Selective recognition memory impairment in mitochondrial hydroxylase Clk1 mutant mice, rescued by antipsychotics.

Mitochondria are not only the most important organelles in eukaryotic cells that participate in energy metabolism, signal transduction, cell apoptosis and other physiological processes, but also essential regulators of neurodevelopment, neuroplasticity, survival and adult neurogenesis. The mitochondria-localized hydroxylase Clk-1 is involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis. Recent evidence shows that Clk1 mutant mice are resistant to morphine- and methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference.

Rational Coordination Engineering of Fe-Co Dual-Atom Catalysts for Enhanced Oxygen Reduction Reaction via Synergistic Electronic Modulation.

The development of efficient dual-atom catalysts (DACs) requires an atomic-level understanding on the microscopic coordination environment that is hard to characterize experimentally. Herein we rationally design DACs with diverse Fe-Co/NO configurations, among which the NNOONO-coordinated configuration is identified to exhibit superior stability and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity based on first-principles calculations. Mechanistic analysis reveals that the ORR is triggered by side-on adsorption of O on the Co site, enabled by strong hybridization between Co 3d orbitals and O π* antibonding states.
