Article Abstract
We identify hydrogen ordering in H_{2}O ices spectroscopically in the near-infrared (NIR) range (10 000-4000 cm^{-1}/1-2.5 μm) based on the example of ices V/XIII. Previously it was thought that hydrogen ordering can only be revealed on the basis of lattice phonons, i.e., intermolecular vibrations. Here we show differences in the overtone spectrum of the intramolecular OH-stretching vibration. This makes NIR spectroscopy the first remote sensing method that is sensitive to different orientations of the water dipoles within ice. As such it will allow for future observations of the hydrogen order of ices in space by the James-Webb Space Telescope or the JUICE mission.

The widespread discharge of emerging micropollutants (EMs) into sewer systems has raised serious environmental concerns throughout the world. However, the transformation mechanisms underlying the accumulation of EMs in sewer sediments remain largely unexplored. This study investigated the transformation fate and mechanisms of chloroxylenol (PCMX) in sewer sediments.

We recently demonstrated a rapid reaction between labile ferric heme and nitric oxide (NO) in the presence of reduced glutathione (GSH) or other small thiols in a process called thiol-catalyzed reductive nitrosylation, yielding a novel signaling molecule, labile nitrosyl ferrous heme (NO-ferroheme), which we and others have shown can regulate vasodilation and platelet homeostasis. Red blood cells (RBCs) contain high concentrations of GSH, and NO can be generated in the RBC via nitrite reduction and/or RBC endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) so that NO-ferroheme could, in principle, be formed in the RBC. NO-ferroheme may also form in other cells and compartments, including in plasma, where another small and reactive thiol species, hydrogen sulfide (HS/HS), is also present and may catalyze NO-ferroheme formation akin to GSH.

Assembly is a natural process where molecules spontaneously form ordered structures with specific functions. In supramolecular co-assembly, interactions between surface soft patches drive structural changes, though this key aspect is often overlooked. In this study, we propose a strategy for supramolecular co-assembly mediated by surface soft patches and apply this approach to optimize the broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of lysozyme (LYS)-konjac glucomannan (KGM) supramolecular co-assembly.

In recent years, interactions between polysaccharides and proteins have been widely considered for use to improve protein gel performances. We previously found carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) can increase Pleurotus eryngii protein (PEP) gel properties, but the contributions of different key PEP fractions to overall gel formation remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate how CMCS affects the gel properties of PEP via intermolecular interactions with PEP fractions, including PEP1-1, PEP2-2, and PEP5-1.

Organic-inorganic hybrid thiocyanates include a variety of compositions and structure types. To develop a better understanding of the interactions that control the crystal structure in this family of materials, six hybrid thiocyanate halide compounds with the general formula ACd(SCN)X (A = CHNH, CHCHNH, CH(CH)NH, CH(CH)NH; X = Cl, Br) have been synthesized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that five of the six compounds crystallize with triclinic 1̅ symmetry, the lone exception being (CH(CH)NH)Cd(SCN)Cl which adopts 2/ symmetry.
