Article Abstract
Water instability is a crucial limiting factor in the practical application of most fluorescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, by introducing a fascinating double-helical structure generated through dense stacking of organic ligands, a water-stable fluorescence MOF has been synthesized, namely, [Cd2(tib)2(bda)2]·(solvent)n (1) [tib =1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl) benzene; H2bda = 2,2'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid]. This helical structure helps to enhance the stability of 1 against common organic solvents and water, even acid/base aqueous solutions with a pH value ranging from 3 to 11. Furthermore, this material can be a potential fluorescent sensor for ketones.

Polyaromatic quaternary ammonium salts (PQASs) are of significant interest due to their promising applications in biological and materials sciences. The incorporation of a heteroatom significantly modifies the electronic and chemical properties of these molecules, influencing their absorption and emission characteristics, as well as the HOMO-LUMO gap. Herein, we report the synthesis and photophysical investigation of [7]helicene-backboned quaternary ammonium salts.

A key aspect of this reconfiguration is the interaction of DNA nanostructures with other biomolecules or chemical stimuli such as pH and ionic conditions. Sequence-based nanostructure reconfiguration is largely achieved by strand displacement which is based on single stranded toeholds.

Higher-ordered nucleic acid structures like triplex and quadruplex forms have been the center of attention of the current research field of medicinal chemistry. The triplex is formed through the sequence-specific association of a single-stranded, triplex-forming oligonucleotide (TFO) with nucleic acid duplex structures. In our present study, we have focused on an RNA triplex (U.

Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites in DNA can give rise to interstrand cross-links via reactions of the ring-opened AP-aldehyde residue with the exocyclic amino groups of 2'-deoxyadenosine, 2'-deoxyguanosine, and 2'-deoxycytosine residues (dA, dG, and dC) on the opposing strand to give imine/N-glycosylamine linkages. Endogenous AP-derived cross-links in cellular DNA could contribute to cancer, aging, and neurodegeneration. The yields of AP-derived cross-links produced by the various nucleobases vary widely, and, until now, it remained unclear whether these differences might simply reflect differences in the inherent reactivities of the nucleobases.

Establishing DNA as the genetic material, deciphering the genetic code and defining the double helical structure of the genome provided a foundation for pursuing a mechanistic understanding of gene expression that is operative for biological control and pathology. Equally important are a series of discoveries that have established epigenetic mechanisms, defined as the control of gene expression by non-DNA-encoded regulation, mediated by an evolving histone code that supports chromatin states, as complementary and obligatory determinants for biological activity. Evidence is accruing for pivotal contributions by epigenetic parameters of control to gene expression that is required for development and differentiation as well as for transient and sustained responsiveness to physiological regulatory cues that support cell structure, function, cell survival, tissue repair and remodeling.
