Summary: Due to the unsatisfactory response of most types of cancer to current treatment methods, research on producing drugs with less toxicity and greater efficiency is ongoing. This study presents a green procedure for producing Ag nanoparticles supported on magnetic nanoparticles, and evaluates their biological and chemical performance. The synthesized nanocomposite showed cytotoxic and anti-cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma potentials, as well as high antioxidant activity. Clinical trials are needed to further explore the application of this nanocomposite in treating cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Summary: The combination of polyoxometalates (POMs) and tin-based porphyrin has opened up new directions in the study of biological activities. A new sandwich type covalently attached porphyrin SnTPP-Di-Tris and Anderson POM-porphyrin polymeric hybrid PolySnP@POM were synthesized and characterized. These compounds were evaluated for drug delivery, DNA binding, protein binding, and antibacterial studies. PolySnP@POM showed higher drug loading efficiency, stronger DNA binding affinity, and better antibacterial activity compared to SnTPP-Di-Tris.

Summary: This study successfully synthesized the alpha-phase of silver molybdate and investigated the relationship between synthesis conditions and optical-textural properties. The results showed that synthesis conditions significantly influenced the formation of the alpha-phase and its optical properties. Increasing pH had a negative effect on textural properties and crystalline phase distribution, while the interaction between PVP concentration and pH improved optical properties.

Summary: N-terminal acetylation, catalyzed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs), occurs on over 80% of human proteins. NatC is a major NAT that contains NAA30 catalytic subunit and uniquely has two auxiliary subunits, NAA35 and NAA38. The cryo-EM structures of human NatC complexes with and without NAA38, along with biochemical studies, reveal that NAA38 increases thermostability and broadens substrate-specificity of NatC by ordering an N-terminal segment of NAA35 and re-orienting an NAA30 N-terminal peptide binding loop for optimal catalysis. Differences in engagement with a stabilizing inositol hexaphosphate molecule between human and yeast NatC are also noted. These findings provide new insights into the function and evolution of the NatC complex.

Summary: A novel uranyl-containing polytungstate, U-3, was synthesized using a Keggin-type precursor and UO2(OAc)2, and characterized by X-ray diffraction and various techniques. U-3 exhibited a quadrahedron-like structure with a central {K-4(UO2)(3)(H2O)(3)} cluster surrounded by {α-SiW9} and {γ-SiW10} building units. Furthermore, U-3 showed good catalytic activity in the dehydration condensation of aldehydes, acetoacetates, and urea to synthesize dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones with solvent-free conditions, water as the sole by-product, available starting materials, good compatibility, and operational simplicity.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
