The present study demonstrates the relationship between conventional and quantum mechanical (QM) NMR spectroscopic analyses, shown here to assist in building a convincingly orthogonal platform for the solution and documentation of demanding structures. Kaempferol-3-O-robinoside-7-O-glucoside, a bisdesmosidic flavonol triglycoside and botanical marker for the aerial parts of Withania somnifera, served as an exemplary case. As demonstrated, QM-based 1H iterative full spin analysis (HiFSA) advances the understanding of both individual nuclear resonance spin patterns and the entire 1H NMR spectrum of a molecule and establishes structurally determinant, numerical HiFSA profiles. The combination of HiFSA with regular 1D 1H NMR spectra allows for simplified yet specific identification tests via comparison of high-quality experimental with QM-calculated spectra. HiFSA accounts for all features encountered in 1H NMR spectra nonlinear high-order effects, complex multiplets, and their usually overlapped signals. As HiFSA replicates spectrum patterns from field-independent parameters with high accuracy, this methodology can be ported to low-field NMR instruments (40-100 MHz). With its reliance on experimental NMR evidence, the QM approach builds up confidence in structural characterization and potentially reduces identity analyses to simple 1D 1H NMR experiments. This approach may lead to efficient implementation of conclusive identification tests in pharmacopeial and regulatory analyses from simple organics to complex natural products.Proteolysis-targeting chimaeras (PROTACs) are molecules that combine a target-binding warhead with an E3 ligase-recruiting moiety; by drawing the target protein into a ternary complex with the E3 ligase, PROTACs induce target protein degradation. While PROTACs hold exciting potential as chemical probes and as therapeutic agents, development of a PROTAC typically requires synthesis of numerous analogs to thoroughly explore variations on the chemical linker; without extensive trial and error, it is unclear how to link the two protein-recruiting moieties to promote formation of a productive ternary complex. Here, we describe a structure-based computational method for evaluating the suitability of a given linker for ternary complex formation. Our method uses Rosetta to dock the protein components and then builds the PROTAC from its component fragments into each binding mode; complete models of the ternary complex are then refined. We apply this approach to retrospectively evaluate multiple PROTACs from the literature, spanning diverse target proteins. We find that modeling ternary complex formation is sufficient to explain both activity and selectivity reported for these PROTACs, implying that other cellular factors are not key determinants of activity in these cases. We further find that interpreting PROTAC activity is best approached using an ensemble of structures of the ternary complex rather than a single static conformation and that members of a structurally conserved protein family can be recruited by the same PROTAC through vastly different binding modes. To encourage adoption of these methods and promote further analyses, we disseminate both the computational methods and the models of ternary complexes.Rashba spin-orbit coupling enables electric control of spin states, promising enormous advances from conventional charge-based computing. Until now, a general scheme or a descriptor to find an optimal system with isolated spin states with large tunable splitting is still lacking. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we explore the microscopic physicochemical mechanism responsible for the Rashba effect in 2D van der Waals heterobilayers. We find that the difference in the Born effective charge of atoms at the interface can be used as a single-layer descriptor to predict heteropairs with large Rashba splitting, thus reducing the scaling factor in materials search. Moreover, we discover that for most 2D materials, the routinely used Rashba parameter αR is not a good gauge of the effect's strength. From our general scheme, MoTe2|Tl2O and MoTe2|PtS2, with spin splitting above 120 meV, Rashba energy ER = 94 meV, and wavenumber difference 2k0 = 0.36 Å-1 ("effective" αR > 1 eVÅ), emerge as the best candidates for spin transistors at room temperature.Morphology genetic biomedical materials (MGBMs), referring to fabricating materials by learning from the genetic morphologies and strategies of natural species, hold great potential for biomedical applications. Inspired by the cargo-carrying-bacterial therapy (microbots) for cancer treatment, a MGBM (artificial microbots, AMBs) was constructed. Cyclosporine A cell line Rather than the inherent bacterial properties (cancerous chemotaxis, tumor invasion, cytotoxicity), AMBs also possessed ingenious nitric oxide (NO) generation strategy. Mimicking the bacterial construction, the hyaluronic acid (HA) polysaccharide was induced as a coating capsule of AMBs to achieve long circulation in blood and specific tissue preference (tumor tropism). Covered under the capsule-like polysaccharide was the combinatorial agent, the self-assembly constructed by the amphiphilic dendrons with abundant l-arginine residues peripherally (as endogenous NO donor) and hydrophobic chemotherapeutic drugs at the core stacking on the surface of SWNTs (the photothermal agent) for a robust chemo-photothermal therapy (chemo-PTT) and the elicited immune therapy. Subsequently, the classic inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) pathway aroused by immune response was revolutionarily utilized to oxidize the l-arginine substrates for NO production, the process for which could also be promoted by the high reactive oxygen species level generated by chemo-PTT. The NO generated by AMBs was intended to regulate vasodilation and cause a dramatic invasion (as the microbots) to disperse the therapeutic agents throughout the solid tumor for a much more enhanced curative effect, which we defined as "self-propulsion". The self-propelled AMBs exhibiting impressive primary tumor ablation, as well as the distant metastasis regression to conquer the metastatic triple negative breast cancer, provided pioneering potential therapeutic opportunities, and enlightened broad prospects in biomedical application.
