TEAP/cytochrome b domain contrast with the more malleable membrane proteins like ion channels or amino-acid transporters, which undergo large conformational changes to allow passage of relatively large metabolites. This notion of a rigid hourglass scaffold found an unexpected confirmation in the observation, revealed by structural comparisons, that an helical bundle identical to the NOX/STEAP/cytochrome b enzymes is featured by a de novo designed heme-binding protein, PS1. Apparently, nature and protein designers have independently converged to this fold as a versatile scaffold for heme-mediated reactions. The challenge is now to uncover the molecular mechanisms that implement the isozyme-specific regulation of the enzyme functions and develop much needed inhibitors and modulators for chemical biology and drug design studies.Development of nonprecious metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to reduce or eliminate Pt-based electrocatalysts is of great importance for fuel cells. Herein, Co/N-codoped carbon with carbon nanofiber (CNF) interconnected three-dimensional (3D) frameworks and graphitic carbon-encapsulated Co nanoparticles were designed and successfully prepared via the in situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF67) with biomass nano-microfibrillar cellulose (MFC) and then pyrolysis. The catalyst (Co/N-C@CNFs) exhibited outstanding long-term catalytic durability with 92.7% current retention after 70 000 s, which was much higher than that of commercial Pt/C in alkaline media. The support and connection of CNFs to Co/N-C frameworks and the protection of Co nanoparticles by graphite layers contribute to their impressive long-term catalytic stability. Meanwhile, Co/C-N@CNFs displayed excellent ORR catalytic performance (E0 = 0.952 V vs RHE, E1/2 = 0.852 V vs RHE, and n 4.2) in alkaline media. This strategy provides new insights into developing advanced nonprecious metal carbon-based catalysts for ORR.Organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs), with the capability of simultaneously functioning as a light-emitting stack and a thin-film transistor, have received considerable attention for potential applications in active-matrix flat-panel displays. Here, we demonstrate host-free deep-blue OLETs based on a novel small-molecule fluorescent emitter, 10,10'-bis(4-(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)-10H,10'H-9,9'-spirobi[acridine] (SPA-PBI), and a high-k dielectric, cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) polymer. The deep-blue OLETs based on 2,2',2″-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi) as an electron-transport layer showed an extraordinarily high hole mobility of 4.6 cm2 V-1 s-1, a brightness of 570 cd m-2 under a low gate and source-drain voltages of -24 V, and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.87% at 100 cd m-2. Besides, an electroluminescence peak was observed to be at 432 nm and the corresponding CIE coordinates were as deep as (0.16, 0.08). By replacing TPBi with TmPyPB as the electron-transport layer (ETL), the electron transport and hole blocking capability were greatly improved, which led to ∼60% enhancement of the EQE (1.39% at 100 cd m-2). These results suggest that using a highly twisted double-donor-acceptor emitter with rationally optimized charge injection could lead to highly efficient deep-blue OLETs.Detection of γ-rays is of vital significance in various areas such as high-energy physics, nuclear medicine, national security, and space exploration. However, many current spectrometry methods are based on ionization effects, which are limited to electron counting and related techniques such as ionization-induced luminescence. Herein, we report an alternative, quantifiable γ-ray chemosensor based on a secondary effect from this ionizing radiation, that is, it was discovered that poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are more sensitive to a γ-ray-induced acid generation process by surveying a series of commercially available polymers. Accordingly, a pH-sensitive fluorescent quinoline derivative is designed and embedded in PMMA or PVC films, which exhibits dramatic emission shift from blue (λem = 460-480 nm) to red (λem = 570-620 nm) upon exposure to γ-irradiation. Antineoplastic and Immunosuppressive Antibiotics inhibitor A linear response of ratiometric fluorescence intensity (Ired/Iblue) to γ-ray dosage in a wide range (80-4060 Gy) was established, which can be used as a practical visual dosimeter complementary to current techniques.Bacteriophages, or "phages" for short, are viruses that replicate in bacteria. The therapeutic and biotechnological potential of phages and their lytic enzymes is of interest for their ability to selectively destroy pathogenic bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains. Introduction of phage preparations into medicine, biotechnology, and food industry requires a thorough characterization of phage-host interaction on a molecular level. We employed Raman tweezers to analyze the phage-host interaction of Staphylococcus aureus strain FS159 with a virulent phage JK2 (=812K1/420) of the Myoviridae family and a temperate phage 80α of the Siphoviridae family. We analyzed the timeline of phage-induced molecular changes in infected host cells. We reliably detected the presence of replicating phages in bacterial cells within 5 min after infection. Our results lay the foundations for building a Raman-based diagnostic instrument capable of real-time, in vivo, in situ, nondestructive characterization of the phage-host relationship on the level of individual cells, which has the potential of importantly contributing to the development of phage therapy and enzybiotics.Controlling polymer film solubility is of fundamental and practical interest and is typically achieved by synthetically modifying the polymer structure to insert reactive groups. Here, we demonstrate that the addition of fullerenes or its derivatives (C60 or phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester, PCBM) to polymers, followed by ultraviolet (UV) illumination can change the film solubility. Contrary to most synthetic polymers, which dissolve in organic solvents but not in water, the fullerene-doped polymer films (such as polystyrene) can dissolve in water yet remain stable in organic solvents. This photoswitchable solubility effect is not observed in either film constituents individually and is derived from a synergy of photochemistries. First, polymer photooxidation generates macroradicals which cross-link with radical-scavenging PCBM, thereby contributing to the films' insolubility in organic solvents. Second, light exposure enhances polymer photooxidation in the presence of PCBM via the singlet oxygen pathway.
