Article Abstract
A series of anionic alkynylplatinum(ii) complexes with terpyridine (tpy) or 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2'-yl)pyridine (bzimpy) as the tridentate -donor pincer ligand has been synthesized and characterized. These complexes are found to form ensembles with a cationic poly(fluorene--phenylene) derivative (PFP-NMe ) through electrostatic, Pt(ii)⋯Pt(ii) and π-π stacking interactions. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been found to take place, consequently gave rise to fluorescence quenching of the polymer donor and the emergence of low-energy emission from the platinum(ii) complex assemblies. The spectroscopic and FRET properties of the two-component systems have been investigated by UV-vis absorption, emission and Stern-Volmer quenching studies. Pathogen imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT) studies using the polymer-platinum(ii) complex ensembles have demonstrated better performance compared to that using PFP-NMe only, which highlights the potential of this class of ensembles for various biological applications.

RNA can fold to form complex three-dimensional tertiary structures, with large roles in RNA biology. However, accurate discovery of motifs that form true tertiary structures remains an unsolved challenge. Here we demonstrate that at rare but distinctive sites, RNA tertiary folding creates electronegative pockets that undergo selective chemistry with a small positively-charged chemical probe, trimethyloxonium (TMO).

Collagen VI is an extracellular matrix protein forming complex microfibrillar networks in connective tissues. Specifically, we focused on its role in innate immunity, in particular on cationic sequence motifs from the α3(VI)-chain, which exhibit strong antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro and in vivo. Cytotoxicity assays revealed minimal to no adverse effects, even at concentrations effective against bacterial pathogens.

The contribution analysis of influencing factors governing biochar-mediated heavy metal adsorption in aqueous systems holds significant implications for cost-effective water remediation. Current studies predominantly rely on single-model approaches to identify critical variables, which may introduce bias due to inherent model assumptions, thereby impeding systematic elucidation of impact mechanisms and variable interactions. To address this gap, we integrated twelve machine learning models with SHAP (Shapley Additive exPlanations) interpretation to holistically investigate determinants and key variables.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a powerful analytical tool for dye monitoring in environmental waters; however, challenges remain in resolving complex mixtures due to spectral overlap and limited signal reproducibility. To address this issue, a dual-channel SERS system integrated with machine learning (ML) was developed. Positively and negatively charged polyelectrolyte-modified FeO@SiO-Au substrates were employed for the selective detection of anionic and cationic dyes, respectively.

The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel is a key mediator of pain and inflammation, making it a crucial target for developing new analgesics. Despite progress in understanding TRPV1's role, novel modulators that effectively inhibit nociceptive transduction are needed. Additionally, robust drug design protocols capable of exploring vast chemical space remain imperative.
