Kadam Ulhas Sopanrao,Cho Yuhan,Park Tae Yoon,Hong Jong Chan 한국응용생명화학회 2023 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.66 No.-

CRISPR-Cas systems have been widely used in genome editing and transcriptional regulation. Recently, CRISPR-Cas effectors are adopted for biosensor construction due to its adjustable properties, such as simplicity of design, easy operation, collateral cleavage activity, and high biocompatibility. Aptamers’ excellent sensitivity, specificity, in vitro synthesis, base-pairing, labeling, modification, and programmability has made them an attractive molecular recognition element for inclusion in CRISPR-Cas systems. Here, we review current advances in aptamer-based CRISPR-Cas sensors. We briefly discuss aptamers and the knowledge of Cas effector proteins, crRNA, reporter probes, analytes, and applications of target-specific aptamers. Next, we provide fabrication strategies, molecular binding, and detection using fluorescence, electrochemical, colorimetric, nanomaterials, Rayleigh, and Raman scattering. The application of CRISPR-Cas systems in aptamer-based sensing of a wide range of biomarkers (disease and pathogens) and toxic contaminants is growing. This review provides an update and offers novel insights into developing CRISPR-Cas-based sensors using ssDNA aptamers with high efficiency and specificity for point-of-care setting diagnostics.

Facile synthesis of pectin-stabilized magnetic graphene oxide Prussian blue nanocomposites for selective cesium removal from aqueous solution

Kadam, A.A.,Jang, J.,Lee, D.S. Elsevier Applied Science 2016 Bioresource technology Vol.216 No.-

This work focused on the development of pectin-stabilized magnetic graphene oxide Prussian blue (PSMGPB) nanocomposites for removal of cesium from wastewater. The PSMGPB nanocomposite showed an improved adsorption capacity of 1.609mmol/g for cesium, compared with magnetic graphene oxide Prussian blue, magnetic pectin Prussian blue, and magnetic Prussian blue nanocomposites, which exhibited adsorption capacities of 1.230, 0.901, and 0.330mmol/g, respectively. Increased adsorption capacity of PSMGPB nanocomposites was attributed to the pectin-stabilized separation of graphene oxide sheets and enhanced distribution of magnetites on the graphene oxide surface. Scanning electron microscopy images showed the effective separation of graphene oxide sheets due to the incorporation of pectin. The optimum temperature and pH for adsorption were 30<SUP>o</SUP>C and 7.0, respectively. A thermodynamic study indicated the spontaneous and the exothermic nature of cesium adsorption. Based on non-linear regression, the Langmuir isotherm fitted the experimental data better than the Freundlich and Tempkin models.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Remediation of engineered-nanomaterials is an up-coming major environmental concern. This study demonstrates adsorptive-remediation of cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoO NPs) from the water.

Phosphomolybdic Acid Supported on Silica Gel as an Efficient and Reusable Catalyst for Cyanosilylation of Aldehydes

Kadam, Santosh T.,Kim, Sung-Soo Korean Chemical Society 2008 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.29 No.7

Phosphomolybdic acid supported on silica gel (PMA-$SiO_2$) is an efficient catalyst for the activation of TMSCN for the facile cyanosilylation of various aldehydes. Cyano transfer from TMSCN to aldehyde proceeds smoothly at rt in presence of 0.8 mol % of PMA-$SiO_2$ leading to a range of cyanosilylether in excellent yield (mostly over 93%) within short reaction time (30 min). The catalyst can be recovered and reused several times without loss of activity.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were modified with supermagnetic Fe<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> (M-HNTs) and functionalized with chitosan (CTA) (termed as M-HNTs–CTA). Furthermore, M-HNTs–CTA were cross-linked using glutaraldehyde and applied for covalent laccase immobilization (M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I>). Facile-synthesized modified HNTs were structurally characterized by scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analyses. M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> exhibited 92.74 mg/g of laccase immobilization capacity and 92% of activity recovery. Biochemical properties of M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> exhibited higher pH and temperature stabilities, with exceptional reusability capabilities until the 11<SUP>th</SUP> cycle. Moreover, M-HNTs–CTA–<I>Lac</I> exhibited 87% of 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS)-mediated Direct Red 80 (DR80) decolorization.

Kadam, A.N.,Kim, Taek Gon,Shin, Dong Su,Garadkar, K.M.,Park, Jinsub ELSEVIER SCIENCE 2017 Journal of Alloys and Compounds Vol.710 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The structure, morphology and chemical doping in metal oxide are important factors that can influence on its photocatalytic activity. In this work, a facile and template free reflux method has been used to synthesize ZnO nanostructures for the morphology control of cubes, maize corn seeds, and rods at low temperature. The photocatalytic activity of ZnO with different morphology was evaluated towards degradation of methyl orange under UV light illumination. Among all the morphology controlled ZnO, the maize corn seed shaped ZnO shows the superior photocatalytic activity. Moreover, the influence of Cu contents on the structural, optical, and photocatalytic activity of ZnO maize corn seed was also investigated systematically. The photocatalytic experiment towards the degradation of methyl orange revealed that the 0.5 mol% Cu doped ZnO exhibits 3.5 fold higher photocatalytic activity than pure corn seed shaped ZnO. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity by Cu ions substituting in ZnO lattices is attributed to synergetic effect of Cu and ZnO, increase the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, oxygen vacancy, decrease in crystallite size and the higher surface to volume ratio. Based on scavengers test, it was found that both superoxide and hydroxyl radicals are mainly actives species involved for the degradation of methyl orange.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> ZnO with cube, corn seed and rod like morphology were prepared by a facile reflux method. </LI> <LI> Controlled Cu doping could be achieved at low temperature. </LI> <LI> The substitution of Cu<SUP>2+</SUP> in ZnO corn seed was confirmed by various characterization techniques. </LI> <LI> 0.5 mol% Cu doped ZnO exhibits 3.5 times higher photocatalytic activity than pure ZnO (Z5). </LI> <LI> Based on scavengers test, both superoxide and hydroxyl radicals are mainly actives species. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Supermagnetically Tuned Halloysite Nanotubes Functionalized with Aminosilane for Covalent Laccase Immobilization

Kadam, Avinash A.,Jang, Jiseon,Lee, Dae Sung American Chemical Society 2017 ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES Vol.9 No.18

<P>Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were tuned with supermagnetic Fe3O4 (M-HNTs) and functionalized with beta-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) (A-M-HNTs). Gluteraldehyde (GTA) was linked to A-M-HNTs (A-M-HNTs-GTA) and explored for covalent laccase immobilization. The structural characterization of M-HNTs, A-M-HNTs, and A-M-HNTs-GTA-immobilized laccase (A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac) was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field-emission high resolution transmission electron microscopy, a magnetic property measurement system, and thermogavimetric analyses. A-MHNTs-GTA-Lac gave 90.20% activity recovery and a loading capability of 84.26 mg/g, with highly improved temperature and storage stabilities. Repeated usage of A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac revealed a remarkably consistent relative activity of 80.49% until the ninth cycle. The A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac gave consistent redox-mediated sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation up to the eighth cycle. In the presence of guaiacol, A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac gave elevated SMX degradation compared with 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and syrinialdehyde. Therefore, the A-M-HNTs can serve as supermagnetic aminofunctionalized nanoreactors for biomacromolecule immobilization. The obtained A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac is an environmentally friendly biocatalyst for effective degradation of micropollutants, such as SMX, and can be easily retrieved from an aqueous solution by a magnet after decontamination of pollutants in water and wastewater.</P>
