Rational molecular design of novel class-III peptidic antagonists to competitively disrupt human PPARδ self-binding peptide.

Human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ (PPARδ) belongs to the nuclear receptor PPAR family that plays central roles in the regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis and has also been implicated in cell proliferation, differentiation and inflammation. The PPARδ has a ligand-dependent transactivation function module located in the C-terminal helix 12 (H12) of its ligand-binding domain (LBD), which regulates the protein activation and inactivation by dynamically binding to and unbound from the H12-binding site (HBS) of PPARδ LBD domain, thus rendering the H12 as a so-called self-binding peptide (SBP). Currently, the existing PPARδ antagonists can be divided into two classes I and II in terms of their regulatory mechanism; the class-I antagonists competitively block natural agonists, while the class-II antagonists lock H12 out of the HBS site.

Design of a high-performance infrared birefringent crystal BaHgPSe a low-dimensional motif intercalation strategy.

The development of birefringent materials, especially infrared (IR) birefringent crystals, has been limited by conflicting microstructural requirements, such as broad transmission range, wide band gap, and large birefringence. In this work, we propose a "low-dimensional motif intercalation" strategy for designing high-performance birefringent materials. Utilizing the layered selenophosphorus BaPSe as a prototype compound, a novel IR birefringent crystal BaHgPSe with enhanced birefringence was successfully synthesized by the intercalation of the linear [HgSe] moieties, while the outstanding optical properties such as wide band gap and long IR cutoff were maintained.
