A Coumarin Triflate Reagent Enables One‐Step Synthesis of Photo‐Caged Lipid Metabolites for Studying Cell Signaling

Photorelease of caged compounds is among the most powerful experimental approaches for studying cellular functions on fast timescales. However, its full potential has yet to be exploited, as the number of caged small molecules available for cell biological ...

Role of Activin-A signaling in melanoma

Olivier Andreas Dubey

Cutaneous melanomas arise from transformed skin melanocytes. While accounting for only 1% of skin malignancies, melanoma is responsible for the majority of skin cancer-related deaths. Owing to lifestyle changes and increased exposure to sunlight, melanoma ...

Virus lasers for biological detection

Gabriel Aeppli

The selective amplification of DNA in the polymerase chain reaction is used to exponentially increase the signal in molecular diagnostics for nucleic acids, but there are no analogous techniques for signal enhancement in clinical tests for proteins or cell ...

Metal Substitution as the Method of Modifying Electronic Structure of Metal–Organic Frameworks

Berend Smit, Fatmah Ebrahim, Christopher Patrick Ireland, Olga Syzgantseva

Targeted modification of electronic structure is an important step in the optimization of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for photovoltaic, sensing, and photocatalytic applications. The key parameters to be controlled include the band gap, the absolute ene ...

Polymer brush interfaces for protein biosensing prepared by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization

Harm-Anton Klok, Mark Billing, Michael Badoux

Thin polymer films that are able to bind proteins are of great relevance for a wide variety of biosensor and biochip applications. Some of these applications require films that have high protein binding capacities while others call for surfaces that allow ...

Flagellar microtubule doublet assembly in vitro reveals a regulatory role of tubulin C-terminal tails

Davide Demurtas, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel

Microtubule doublets (MTDs), consisting of an incomplete B-microtubule at the surface of a complete A-microtubule, provide a structural scaffold mediating intraflagellar transport and ciliary beating. Despite the fundamental role of MTDs, the molecular mec ...

Nickel-Catalyzed Enantioselective Pyridone C-H Functionalizations Enabled by a Bulky N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligand

Nicolai Cramer, Johannes Diesel, Anastasiia Finogenova

Annulated pyridones are an importantscaffold found in many biologically active compounds. ANi(0)-catalyzed C−H functionalization of 2- and 4-pyridones is disclosed, providing access to annulatedpyridones via enantioselective intramolecular olefin hydro-ary ...

Reversible disassembly of metallasupramolecular structures mediated by a metastable-state photoacid

Kay Severin, Suzanne Maria Jansze, Giacomo Cecot

The addition of a metastable-state photoacid to solutions containing metal–ligand assemblies renders the systems light responsive. Upon irradiation, proton transfer from the photoacid to the ligand is observed, resulting in disassembly of the metallasupram ...

Exploring the role of post-translational modifications in regulating α-synuclein interactions by studying the effects of phosphorylation on nanobody binding

Hilal Lashuel, Juan Kiwi, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Anass Chiki, Farah El Turk

Intracellular deposits of α-synuclein in the form of Lewy bodies are major hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and a range of related neurodegenerative disorders. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of α-synuclein are increasingly thought to be major ...

Aptamer Recognition of Multiplexed Small-Molecule-Functionalized Substrates

Nako Nakatsuka

Aptamers are chemically synthesized oligonucleotides or peptides with molecular recognition capabilities. We investigated recognition of substrate-tethered small-molecule targets, using neurotransmitters as examples, and fluorescently labeled DNA aptamers. ...
