Highly efficient bacterial removal and disinfection by magnetic barium phosphate nanoflakes with embedded iron oxide nanoparticles
Junyi Song,Junyi Song,Fan Zhang,Fan Zhang,Yuxiong Huang,Arturo A. Keller,Xiaoxiu Tang,Wanning Zhang,Weibin Jia,Jerome Santos +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used magnetic barium phosphate nanoflakes with embedded iron oxide nanoparticles, Fe3O4@Ba3(PO4)2 (denoted FBP), to purify water heavily contaminated with E. coli.
Vesicular hydrogen silsesquioxane-mediated synthesis of nanocrystalline silicon dispersed in a mesoporous silica/suboxide matrix, with potential for electrochemical applications
TL;DR: In this article, room temperature hydrolysis of triethoxysilane (TES) in the presence of pluronic P-123 copolymer under acidic conditions resulted in the formation of soft nanoscale vesicles with thin hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSiO1.5)n gel walls.

Reflectin Proteins Bind and Reorganize Synthetic Phospholipid Vesicles
Junyi Song,Robert Levenson,Jerome Santos,Lourdes Velazquez,Fan Zhang,Deborah Kuchnir Fygenson,Wenjian Wu,Daniel E. Morse +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the interactions of two purified reflectins with synthetic phospholipid membrane vesicles similar in composition to cellular membranes suggests specific reflectin-membrane interactions may play a role in the ontogenetic formation, long-term maintenance and/or dynamic behavior of their biophotonically active host membrane nanostructures.

Neutralization of a Distributed Coulombic Switch Precisely Tunes Reflectin Assembly
Robert Levenson,Colton Bracken,Cristian Sharma,Jerome Santos,Claire Arata,P. Kohl,Y. Li,Daniel E. Morse +7 more
TL;DR: The assembly behavior of phospho-mimetic, deletion, and other mutants are analyzed in conjunction with pH-titration as an in vitro surrogate of phosphorylation to discover a predictive relationship between the extent of neutralization of the protein’s net charge density and the size of resulting multimeric protein assemblies of narrow polydispersity.

Calibration between trigger and color: Neutralization of a genetically encoded coulombic switch and dynamic arrest precisely tune reflectin assembly.
Robert Levenson,Colton Bracken,Cristian Sharma,Jerome Santos,Claire Arata,Brandon Malady,Daniel E. Morse +6 more
TL;DR: A previously unsuspected, precisely predictive relationship between the extent of neutralization of a reflectin's net charge density and the size of resulting multimeric protein assemblies of narrow polydispersity is uncovered.
