Article Abstract
Invited for the cover of this issue are Jeffrey Einkauf, Vyacheslav Bryantsev, Bruce Moyer, and Radu Custelcean from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The image depicts an anion receptor functionalized with a new photoswitchable chromophore, the diiminoguanidinium group, with exceptionally strong sulfate-binding affinity that can be turned off by photoirradiation with UV light.

Chiral sterically overcrowded alkenes are potential candidates for artificial light-driven rotary molecular motors (LRMMs), which perform a full 360° unidirectional rotation around the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond through a series of photochemical and thermal isomerization processes. However, the majority of the reported LRMMs adopt an intrinsic chirality (, an integration of the chirality center with the photoresponsive unit), which hampers the effective gating of their rotary direction through chirality switching. Herein, we report a new sterically overcrowded alkene equipped with a boronic acid receptor for dynamic covalent bonding with chiral vicinal diols, enabling it to function as an extrinsic chirality-based LRMM.

Photopharmacology offers powerful opportunities to control protein signaling using photoresponsive ligands. Despite the vast potential of photoswitchable ligands for spatiotemporal target protein control, research on ligand-protein binding kinetics of these ligands remains limited. Herein, we describe the discovery of the first radiolabeled photoswitchable ligand, [H]VUF26063 ([H]), to assess light-dependent ligand-protein binding kinetics in real time.

Clenbuterol is a potent partial agonist on the human β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) and available for veterinary use to treat respiratory diseases. We executed an "" strategy to generate a small library of photoresponsive azobenzene derivatives of clenbuterol. Illumination with two complementary wavelengths allowed interconversion between isomeric and forms, as proven by UV/vis, NMR and LC-MS studies.

Dephosphorylation is an essential process in cellular signaling with protein phosphatases playing a critical role in cellular functions and disease mechanisms. Herein, a novel and ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing platform for detecting protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) activity was developed, based on the sensitization effect of a magnetic ZnFeO@ZrMOF nanoenzyme integrated with a two-step radical polymerization signal amplification strategy. The PTP1B-specific phosphorylated peptide (p-peptide) was immobilized on a 96-well plate and then coupled to the ZnFeO@ZrMOF nanoenzyme through coordination between its phosphate groups and Zr ions.

Solid-state nanopore and nanochannel biosensors have revolutionized protein detection by offering label-free, highly sensitive analyses. Traditional sensing systems (1st and 2nd stages) primarily focus on inner wall (IW) interactions, facing challenges such as complex preparation processes, variable protein entry angles, and conformational changes, leading to irregular detection events. To address these limitations, recent advancements (3rd stage) have shifted toward outer surface (OS) functionalization but are constrained by single-protein recognition models.
