To reveal the construction principle of an electric double layer (EDL) on a Zn anode, a positively charged artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is established by a quasi-metal-organic framework with open metal sites (OMSs). As illustrated by theoretical calculation and in situ Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy characterization, the OMSs are introduced successfully and unsaturated Ce sites bond with SO anions as transfer sites for Zn, leading to a homogeneous ion distribution within the inner Helmholtz plane (IHP). Therefore, the distribution of Zn-HO-SO in the EDL has been adjusted due to the regulating effect by a SEI. Besides, the regulated EDL reduces the concentration of SO and free HO in the IHP, thus promoting uniform Zn deposition and anticorrosion properties of the Zn anode. As a result, the Q-Ce-808@Zn anode demonstrates exceptional cycling stability over 4200 h (1 mA cm) and 1300 h (20 mA cm).

Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 1 (TAF1) is a pivotal component of the TFIID complex, critical for RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription initiation. However, the molecular basis by which TAF1 recognizes and associates with chromatin remains incompletely understood. Here, we report that the tandem bromodomain module of TAF1 engages nucleosomal DNA through a distinct positively charged surface patch on the first bromodomain (BD1).

Core-shell electrodes provide a potential and innovative approach for significantly enhancing the performance and capacity of supercapacitors (SCs) by combining two distinct materials. The capabilities of these advanced electrodes surpass those of conventional single electrodes. Specifically, these exhibit better energy storage, higher power density, and improved overall performance.

Decades of antibiotic misuse have spurred an antimicrobial resistance crisis, creating an urgent demand for alternative treatment options. Although phototherapy has therapeutic potential, the efficacy of the most advanced photosensitizers (PS) is essentially limited by aggregation-induced quenching, which significantly reduces their therapeutic effect. To address these challenges, we developed a cationic metallocovalent organic framework (CRuP-COF) via a solvent-mediated dual-reaction synthesis strategy.

Antibacterial photodynamic therapy offers a promising approach for combating both susceptible and multidrug-resistant pathogens. However, conventional photosensitizers have limitations in terms of poor binding specificity and weak penetration for pathogens. In this study, we developed synergistic photobactericidal polymers that integrate hydrophilic toluidine blue O (TBO) with the lipophilic penetration enhancer citronellol (CT).
