First we clarify the distinction between oligomers and fibrils and then we use the formalism of reaction networks to develop a general definition for onpathway oligomers that yields meaningful classifications in the context of amyloid formation find more By applying these concepts to Monte Carlo simulations of a minimal aggregating system and by revisiting several previous studies of amyloid oligomers in light of our new framework we demonstrate how to perform these classifications in practice For each oligomeric species we obtain the degree to which it is onpathway highlighting the most effective pharmaceutical targets for the inhibition of amyloid fibril formationIn designing multifunctional materials for potential switches that can be used as memory devices the highspin HS to lowspin LS crossover SCO onedimensional polymer FeIIL44bpy n was constructed from a designed redoxactive tetrathiafulvalene TTF functionalized Schiffbase and the ditopic linker 44bipyridine bpy It exhibits an 8 K hysteretic SCO centred at T12 325 K which is coupled to changes in its dielectric constant The crystal structures above and below the transition temperature reveal similar parallel linear FebpyFebpy chains displaying expansion of the FeII octahedron in the HS state Density functional theory DFT calculations reveal a concerted electronic charge and spin change represented by the Mülliken charge of the Fe and the magnitude and direction of the dipole moment which substantiate the experimental observationsThe bottomup assembly of nanoelectronic devices from molecular building blocks is a target of widespread interest Herein we demonstrate an in situ seeded growth approach to produce a nanowirebased electrical device This exploits the chemisorption of block terpolymerbased seed fibres with a thiophenefunctionalised corona onto metal electrodes as the initial step We then use these surfacebound seeds to initiate the growth of welldefined onedimensional fibrelike micelles via the seeded growth method known as Living crystallisationdriven selfassembly and demonstrate that they are capable of spanning an interelectrode gap Finally a chemical oxidation step was used to transform the nanofibres into nanowires to generate a twoterminal device This seeded growth approach of growing welldefined circuit elements provides a useful new design tool for bottomup device fabricationThe first examples of heterogeneous Fecatalysed cyclopropanation reactions are presented Pyrolysis of in situgenerated ironphenanthroline complexes in the presence of a carbonaceous material leads to specific supported nanosized iron particles which are effective catalysts for carbene transfer reactions Using olefins as substrates cyclopropanes are obtained in high yields and moderate diastereoselectivities The developed protocol is scalable and the activity of the recycled catalyst after deactivation can be effectively restored using an oxidative reactivation protocol under mild conditionsLighting up the relevant lesion boundaries during operations is vital for guiding the effective resection of hepatopathic tissue We envisioned that molecularlogic gates which are known for their excellent digital correlation between input and output signals could be used to facilitate differential visualization of lesion boundaries Herein a series of flexible molecules naphthalene imideindole derivatives IAN were prepared and evaluated as molecularlogic gates The input and output signals of the IAN derivatives were successfully used to highlight different hepatopathic regions in order to facilitate boundary differentiation The IAN derivatives produce different signals due to collaborative changes in the conformation and structure The hepatopathyrelated enzymes COX2 and NAT were used to induce conformational and structural changes in IAN derivatives Based on these enzyme induced synergistic effects IAN can sensitively emit different coloured signals such as green cyan and blue output signals as a function of the different input signals ie the different activity of COX2 and NAT in solution and living cells Significantly the IAN derivatives were successfully used to distinguish the boundaries of hepatopathic lesions in tissues after spraying with IAN derivatives mild cirrhosis severe cirrhosis in addition to early and late hepatocellular carcinoma under a hand held lamp at 365 nm by naked eyeThe macrocyclization of recombinant polypeptides by means of genetically encodable noncanonical amino acids has recently provided an attractive strategy for the screening and discovery of macrocyclic peptide inhibitors of proteinprotein interactions Here we report the development of an expanded suite of electrophilic unnatural amino acids eUAAs useful for directing the biosynthesis of genetically encoded thioetherbridged macrocyclic peptides in bacterial cells E coli These reagents are shown to provide efficient access to a broad range of macrocyclic peptide scaffolds spanning from 2 to 20 amino acid residues with the different eUAAs offering complementary reactivity profiles toward mediating short vs longrange macrocyclizations Swapping of the eUAA cyclization module in a cyclopeptide inhibitor of streptavidin and Keap1 led to compounds with markedly distinct binding affinity toward the respective target proteins highlighting the effectiveness of this strategy toward tuning the structural and functional properties of bioactive macrocyclic peptides The peptide cyclization strategies reported here expand opportunities for the combinatorial biosynthesis of natural productlike peptide macrocycles in bacterial cells or in combination with display platforms toward the discovery of selective agents capable of targeting proteins and proteinmediated interactionsAttaining rational modulation of thermodynamic and kinetic redox parameters of metalloproteins is a key milestone towards the redesign of proteins with new or improved redox functions Here we report that implantation of ligand loops from natural T1 proteins into the scaffold of a CuA protein leads to a series of distorted T1like sites that allow for independent modulation of reduction potentials E and electron transfer reorganization energies λ On the one hand E values could be finetuned over 120 mV without affecting λ On the other λ values could be modulated by more than a factor of two while affecting E only by a few millivolts These results are in sharp contrast to previous studies that used T1 cupredoxin folds thus highlighting the importance of the protein scaffold in determining such parameters
