Fluorescence changes in carbon nanotube sensors correlate with THz absorption of hydration

SWCNTs are pivotal optical molecular sensors, but until now, the underlying mechanism how the binding of analytes affects the fluorescence remained elusive. This study has elucidated that coupling between exciton-coupled plasmon modes of SWCNTs and THz water modes is a significant factor.

Triepoxide formation by a flavin-dependent monooxygenase in monensin biosynthesis

MonCI, a flavin-dependent monooxygenase, transforms all three C = C groups in the polyene substrate into epoxides during monensin A biosynthesis. Here, the authors present the structural basis for this enzyme’s regio- and stereoselective epoxidation activity.

Genetically encoded discovery of perfluoroaryl macrocycles that bind to albumin and exhibit extended circulation in vivo

Peptide-based therapeutics are promising therapeutic modalities, however, their prevalent drawback is poor circulation half-life in vivo. Here, the authors report the selection of albumin-binding macrocyclic peptides from genetically encoded libraries of peptides modified by perfluoroaryl-cysteine chemistry, with decafluoro-diphenylsulfone.

Catalytic transport of molecular cargo using diffusive binding along a polymer track

One-dimensional diffusive binding represents an important mechanism used by nature to facilitate many fundamental biochemical processes. Now, a completely synthetic system with similar capabilities has been constructed. The system was exploited to significantly speed up bimolecular reactions and to catalytically transport molecular cargo in solution and within physically separated compartments.

Broad-spectrum non-toxic antiviral nanoparticles with a virucidal inhibition mechanism

Antiviral nanoparticle-formulated mimics of heparan sulfate proteoglycans were developed and shown to permit strong viral association as well as inhibition of a range of viruses on in vitro and in vivo models of infection.

Differential inhibition of metabolite amyloid formation by generic fibrillation-modifying polyphenols

Small-molecule metabolites can form amyloid fibrils associated with human disease, similar to those formed by proteins. Here the authors show that generic polyphenol inhibitors of protein amyloid formation also inhibit the aggregation of metabolite fibrils and reduce their cytotoxicity.
