The construction of protein assemblies has great potential for biosensors, enzyme catalysis, and biomedical applications. In designing protein assemblies, a critical process is to create protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks at defined sites of a target protein. Although a few methods are available for this purpose, most of them are dependent on existing PPIs of natural proteins to some extent. In this report, a metal-chelating amino acid, 2,2'-bipyridylalanine (BPA), was genetically introduced into defined sites of a monomeric protein and used to form protein oligomers. Depending on the number of BPAs introduced into the protein and the species of metal ions (Ni2+ and Cu2+), dimers or oligomers with different oligomerization patterns were formed by complexation with a metal ion. Oligomer sizes could also be controlled by incorporating two BPAs at different locations with varied angles to the center of the protein. When three BPAs were introduced, the monomeric protein formed a large complex with Ni2+. In addition, when Cu2+ was used for complex formation with the protein containing two BPAs, a linear complex was formed. The method proposed in this report is technically simple and generally applicable to various proteins with interesting functions. Therefore, this method would be useful for the design and construction of functional protein assemblies.The 3,5-dithiooctyl dithienothiophene based small molecular semiconductor DDTT-DSDTT (1), end functionalized with fused dithienothiophene (DTT) units, was synthesized and characterized for organic field effect transistors (OFET). The thermal, optical, electrochemical, and computed electronic structural properties of 1 were investigated and contrasted. The single crystal structure of 1 reveals the presence of intramolecular locks between S(alkyl)···S(thiophene), with a very short S-S distance of 3.10 Å, and a planar core. When measured in an OFET device compound 1 exhibits a hole mobility of 3.19 cm2 V-1 s-1, when the semiconductor layer is processed by a solution-shearing deposition method and using environmentally acceptable anisole as the solvent. This is the highest value reported to date for an all-thiophene based molecular semiconductor. In addition, solution-processed small molecule/insulating polymer (1/PαMS) blend films and devices were investigated. Morphological analysis reveals a nanoscopic vertical phase separation with the PαMS layer preferentially contacting the dielectric and 1 located on top of the stack. The OFET based on the blend comprising 50% weight of 1 exhibits a hole mobility of 2.44 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a very smaller threshold voltage shift under gate bias stress.In modern society, there is a constant need for developing reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective antibacterial materials. Here, we investigate the preparation of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-lysozyme composite films via the well-established method of evaporation-induced self-assembly. We consider the effects of lysozyme concentration and aggregation state (native lysozyme, lysozyme amyloid fibers, and sonicated lysozyme amyloid fibers) on suspension aggregation and film-forming ability. Although at higher lysozyme loading levels (ca. 10 wt %), composite films lost their characteristic chiral nematic structuring, these films demonstrated improved mechanical properties and antibacterial activity with respect to CNC-only films, regardless of lysozyme aggregation state. DNQX We anticipate that the results presented herein could also contribute to the preparation of other CNC-protein-based materials, including films, hydrogels, and aerogels, with improved mechanical performance and antibacterial activity.Characterization of cell physical biomarkers is vital to understand cell properties and applicable for disease diagnostics. Current methods used to analyze physical phenotypes involve external forces to deform the cells. Alternatively, internal tension forces via osmotic swelling can also deform the cells. However, an established assumption contends that the forces generated during hypotonic swelling concentrated on the plasma membrane are incapable of assessing the physical properties of nucleated cells. Here, we utilized an osmotic swelling approach to characterize different types of nucleated cells. Using a microfluidic device for cell trapping arrays with truncated hanging micropillars (CellHangars), we isolated single cells and evaluated the swelling dynamics during the hypotonic challenge at 1 s time resolution. We demonstrated that cells with different mechanical phenotypes showed unique swelling dynamics signature. Different types of cells can be classified with an accuracy of up to ∼99%. We also showed that swelling dynamics can detect cellular mechanical property changes due to cytoskeleton disruption. Considering its simplicity, swelling dynamics offers an invaluable label-free physical biomarker for cells with potential applications in both biological studies and clinical practice.Ligand protected atom-precise gold-based catalysts have been utilized in many essential chemical processes, but their mechanism and the fate of the catalyst during reaction are still unrevealed. Atom-precise cluster without ligands are thus highly desirable to maximize atom efficiency, but making these in solution phase is challenging. In this scenario, catalysts with dispersion on oxide support are highly desirable to understand the role of metal core during catalytic reaction. Here, we report the synthesis of Au11(PPh3)7I3 cluster that consists of an incomplete icosahedron core. During its impregnation process on CeO2 support, all of the ligands were removed from the kernel and the Au11 kernel fits into the defects of ceria (embedded onto the oxygen vacancy of ceria (111) plane). This Au11@CeO2 has high atom efficiency and catalytic activity for Ullmann-type C-C homocoupling reactions for electron rich substrates. Density functional theory calculations showed that hexagonal arrangements of Au11 kernel on (111) plane of CeO2 is the most stable one.
