ABSTRACT
CdIn2S4 and zinc tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (ZnTCPP) were synthesized by hydrothermal method, and an organic dye-sensitized inorganic semiconductor ZnTCPP/CdIn2S4 type II heterojunction was constructed on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate electrode. A sandwich immunostructure for signal-attenuation photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) was constructed using the ZnTCPP/CdIn2S4/FTO photoanode and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-ZnFe2O4-Ab2-bovine serum albumin (BSA) immunolabeling complex. The bioenzyme HRP and the HRP-like nanozyme ZnFe2O4 can co-catalyze the oxidation of 4-chloro-1-naphthol (4-CN) by H2O2 to produce an insoluble precipitate on the photoanode, thus notably reducing the anodic photocurrent for quantitative determination of cTnI. Under the optimal conditions, the photocurrent at 0 V vs. SCE in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.40) containing 0.1 M ascorbic acid was linear with the logarithm of cTnI concentration from 500 fg mL-1 to 50.0 ng mL-1, and the limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) is 0.15 pg mL-1. Spiked recoveries were 95.1% ~ 104% for assay of cTnI in human serum samples.

An efficient lipase-catalyzed stereoselective transesterification reaction system was established for resolution of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol (MOPE) enantiomers. A series of lipases were tested and compared. The immobilized lipase Novozym 40086 is selected as the best choice. The effects of organic solvent, acyl donor, time and temperature on substrate conversion (c), and optical purity of the remaining substrate (eeS ) were investigated. Response surface methodology and central composite design were employed to evaluate the effect of some important factors and to optimize the process. Under the optimized conditions including solvent of n-hexane, acyl donor of vinyl acetate, temperature of 35°C, substrate molar ratio of 1:6, enzyme dosage of 20 mg, and reaction time of 2.5 h, eeS of 99.87% with c of 56.71% is achieved. The use of alkane solvent and immobilized enzyme, the mild reaction conditions, and the reduced reaction time make the system promising in industrial application.
