The fluorescence of TPEPMO-CFs can be reversed in the presence of volatile acidic/alkaline gas for more than five cycles, exhibiting excellent recyclability. In addition, TPEPMO-CF sensors show excellent washability and long-term photostability (fluorescence was maintained above 94% after washing 10 times). These stimuli-responsive AIEgen-organosilica frameworks featuring diversified forms and superstability for wearable and washable solid-state fluorescence exhibit great potential for smart gas sensors, wearable devices, and solid-state lighting applications.For HIV/AIDS treatment, the cocktail therapy which uses a combination of anti-retroviral drugs remains the most widely accepted practice. However, the potential drug toxicity, patient tolerability, and emerging drug resistance have limited its long-term efficiency. Here, we design a HIV Gag protein-targeting redox supramolecular assembly (ROSA) system for potential HIV inhibition. An assembling precursor was constructed through conjugation of an oxidation-activatable fluorogenic compound BQA with a selected tetrapeptide GGFF. Since BQA shares a similar structure with the known Gag inhibitor, the precursor could bind to HIV Gag protein with moderate affinity. Moreover, after oxidation, the corresponding nanofibers could bind to Gag protein and trap HIV to realize virus control, thus providing a potential anti-HIV strategy.Owing to the energy crisis and environmental pollution, developing efficient and robust electrochemical energy storage (or conversion) systems is urgently needed but still very challenging. Next-generation electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices, mainly including fuel cells, metal-air batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and metal-ion batteries, have been viewed as promising candidates for future large-scale energy applications. All these systems are operated through one type of chemical conversion mechanism, which is currently limited by poor reaction kinetics. Single atom catalysts (SACs) perform maximum atom efficiency and well-defined active sites. They have been employed as electrode components to enhance the redox kinetics and adjust the interactions at the reaction interface, boosting device performance. In this Review, we briefly summarize the related background knowledge, motivation and working principle toward next-generation electrochemical energy storage (or conversion) devices, including fuel cells, Zn-air batteries, Al-air batteries, Li-air batteries, Li-CO2 batteries, Li-S batteries, and Na-S batteries. While pointing out the remaining challenges in each system, we clarify the importance of SACs to solve these development bottlenecks. Then, we further explore the working principle and current progress of SACs in various device systems. Finally, future opportunities and perspectives of SACs in next-generation electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices are discussed.This article presents a method of simulating molecular transport in capillary gas chromatography (GC) applicable to isothermal, temperature-programmed, and thermal gradient conditions. The approach accounts for parameter differences that can occur across an analyte band including pressure, mobile phase velocity, temperature, and retention factor. The model was validated experimentally using a GC column comprised of microchannels in a stainless-steel plate capable of isothermal, temperature-programmed, and thermal gradient GC separations. The parameters governing retention and dispersion in the transport model were fitted with 12 experimental isothermal separations. Eprosartan The transport model was validated with experimental data for three analytes using four temperature-programmed and three thermal gradient GC separations. The simulated peaks (elution time and dispersion) give reasonable predictions of observed separations. The magnitudes of the maximum error between simulated peak elution time and experiment were 2.6 and 4.2% for temperature-programmed and thermal gradient GC, respectively. The magnitudes of the maximum error between the simulated peak width and experiment were 15.4 and 5.8% for temperature-programmed and thermal gradient GC, respectively. These relatively low errors give confidence that the model reflects the behavior of the transport processes and provides meaningful predictions for GC separations. This transport model allows for an evaluation of analyte separation characteristics of the analyte band at any position along the length of the GC column in addition to peak characteristics at the column exit. The transport model enables investigation of column conditions that influence separation behavior and opens exploration of optimal column design and heating conditions.Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-one was identified through high-throughput whole-cell screening as a potential antituberculosis lead. The core of this scaffold has been identified several times previously and has been associated with various modes of action against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). We explored this scaffold through the synthesis of a focused library of analogues and identified key features of the pharmacophore while achieving substantial improvements in antitubercular activity. Our best hits had low cytotoxicity and showed promising activity against Mtb within macrophages. The mechanism of action of these compounds was not related to cell-wall biosynthesis, isoprene biosynthesis, or iron uptake as has been found for other compounds sharing this core structure. Resistance to these compounds was conferred by mutation of a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent hydroxylase (Rv1751) that promoted compound catabolism by hydroxylation from molecular oxygen. Our results highlight the risks of chemical clustering without establishing mechanistic similarity of chemically related growth inhibitors.Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are found throughout the universe. The ubiquity of these organic molecules means that they are of considerable interest in the context of cosmic dust, which typically travels at hypervelocities (>1 km s-1) within our solar system. However, studying such fast-moving micrometer-sized particles in laboratory-based experiments requires suitable synthetic mimics. Herein, we use ball-milling to produce microparticles of anthracene, which is the simplest member of the PAH family. Size control can be achieved by varying the milling time in the presence of a suitable anionic commercial polymeric dispersant (Morwet D-425). These anthracene microparticles are then coated with a thin overlayer of polypyrrole (PPy), which is an air-stable organic conducting polymer. The uncoated and PPy-coated anthracene microparticles are characterized in terms of their particle size, surface morphology, and chemical structure using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, laser diffraction, aqueous electrophoresis, FT-IR spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
