A new scheme for boosting in situ Fenton-like reaction in plant pathogenic tissues for selective structural degradation of capsid proteins by Jun Ma, Ming Chen, Yujie Wang, Jiaying Li, Jian Tang, Shengjun Wu, Chi He, J. Paul Chen

“…We designed a new Fenton-like reaction inducer, tCuinter-bCDs, which utilizes an internal doping strategy that reduces copper content by 89.89% compared to conventional doping methods, while still achieving a high coexistence of multivalent copper ions. Our research demonstrated that tCuinter-bCDs possessed functional activity to specifically recognize and proximally degrade CP. tCuinter-bCDs form complexes with CP monomers through supramolecular bonds characterized by significant electrostatic components. …”

Consequences of Surface Composition and Aggregation Conditions of Ag Nanoparticles on Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) of Pesticides by Marcelo José dos Santos Oliveira, Gilia Cristine Marques Ruiz, Rafael Jesus Gonçalves Rubira, Santiago Sanchez-Cortes, Carlos José Leopoldo Constantino, Leonardo Negri Furini

“…The thicker coating layer of AgCT prevented the adsorption of both pesticides on the surface of the nanoparticles, which was achievable using salts containing Cl⁻ ions. Additionally, to obtain the SERS signal of MBC with AgCT, besides the presence of chlorinated salts, other adjustments were necessary, such as changing both the pH of the medium (from pH 5.8 to pH 8, for which MBC is in its neutral form) and the laser lines (from 785 to 514.5 nm). …”
