A family of phosphonate-bearing chelators was synthesized to study their potential in metal-based (radio)pharmaceuticals. Three ligands (H6phospa, H6dipedpa, H6eppy; structures illustrated in manuscript) were fully characterized, including X-ray crystallographic structures of H6phospa and H6dipedpa. NMR spectroscopy techniques were used to confirm the complexation of each ligand with selected trivalent metal ions. HADA chemical molecular weight These methods were particularly useful in discerning structural information for Sc3+ and La3+ complexes. Solution studies were conducted to evaluate the complex stability of 15 metal complexes. As a general trend, H6phospa was noted to form the most stable complexes, and H6eppy associated with the least stable complexes. Moreover, In3+ complexes were determined to be the most stable, and complexes with La3+ were the least stable, across all metals. Density functional theory (DFT) was employed to calculate structures of H6phospa and H6dipedpa complexes with La3+ and Sc3+. A comparison of experimental 1H NMR spectra with calculated 1H NMR spectra using DFT-optimized structures was used as a method of structure validation. It was noted that theoretical NMR spectra were very sensitive to a number of variables, such as ligand configuration, protonation state, and the number/orientation of explicit water molecules. In general, the inclusion of an explicit second shell of water molecules qualitatively improved the agreement between theoretical and experimental NMR spectra versus a polarizable continuum solvent model alone. Formation constants were also calculated from DFT results using potential-energy optimized structures. Strong dependence of molecular free energies on explicit water molecule number, water molecule configuration, and protonation state was observed, highlighting the need for dynamic data in accurate first-principles calculations of metal-ligand stability constants.Viral and parasitic pathogens rely critically on cysteine proteases for host invasion, replication, and infectivity. Their inhibition by synthetic inhibitors, such as vinyl sulfone compounds, has emerged as a promising treatment strategy. However, the individual reaction steps of protease inhibition are not fully understood. Using the trypanosomal cysteine protease rhodesain as a medically relevant target, we design photoinduced electron transfer (PET) fluorescence probes to detect kinetics of binding of reversible and irreversible vinyl sulfones directly in solution. Intriguingly, the irreversible inhibitor, apart from its unlimited residence time in the enzyme, reacts 5 times faster than the reversible one. Results show that the reactivity of the warhead, and not binding of the peptidic recognition unit, limits the rate constant of protease inhibition. The use of a reversible inhibitor decreases the risk of off-target side effects not only by allowing its release from an off-target but also by reducing the rate constant of binding.l-Theanine, as an active component of the leaves of the tea plant, possesses many health benefits and broad applications. Chemical synthesis of l-theanine is possible; however, this method generates chiral compounds and needs further isolation of the pure l-isoform. Heterologous biosynthesis is an alternative strategy, but one main limitation is the toxicity of the substrate ethylamine on microbial host cells. In this study, we introduced a cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) system for l-theanine production. The CFPS expressed l-theanine synthetase 2 from Camellia sinensis (CsTS2) could produce l-theanine at a concentration of 11.31 μM after 32 h of the synthesis reaction. In addition, three isozymes from microorganisms were expressed in CFPS for l-theanine biosynthesis. The γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase from Escherichia coli could produce l-theanine at the highest concentration of 302.96 μM after 24 h of reaction. Furthermore, CFPS was used to validate a hypothetical two-step l-theanine biosynthetic pathway consisting of the l-alanine decarboxylase from C. sinensis (CsAD) and multiple l-theanine synthases. Among them, the combination of CsAD and the l-glutamine synthetase from Pseudomonas taetrolens (PtGS) could synthesize l-theanine at the highest concentration of 13.42 μM. Then, we constructed an engineered E. coli strain overexpressed CsAD and PtGS to further confirm the l-theanine biosynthesis ability in living cells. This engineered E. coli strain could convert l-alanine and l-glutamate in the medium to l-theanine at a concentration of 3.82 mM after 72 h of fermentation. Taken together, these results demonstrated that the CFPS system can be used to produce the l-theanine through the two-step l-theanine biosynthesis pathway, indicating the potential application of CFPS for the biosynthesis of other active compounds.The cost-efficient and plentiful Na and K resources motivate the research on ideal electrodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Here, MoSe2 nanosheets perpendicularly anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are studied as an electrode for SIBs and PIBs. Not only does the graphene network serves as a nucleation substrate for suppressing the agglomeration of MoSe2 nanosheets to eliminate the electrode fracture but also facilitates the electrochemical kinetics process and provides a buffer zone to tolerate the large strain. An expanded interplanar spacing of 7.9 Å is conducive to fast alkaline ion diffusion, and the formed chemical bondings (C-Mo and C-O-Mo) promote the structure integrity and the charge transfer kinetics. Consequently, MoSe2@5%rGO exhibits a reversible specific capacity of 458.3 mAh·g-1 at 100 mA·g-1, great cyclability with a retention of 383.6 mAh·g-1 over 50 cycles, and excellent rate capability (251.3 mAh·g-1 at 5 A·g-1) for SIBs. For PIBs, a high first specific capacity of 365.5 mAh·g-1 at 100 mA·g-1 with a low capacity fading of 51.5 mAh·g-1 upon 50 cycles and satisfactory rate property are acquired for MoSe2@10%rGO composite. Ex situ measurements validate that the discharge products are Na2Se for SIBs and K5Se3 for PIBs, and robust chemical bonds boost the structure stability for Na- and K-ion storage. The full batteries are successfully fabricated to verify the practical feasibility of MoSe2@5%rGO composite.
