Summary: This study investigates the photoinduced PCET dynamics of a biomimetic model system using various spectroscopic techniques and computational methods, providing insights into the complex dynamics and synergistic motions involved in the process. Specifically, the evolution of the 2DEV line shape, sensitive to the mixing of vibronic states, is interpreted through accurate computational modeling of the charge separated state, revealing a gradual change in electron density distribution associated with a dihedral twist occurring on a 120 fs time scale.

Summary: Oxidants are harmful compounds that can damage biological systems, but anti-oxidants can counterbalance their negative effects. Natural antioxidants, such as tocopherols and polyphenols, exist in plants, soil, and minerals, and they work in harmony with their bio-environment to protect themselves from degradation. Artificial nanoantioxidants, which mimic natural antioxidant systems, can be developed by modifying nanoparticles with antioxidants. The use of nanotechnology can overcome drawbacks encountered in vitro use of antioxidants and facilitate their production and application on a larger scale.

Summary: In this study, a Fe-P atom paired catalyst was constructed to accelerate the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) step and improve the catalytic activity of CO2-to-CO conversion. It was found that the P atom in the atom pair provided additional adsorption sites, accelerating water dissociation, boosting the hydrogenation of CO2, and enhancing the activity of CO2 reduction. This atom-pair catalytic strategy has the potential to overcome the inherent limitations of single-atom catalysts.

Summary: Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is an essential enzyme in DNA synthesis, with the active form of E. coli Ia RNR consisting of two subunits, alpha and beta, involved in a series of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions. Quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical simulations suggest thermodynamically favored forward radical transfer in the pre-turnover state and backward radical transfer in the post-turnover state between Y731 and Y730. The simulations also propose that E623 plays a key role in influencing the directionality of PCET and predict the impact of mutation of E623 on catalysis.

Summary: Polyoxometalates (POMs) can effectively catalyze the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) through multistep proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes. In this study, a combination of commercial indium electrodes with Keggin-type POMs (PVnMo(12-n)O40)(n+3)- (n = 1, 2, 3) achieved a Faradaic efficiency toward ethanol of 93.4% at -0.3V (vs. RHE). The PCET processes in POMs activated CO2 molecules and caused the oxidation of the electrode, resulting in the loss of active sites. The addition of POM electrolyte additives regulated the interface microenvironment and improved CO2RR performance.

Summary: Hybrid nanostructures of MoS2 monolayers and Au nanopillar arrays were fabricated. The MoS2 flakes transferred onto the Au-NPs were observed to be flat and nonstrained. The Raman and photoluminescence intensities of MoS2/Au-NP were significantly higher than those of MoS2 flakes on a flat Au thin film. Finite-difference time-domain calculations showed that the Au-NPs enhanced the absorption in the MoS2 flakes and enabled efficient collection of photogenerated electrons.

Summary: Electrolysis of water is a sustainable method to produce clean hydrogen, but it requires a high applied potential due to the pH-dependency of the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. By combining proton-coupled electron transfer and single-electron transfer processes, we have achieved hydrogen production from water at low cell potentials by pH adjustment.

Summary: Multiple charge separation was achieved through a proton-coupled electron transfer reaction in an organic cocrystal. The adjustable electronic energy levels of the donor and acceptor, controlled by thermal-induced proton migration, resulted in distinct optical absorption behaviors and color changes. The charge-separated states exhibited a longer lifetime due to the coplanarity and pi-pi interaction of the electron acceptors, and the enhanced absorption towards longer wavelengths allowed for near-infrared photothermal conversion for imaging and bacterial inhibition, controllable by the degree of proton migration.

Summary: Efficient collective variables are essential for the success of enhanced sampling methods, achieved by projecting data from different metastable basins into a low-dimensional manifold using a neural network. This approach allows discrimination between basins and often reduces the number of collective variables needed. In complex chemical processes, a single collective variable can efficiently represent the reaction free-energy profile.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the concentration of Ag ions in solution is the major factor driving the antibiofilm effect of nanosilver coatings, independent of Ag size and coating thickness. The antibiofilm effect predominantly stems from the released Ag ions rather than direct bacterial contact inhibition, especially for coatings featuring the smallest Ag particle sizes.

Summary: The study found that silver nanoparticles can inhibit the formation and eradication of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms, but the biofilm-forming bacteria may develop reduced sensitivity and even persister cells. Prolonged exposure to silver may lead to adaptation and potential cross-resistance to antibiotics. Furthermore, silver formulations cannot eradicate gentamicin-resistant P. aeruginosa biofilms, but they can inhibit the formation of the resistant strain, showing promise in controlling antibiotic-resistant bacteria in biofilms.
