Biomembrane hydration is crucial for understanding processes at biological interfaces. While the effect of the lipid headgroup has been studied extensively, the effect (if any) of the acyl chain chemical structure on lipid-bound interfacial water has remained elusive. We study model membranes composed of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids, the most abundant lipids in biomembranes. We explore the extent to which the lipid headgroup packing and associated water organization are affected by the lipid acyl tail unsaturation and chain length. To this end, we employ a combination of surface-sensitive techniques, including sum-frequency generation spectroscopy, surface pressure measurements, and Brewster angle microscopy imaging. Our results reveal that the acyl tail structure critically affects the headgroup phosphate orientational distribution and lipid-associated water molecules, for both PE and PC lipid monolayers at the air/water interface. These insights reveal the importance of acyl chain chemistry in determining not only membrane fluidity but also membrane hydration.

Abstract
Ozone is a potent environmental oxidant with high chemical reactivity and is present in the ambient environment at a low level of a few tens of ppb. However, only limited information is known about low-level ozone's influence on the respiratory system. In the present study, we systematically investigated the degradation of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), which is one of the major components of the pulmonary surfactant (PS), enabling breath function of the lung exposed to low ambient-level ozone (40 ± 10 ppb). Using the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technique combined with the Langmuir-Blodgett approach, we first tracked the degradation process of POPC molecules by determining the degradation products during exposure to the ambient environment. As a result, we found that the POPC molecules can be readily degraded from the C═C moiety in 45 min, yielding an aldehyde-type product of 1-palmitoyl-2-(9'-oxo-nonanoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POnPC) and a trace amount of an acid-type one of 1-palmitoyl-2-azelaoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAzPC), as well as a pair of secondary ozonide (SOZ) isomers. Furthermore, with prolonged exposure, the SOZ stayed constant but the yield of PAzPC significantly increased with the decrease in POnPC. The low-level ozone-induced oxidation mechanisms for unsaturated lipids are discussed based on the quantitative analyses of these experimental observations. The present results demonstrate that the ground-level ozone is strong enough to induce dramatic oxidation damage to the unsaturated lipids of the PS. These oxidized species may trigger the lung's inflammatory response and be used as biomarkers for oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Lattice self-assemblies (LSAs), which mimic protein assemblies, were studied using a new nonlinear vibrational imaging technique called vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) microscopy. This technique successfully mapped out the mesoscopic morphology, microscopic geometry, symmetry, and ultrafast dynamics of an LSA formed by β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The spatial imaging also revealed correlations between these different physical properties. Such knowledge shed light on the functions and mechanical properties of LSAs. In this Feature Article, we briefly introduce the fundamental principles of the VSFG microscope and then discuss the in-depth molecular physics of the LSAs revealed by this imaging technique. The application of the VSFG microscope to the artificial LSAs also paved the way for an alternative approach to studying the structure-dynamic-function relationships of protein assemblies, which were essential for life and difficult to study because of their various and complicated interactions. We expect that the hyperspectral VSFG microscope could be broadly applied to many noncentrosymmetric soft materials.

Abstract
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and glycoproteins (AFGPs) are exemplary at modifying ice crystal growth and at inhibiting ice recrystallization (IRI) in frozen solutions. These properties make them highly attractive for cold storage and cryopreservation applications of biological tissue, food, and other water-based materials. The specific requirements for optimal cryostorage remain unknown, but high IRI activity has been proposed to be crucial. Here, we show that high IRI activity alone is insufficient to explain the beneficial effects of AF(G)Ps on human red blood cell (hRBC) survival. We show that AF(G)Ps with different IRI activities cause similar cell recoveries of hRBCs and that a modified AFGP variant with decreased IRI activity shows increased cell recovery. The AFGP variant was found to have enhanced interactions with a hRBC model membrane, indicating that the capability to stabilize cell membranes is another important factor for increasing the survival of cells after cryostorage. This information should be considered when designing novel synthetic cryoprotectants.

Abstract
Recently, a super uranyl binding protein (SUP) was developed, which exhibits excellent sensitivity/selectivity to bind uranyl ions. It can be immobilized onto a surface in sensing devices to detect uranyl ions. Here, sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy was applied to probe the interfacial structures of surface-immobilized SUP. The collected SFG spectra were compared to the calculated orientation-dependent SUP SFG spectra using a one-excitonic Hamiltonian approach based on the SUP crystal structures to deduce the most likely surface-immobilized SUP orientation(s). Furthermore, discrete molecular dynamics (DMD) simulation was applied to refine the surface-immobilized SUP conformations and orientations. The immobilized SUP structures calculated from DMD simulations confirmed the SUP orientations obtained from SFG data analyzed based on the crystal structures and were then used for a new round of SFG orientation analysis to more accurately determine the interfacial orientations and conformations of immobilized SUP before and after uranyl ion binding, providing an in-depth understanding of molecular interactions between SUP and the surface and the effect of uranyl ion binding on the SUP interfacial structures. We believe that the developed method of combining SFG measurements, DMD simulation, and Hamiltonian data analysis approach is widely applicable to study biomolecules at solid/liquid interfaces.

Abstract
Sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy is a unique and powerful tool for investigating surfaces and interfaces at the molecular level. Phase-sensitive SFG (PS-SFG) is an upgraded technique that can overcome the inherent drawbacks of conventional SFG. Here we review several methods of PS-SFG developed and reported in 1990-2020. We introduce how and by which group each PS-SFG method was designed and built in terms of interferometer implementation for optical heterodyne detection, with one exception of a recent numerical method that does not rely on interferometry. We also discuss how PS-SFG solved some typical problems for aqueous interfaces that were once left open by conventional SFG. These problems and their solutions are good examples to demonstrate why PS-SFG is essential. In addition, we briefly note a few terminology issues related with PS-SFG to avoid confusion.
