Article Abstract

A sensing strategy to significantly enhance the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of berberine hydrochloride (BBR) is proposed. A supramolecular framework material was prepared by using 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) and nor-seco-cucurbit[10]uril (ns-Q[10]). Single crystal structure analysis confirmed that the SSA@ns-Q[10] assembly forms a ternary complex. SSA@ns-Q[10] assembly can induce BBR aggregation to a large extent, which leads to the enhancement of fluorescence intensity of mixed solution. The results showed that SSA@ns-Q[10] assembly can be used as an excellent fluorescent sensing material for detecting BBR. This assembly has been successfully applied to the detection of BBR in human serum samples, highlighting its potential for use in both environmental and biological systems. Additionally, the SSA@ns-Q[10]‒BBR system shows promise for a variety of applications, including anti-counterfeiting, screen printing, and the production of fluorescent-emitting handicrafts.

Two yeast strains, PYCC 10015 and PYCC 10016, were isolated from soil from an Irish forest. Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) of the rRNA gene repeat, and the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene, showed that they belong to the and genera of the order , but they did not exactly match any known species.

Programmable self-assembly has recently enabled the creation of complex structures through precise control of the interparticle interactions and the particle geometries. Targeting ever more structurally complex, dynamic, and functional assemblies necessitates going beyond the design of the structure itself, to the measurement and control of the local flexibility of the intersubunit connections and its impact on the collective mechanics of the entire assembly. In this study, we demonstrate a method to infer the mechanical properties of multisubunit assemblies using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and RELION's multi-body refinement.

This study investigates how hydrophobic and hydrophilic modifications at the C-terminus of the base peptide, KFEFEFKFK (KbpK), affect the hydrogel macroscopic properties. By the incorporation of phenylalanine (F, hydrophobic) and lysine (K, hydrophilic) residues, four variants, KbpK-K, KbpK-F, KbpK-KF, and KbpK-FK, were designed and evaluated. pH-concentration phase diagrams and Fourier transform infrared confirmed clear links showing how peptide hydrophobicity and charge influence β-sheet formation and macroscopic phase behavior.

The discovery of new weak supramolecular interactions and supramolecular synthons is essential for directing self-assembly processes with enhanced precision, diversity, and functionality in complex molecular architectures. Here, we report the controlled self-assembly of diverse supramolecular architectures by a new directional bonding approach through the integration of radical-based dynamic covalent chemistry and supramolecular synthons. A novel macrocyclic synthon, , with a linear direction is constructed via radical-based dynamic covalent bonds from the phenothiazine building block substituted with two dicyanomethyl radicals.
