Data supporting article Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid: A Gateway for Targeted Killing of Staphylococcus aureus on ´the Race for Surface´ Colonization
<h2>Description</h2>
<p><strong><span>Abstract</span></strong><span>: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is degraded by Staphylococcal hyaluronate lyase (Hysa) and mammalian hyaluronidase (Hyal). We aim to use thiolated HA (HAMS) as a targeted gateway for <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> killing while enhancing our previous M23 endolysin–polyphosphate (M23-PP NPs) enzyme-responsive nanoparticle formulation.</span></p>
<p><span>Synthesis of HAMS and characterization for nuclear magnetic resonance, solubility, thiol content, pKa, and degradation by Hysa and Hyal is presented. Nanoparticles prepared via ionotropic gelation between M23-PP NPs and either HAMS or HA, yield to M23-PP/HAMS or M23-PP/HA NPs, respectively. Their characterization includes size, zeta potential, morphology, release profiles, safety, targeted release, and efficacy.</span></p>
<p><span>HAMS with a thiol content of 250.18 ± 90.32 µmol/g, solubility of 50.99±0.02 mg/mL, exhibits pKa values of 3.2, 4.2, and 8.8. This thiolated polymer irreversibly inhibits Hyal activity, without affecting Hysa. M23-PP/HAMS NPs (265 ± 47 nm, -25 mV) maintain their integrity for seven days at 37 °C, and HAMS coating prevents nonspecific degradation by Hyal, as confirmed by release studies.</span></p>
<p><span>In a co-culture ‘race for the surface’ experiment with MC3T3 osteoblasts and <em>S. aureus</em> ATCC 25923, M23-PP/HAMS NPs produce 8-log bacterial killing while promoting <em>in vitro</em> wound healing. </span></p>
<p><span>Our findings are pivotal to the development of new enzyme-responsive excipients switchable by <em>S. aureus</em>.</span></p>

Facet-Dependent Restructuring and Catalytic Activity of Cu Single Crystals during CO Electro-Oxidation
<p>Raw data for the publication DOI: <a title="DOI URL" href="https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.5c13881">https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.5c13881</a></p><p>Understanding the relationship between surface structure and catalytic activity is central to the rational design of efficient electrocatalysts. While Cu is well-known for its tendency to restructure under reaction conditions, it remains poorly understood how exactly such dynamic structural changes influence the catalytic activity. Here, we combine electrochemistry with <em>in situ</em> electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM) to study and directly compare CO electro-oxidation on Cu(111) and Cu(100) single crystals and how it relates to the structural changes on these two faces.</p>
<p>We find that both surfaces undergo nanometer-scale restructuring during the reaction, leading to the formation of undercoordinated Cu adatoms, which act as the catalytically active sites for both surfaces. However, their morphological evolution differs markedly: Cu(111) exhibits dynamic and reversible restructuring, maintaining a high density of adatom nanoclusters across successive potential steps, whereas Cu(100) forms clusters that evolve less reversibly, with a gradual decrease in cluster density over time and upon repeated potential steps. Notably, the evolution of clusters and their density does not directly correlate with the observed catalytic activity for either facet. Instead, we propose that the facet-dependent differences in activity stem primarily from variations in the effective density of the catalytically active Cu adatoms and their distinct interaction with reactants, rather than from different structural motifs.</p>
<p>These findings highlight the crucial role of dynamic surface restructuring in governing catalytic performance and emphasize the need to account for facet-specific morphological and structural changes in the rational design of efficient Cu-based electrocatalysts.</p>
Intermediate scattering function of colloids in a periodic laser field
<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>We investigate the dynamics of individual colloidal particles in a one-dimensional periodic potential using the intermediate scattering function (ISF) as a key observable. We elaborate a theoretical framework and derive formally exact analytical expressions for the ISF. We introduce and analyze a generalized ISF with two wave numbers to capture correlations in a periodic potential beyond the standard ISF. Relying on Bloch's theorem for periodic systems and, by solving the Smoluchowski equation for an overdamped Brownian particle in a cosine potential, we evaluate the ISF by numerically solving for the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the expression. We apply time-dependent perturbation theory to expand the ISF and extract low-order moments, including the mean-square displacement, the time-dependent diffusivity, and the non-Gaussian parameter. Our analytical results are validated through Brownian-dynamics simulations and experiments on 2D colloidal systems exposed to a light-induced periodic potential generated by two interacting laser beams.</p>

<p><strong>Abstract</strong><br>Diboron trioxide (B2O3) represents an unusual case among polymorphic oxides, for its vitrified state features superstructural units – planar boroxol groups – that are never observed in its three-dimensional crystalline polymorphs. Crystalline polymorphs that incorporate boroxol groups have only been predicted theoretically, although their formation is crucial to rationalize the ability of B2O3 to vitrify. Here we present the synthesis of a two-dimensional crystalline B2O3 polymorph constituted by boroxol groups arranged in an atomically thin honeycomb lattice. By combining surface science experimental techniques with ab initio<em> </em>calculations, we characterize the structural and electronic properties of this B2O3 polymorph down to the atomic level. This discovery enlarges the family of two-dimensional materials and enables the atomic tracking of individual structural units in trioxides.</p>
