Collective Behavior of Urease pH Clocks in Nano- and Microvesicles Controlled by Fast Ammonia Transport

Ylenia Miele et al.

Summary: The transmission of chemical signals through extracellular solution is important in cellular biological systems and lipid vesicles applications. This study investigates chemical communication in synthetic micro-and nanovesicles containing urease in a solution of urea and acid. Through experiments and simulations, it is demonstrated that the fast transport of ammonia to the external solution controls the pH-time profile and synchronizes the timing of the pH clock reaction in a heterogeneous population of vesicles. This research shows how the rate of production and emission of a small basic product controls pH changes in active vesicles with different sizes and enzyme amounts, which may have applications in bioreactors or healthcare.

3D-Positioning of Nanoparticles in High-Curvature Block Copolymer Domains

Vanessa B. Leffler et al.

Summary: A defined three-dimensional nanoparticle assembly within unit cells can be achieved by linking nanoparticles to block copolymers. The study shows that the block length ratio and interfacial curvature are crucial factors determining lattice type, with even a one percent volume fraction enough to destabilize the structure and favor the formation of highly curved interfaces. This research paves the way for functional 3D-nanocomposites with nanoparticles located on specific matrix positions.
