Subsequently, this module was applied in the screening of CXCR4 small molecular ligands from herbal medicine extracts. Senkyunolide I was screened out from Chuanxiong extract. The affinity constant between senkyunolide I and CXCR4 was 2.94 ± 0.36 μM. The Boyden chamber assay revealed that senkyunolide I could inhibit cell migration process. In conclusion, an SPR-based small molecular ligand recognition strategy combined with virus-based membrane protein stabilization method was constructed. The SPR-based membrane protein-targeted active ingredients recognition strategy will be an effective tool to screen target components from complex systems acting on MPs.The second messenger bis(3',5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) regulates numerous important physiological functions in bacteria. In this study, we identified and characterized the first dimeric, full-length, non-heme iron-bound phosphodiesterase (PDE) containing bacterial hemerythrin and HD-GYP domains (Bhr-HD-GYP). We found that the amino acid sequence encoded by the FV185_09380 gene from Ferrovum sp. PN-J185 contains an N-terminal bacterial hemerythrin domain and a C-terminal HD-GYP domain, which is characteristic of proteins with PDE activity toward c-di-GMP. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy analyses showed that Bhr-HD-GYP contains 4 equiv of iron atoms per subunit, suggesting both hemerythrin and HD-GYP domains have non-heme di-iron sites. A redox-dependent spectral change expected for oxo-bridged non-heme iron with carboxylate ligands was observed, and this redox interconversion was reversible. However, unlike marine invertebrate hemerythrin, which functions as an oxygen-binding protein, Bhr-HD-GYP did not form an oxygen adduct because of rapid autoxidation. The reduced ferrous iron complex of the protein catalyzed the hydrolysis of c-di-GMP to its linearized product, 5'-phosphoguanylyl-(3',5')-guanosine (pGpG), whereas the oxidized ferric iron complex had no significant activity. These results suggest that Bhr-HD-GYP is a redox and oxygen sensor enzyme that regulates c-di-GMP levels in response to changes in cellular redox status or oxygen concentration. Our study may lead to an improved understanding of the physiology of iron-oxidizing bacterium Ferrovum sp. PN-J185.Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exist in various crystal structures with semiconducting, semi-metallic, and metallic properties. The dynamic control of these phases is of immediate interest for next-generation electronics such as phase change memories. Of the binary Mo and W-based TMDs, MoTe2 is attractive for electronic applications because it has the lowest energy difference (40 meV) between the semiconducting (2H) and semi-metallic (1T') phases, allowing for MoTe2 phase change by electrostatic doping. Here, we report phase change between the 2H and 1T' polymorphs of MoTe2 in thicknesses ranging from the monolayer to bulk-like case (73 nm) using an ionic liquid electrolyte at room temperature and in air. We find consistent evidence of a partially reversible 2H-1T' transition using in situ Raman spectroscopy where the phase change occurs in the topmost layers of the MoTe2 flake. We find a thickness-dependent transition voltage where higher voltages are necessary to drive the phase change for thicker flakes. We also show evidence of electrochemical activity during the gating process by observation of Te metal formation. This finding suggests the formation of Te vacancies which have been reported to lower the energy difference between the 2H and 1T' phases, potentially aiding the phase change process. Our discovery that the phase change can be achieved on the surface layer of bulk-like materials reveals that this electrochemical mechanism does not require isolation of a single layer and the effect may be more broadly applicable than previously thought.Energy storage and conversion driven by electro- or photocatalyst is a highly exciting field of research, and generations of effective and durable oxide catalysts have received much attention in this field. Here, we report A-site lanthanum-doped oxygen-rich quinary oxide CaLaScRuO6+δ synthesized by adopting the solid-state reaction method and characterized by various techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry, Raman spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed reduction in the presence of a hydrogen atmosphere (H2-TPR). X-ray absorption study confirms the existence of mixed valent Ru ions in the structure, which enhances the oxygen stoichiometry for the partial balance of an extra cationic charge. Neutron powder diffraction and reduction of the material in a hydrogen atmosphere (H2-TPR) can confirm the oxygen overstoichiometry of the catalyst. The present material works as an efficient and robust oxygen bifunctional electrocatalyst for ORR/OER (oxygen evolution reaction/oxygen reduction reaction) followed by four-electron transfer pathway in a strong (1 M KOH) alkaline medium. The catalytic nature of the designed structural and chemical flexible perovskite is a novel example of an electrocatalyst for the oxygen bifunctional activity.Scale formation presents an enormous cost to the global economy. Classical nucleation theory dictates that to reduce the heterogeneous nucleation of scale, the surface should have low surface energy and be as smooth as possible. Olaparib mw Past approaches have focused on lowering surface energy via the use of hydrophobic coatings and have created atomically smooth interfaces to eliminate nucleation sites, or both, via the infusion of low-surface-energy lubricants into rough superhydrophobic substrates. Although lubricant-based surfaces are promising candidates for antiscaling, lubricant drainage inhibits their utilization. Here, we develop methodologies to deposit slippery omniphobic covalently attached liquids (SOCAL) on arbitrary substrates. Similar to lubricant-based surfaces, SOCAL has ultralow roughness and surface energy, enabling low nucleation rates and eliminating the need to replenish the lubricant. To enable SOCAL coating on metals, we investigated the surface chemistry required to ensure high-quality functionalization as measured by ultralow contact angle hysteresis ( less then 3°).
