In this paper we report on a comparative study of the non-alternating CO-C(2)H(4) copolymerization catalyzed by neutral Pd(II) complexes with the phosphine-sulfonate ligands bis(o-methoxyphenyl)phosphinophenylenesulfonate and bis(o-methoxyphenyl)phosphino-ethylenesulfonate. The former ligand, featuring a lower skeletal flexibility, has been found to form more active catalysts as well as produce polyketones with higher molecular weight and higher extra-ethylene incorporation. Operando high-pressure NMR studies have allowed us to intercept, for the first time, Pd(II)(phosphine-sulfonate) beta-chelates in the non-alternating copolymerization cycle, while model organometallic reactions have contributed to demonstrate that Pd(II) (phosphine-sulfonate) fragments do not form stable carbonyl complexes. The opening of the beta-chelates has been found to be a viable process by either comonomer, which contrasts with the behaviour of Pd(II) (chelating diphosphine) catalysts for the perfectly alternating copolymerization.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to metabolic, hormonal, and environmental signals. These receptors play a critical role in metabolic homeostasis, inflammation, immune function, and disease pathogenesis, positioning them as key therapeutic targets. This review explores the mechanistic roles of NRs such as PPARs, FXR, LXR, and thyroid hormone receptors (THRs) in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, energy expenditure, cardiovascular health, and neurodegeneration.

Research conducted over the last 15 years indicates that cAMP is generated not just from the plasma membrane but also from intracellular compartments, particularly in endosomes, where receptors are redistributed during the endocytosis process. This review centers on the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTHR) as a model for a peptide hormone GPCRs that generates cAMP from various locations with distinct duration and pharmacological effectiveness. We discuss how structural dynamics simulations aid in designing ligands that induce cAMP location bias, ultimately answering how the spatiotemporal generation of cAMP affects pharmacological responses mediated by the PTHR.

Transition metal fluorides because of the high electronegativity of fluorine may enhance the local electron density of the metal sites and promote water molecule dissociation and charge transfer. However, enhancing the intrinsic activity of fluorides to improve material stability remains a challenge. Herein, we develop an innovative four-step synthetic strategy (electrochemical deposition → co-precipitation → ligand exchange → in situ fluorination) to engineer three-dimensional porous Fe-doped CoF nanocubes vertically anchored on MXene (Fe-CoF/MXene/NF).

Background: The expression and clinical correlation of BRAFV600E mutation and programmed cell death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) have been reported, but the conclusions of previous studies are inconsistent. In addition, it has been reported that elevated cathepsin S (CTSS) expression is associated with various cancers. However, there is currently no research on the correlation between CTSS and LCH.

DNA-encoded libraries have become widely used in drug discovery, and several different setups to link chemical compounds to DNA have been employed in the field, including single-stranded and double-stranded DNA tags as well as a variety of linker chemistries. In our previous study, we observed distinct differences in binding affinities between ligands coupled either to single-stranded or double-stranded DNA; however, the molecular basis for these differences remained unclear. Here, we present a native ion mobility mass spectrometry approach that incorporates gas- and solution-phase activation techniques to systematically investigate these differences, specifically the impact of DNA tags on binding performance in protein-ligand interactions.
