Article Abstract
We report that aromatic amphiphiles based on cruciform aromatic segments self-assemble into 2-D sheet structures in aqueous environments. Notably, the aromatic amphiphile based on a pyrene unit generates fluorescence-switching 2-D sheet structures. In a pH-neutral condition, the sheets show strong excimer emission. However, upon lowering the pH the excimer emission is quenched due to loosely-packed pyrene units. Subsequent return of pH to a neutral condition leads to full recovery of the excimer emission, indicative of fully-reversible fluorescence emission switching.

This work demonstrates new attempts to determine the intermolecular distances between charged macroionic solutes in their dilute solutions, which regulate the solute's microphase (self-assembly) and macrophase transitions. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and analytical ultracentrifuge (AUC) techniques were applied to determine the intermolecular distances for the 2.42 nm-sized, spherical uranyl peroxide molecular cluster {U} in their self-assembled states in dilute aqueous solution and concentrated phases, respectively.

Activation segments (ASs) of protein kinases play crucial roles in regulation, rendering them prime candidates for therapeutic intervention. Their structural and sequence diversity makes them challenging to study systematically. This study proposes a novel classification of protein kinase ASs based on comprehensive analysis of their sequences, structures and conformational dynamics.

The Southern Ocean (SO) is one of the most important sinks of atmospheric CO. However, it is lacking data from the other waterbodies of Antarctic continent. This study investigated in situ CO and CH fluxes in different waterbodies, including coastal seawater of the Terra Nova Bay (TNB) polynya, Ross Sea, snow/meltwater of Nansen Ice Shelf, and lakes of Inexpressible Island, East Antarctica during summer, 2022-2023.
