Article Abstract
Interconversion dynamics of the ligand in the primary docking site of myoglobin (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb) in trehalose and glycerol/D2O mixtures at 283 K was investigated by probing time-resolved vibrational spectra of CO photolyzed from these proteins. The interconversion dynamics in viscous media are similar to those in aqueous solution, indicating that it is minimally coupled to the solvent-coupled large-scale protein motion. Interconversion rates in the heme pocket of Hb in water solution are slower than those of Mb in trehalose glass, suggesting that the interconversion barrier in Hb is intrinsically higher than that in Mb and is not modified by the solvent viscosity.

Cu/Cu redox-cycling-driven dual-mode sensor for simultaneous monitoring of acetylcholinesterase activity and pesticide exposure.

Introduction: The procedural complexity and time-consuming of conventional pesticide residue detection methods in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) significantly impeded their application in modern systems. To address this, this study presented an innovative dual-mode sensor driven by Cu/Cu redox-cycling, which achieved efficient signal transduction from enzyme inhibition to optical response for rapid acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and organophosphorus pesticide (OP) residue detection.
Methods: The AB-Cu NPs sensor, a dynamic redox-responsive system, was constructed via coordination-driven assembly of Azo-Bodipy 685 (AB 685) and Cu.

We describe the preparation, conformational dynamics, and stereoselective recognition characteristics of water-soluble pillar[6]arenes pS-2 and pR-2. These two novel and diastereomeric cavitands comprise a 2,5-bis(ethoxy)pillar[6]arene core with one of six phenylene ring conjugated to two hexaanionic dendrons. Each dendron includes an (S)-glutamic acid amidated with two tris-carboxylic Behera's amines.

Atropisomers are stereoisomers that arise from restricted bond rotation and undergo dynamic conformational change depending on time and temperature. The interconversion of atropisomers could result in a non-baseline "plateau" or "bridging area" between the isomer peaks in liquid chromatography (LC), which diminishes the chromatographic resolution and reduces the assurance of the analyte's purity. Conventional one-dimensional LC (1D-LC) separation relies on one or two major interactions among the analyte, mobile and stationary phase in an analytical column, which may not be sufficient for deciphering the bridging area.

Atomically dispersed and cluster copper (Cu) catalysts anchored on nitrogenated holey carbon frameworks have garnered increasing attention as promising platforms for the electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR), yet the structural evolution and mechanistic origin of selectivity and C-C coupling on Cu clusters remain elusive. Herein, we performed a comprehensive first-principles study of Cu clusters supported on CN substrates to elucidate their structural stability, electronic properties, and catalytic behavior toward C-C products. The Cu atoms stably bind to N sites, evolving from planar to 3D configurations with an increasing cluster size.

The catalytic coupling conversion of naphtha and CO to aromatics over metal-zeolites offers a fascinating route for aromatics production, yet, the exploitation of efficient metal-zeolite catalysts and CO coupled naphtha to make CO transformed into high-value-added chemicals remain great challenges. Herein, we synthesized a framework-anchored Ga-MFI catalyst synthesized ligand-assisted hydrothermal crystallization, achieving 80.76% aromatic selectivity at 99.
