Summary: Understanding the mechanism of amyloid protein assembly is crucial for studying neurodegenerative diseases. EPR method can directly measure the amount of intermediates during the aggregation process without the need for separation, providing insights into the kinetics of intermediate species formation and conversion. The study on alpha-synuclein aggregation using EPR revealed a large population of short-lived primary oligomers formed directly from monomeric species.

Summary: This study investigated the fibril formation of a variant of ss 2-microglobulin and the role of clusterin in regulating this process. The presence of charged amino acids affected the fibril formation, indicating the involvement of electrostatic interactions. Clusterin interacted with the monomeric, prefibrillar and fibrillar forms of the variant through hydrophobic and electrostatic forces. It stabilized the fibrils and inhibited nucleation, potentially preventing amyloid proliferation and deposition in tissues.

Summary: This research investigated a novel strategy of simultaneously removing Ni2+ and Cu2+ by synthesizing amyloid fibrils under harsh conditions. In the in-situ scenario, the adsorption capacity of Ni2+ and Cu2+ increased, while acidic waste liquid generation was avoided. The adsorption behaviors of Ni2+ and Cu2+ followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm, where the functional groups of amide, hydroxyl, and carboxyl played crucial roles. Metal ions preferred binding to specific residues within the amyloid fibrils. This study has important implications for the removal of heavy metals in strongly acidic wastewater.

Summary: The gene cnm codes for the glycosylated collagen- and laminin-binding surface adhesin Cnm, found in approximately 20% of Streptococcus mutans clinical isolates, associated with systemic infections and increased caries risk. In silico analysis predicted that the N-terminal collagen-binding domain of Cnm has a propensity for amyloid aggregation, while the C-terminal domain was predicted to be disorganized. Thioflavin-T fluorescence and electron microscopy showed that Cnm forms amyloids and the amyloidogenic unit is its collagen-binding domain. Studies characterized the amylogenic properties of Cnm through various assays, indicating its role in recognition, initial binding to collagen-rich surfaces, and potential negative regulation through amyloid formation.

Summary: In this study, the electronic and optical properties of charge-neutral compounds with different halogen species and solvents were investigated using first-principles approach. It was found that the single-particle energies and optical gaps are dependent on both halogen species and solvent molecules, affecting the energy and spatial distribution of the molecular orbitals, thereby impacting the excitations. Additionally, the study revealed that dark states at the absorption onset are promoted by electron-withdrawing solvents, showing a correlation between oscillator strength and HOMO -> LUMO contribution to the excitations.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease, a progressive degenerative condition, mainly affects cognition and memory. Recent studies have identified distinct clinical and neuropathological phenotypes in AD. It has been found that structural variation in A beta fibrillar aggregates correlates with distinct disease phenotypes. Moreover, environmental surroundings, including other biomolecules such as proteins and lipids, have been shown to interact and modulate A beta aggregation. Model membranes containing ganglioside (GM1) clusters promote A beta fibrillogenesis. This study reveals the modulatory effect of non-micellar GM1 on A beta(42) amyloid fibril formation.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein plays a crucial role in virus attachment and fusion with cells. The HR1 and HR2 regions of the spike protein are potential therapeutic targets for COVID-19. A study designed chimeric proteins that mimic stable HR1 helical trimers and strongly bind to HR2, showing broad inhibitory activity against different virus strains. Antibody responses against the HR1 mimetic proteins were found in sera from COVID-19 convalescent donors, but not in sera from uninfected donors.

Summary: Hollow MoS2 cubes and spheres were successfully synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method with the hard template method. The hollow MoS2 cubes exhibited higher specific capacitance and energy density compared to the hollow MoS2 spheres. The symmetrical supercapacitors assembled with these hollow structures showed good performance and high capacity retention after multiple cycles. These findings suggest that controlling the pore structure and surface characteristics of MoS2 is crucial for enhancing its electrochemical properties.

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.

Increasing the manganese content leads to a decrease in stability. The behavior of iron and manganese in the oxide shows distinct differences, which can be attributed to the difference in the enthalpy of oxidation reactions. Additionally, the change in the La/Sr ratio affects the concentration of iron and manganese ions.
