https://www.selleckchem.com/products/icfsp1.html A dual-function cellulose nanofiber (CNF)-based bionic biosensor with good biocompatibility was developed for detecting Ag+ and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by grafting deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) onto CNF. The Ag+ ions captured by the biosensor acted as recognition sites for the detection of AChE. The CNF-based bionic biosensor (CNF-DNA) could detect Ag+ concentrations as low as 10-6 nM in the presence of interference metal ions (Hg2+, Ba2+, Cd2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+). DNA-template silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) were formed on the surface of CNF-DNA during the detection of Ag+ (CNF-DNA-AgNCs). This new strategy yielded CNF-DNA-AgNCs through the adsorption of Ag+ ions onto the cytosine base of the single-stranded DNA in CNF-DNA without the use of any additional reducer. Meanwhile, the CNF-DNA-AgNCs exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity for trace levels (0.053 mU/mL) of AChE in the presence of interference reagents. The novel strategy proposed in this paper may establish a foundation for further research on DNA-template AgNCs for developing biosensors and biomarkers for in vivo and in vitro detection.In order to remove and stabilize As(III) simultaneously from wastewater, a novel and effective method based on the in-situ formation of As(III)-containing Zn-Fe layered double hydroxides (ZnFe-As-LDHs) was developed. The influence of pH, Zn/Fe, Fe/As and adding rate on the formation of ZnFe-As-LDHs were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the concentration of As(III) decreased from 100 to 0.13 mg/L and As leaching concentration of the ultimate sludge was 1.87 mg/L, which could meet the arsenic leaching criteria (5 mg/L) regulated by US EPA. Compared with the "ex-situ" sludge obtained by As(III) adsorbed on the pre-formed ZnFe-LDHs, the As(III) removal efficiency increased by 21.6 % and the stability of the sludge increased by 94.2 % on the in-situ formation of LDHs, which mainly attributed to 55.06
