Summary: The study found that surfactant-associated anionic peptides have affinity for Zn(II) and Cu(II) ions and can bind in a net entropically-driven process. However, these metal ions do not enhance the membrane disrupting ability of these peptides or influence their antimicrobial activity against human pathogens.

Summary: The new fluorescent Zn(ii)-terpyridine complexes are effective chemosensors for catecholamine-based neurotransmitters and nucleosides in water, showing high affinity and selectivity, with a blue emission that is quenched by the addition of l-DOPA and other compounds. The proposed binding mode between the Zn(ii)-chemosensors and l-DOPA involves a two-point recognition mechanism, including reversible esterification and coordination, as supported by multiple spectroscopic techniques and crystal structures.

Summary: Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease characterized by dryness of the eyes and mucous membranes, with majority of patients exhibiting persistent systemic activation of the type I interferon (IFN) system. Dysregulated detection of endogenous nucleic acids (NAs) is widely implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic autoimmune diseases. Stimulation of endosomal Toll-like receptors by NA-containing immune complexes contributes to the systemic type I IFN activation.

Summary: This study investigates the possibility of a mechanism beyond post-translational modifications to regulate protein function. It shows that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can bind to the active-site copper of Cu/Zn-SOD, enhancing electrostatic forces and facilitating electron transfer. The physiological relevance of this H2S effect is demonstrated in in vitro and in vivo models where the cardioprotective effects of H2S depend on Cu/Zn-SOD.

Summary: In this study, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were functionalized with angiogenin (ANG) protein to create a novel nanomedicine for modulating angiogenic processes in cancer therapies. The effects of GO on angiogenesis were found to depend on the disturbance of ROS concentration, which is influenced by the total concentration and the number of oxidized carbon species. The nanotoxicity of GO@ANG was evaluated using cellular experiments on human prostatic cancer cells, and it was found that GO@ANG showed enhanced internalization and caused significant changes in cell cytoskeleton organization and mitochondrial staining compared to free ANG treatment.

Summary: In recent years, the study of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and its mutations has become crucial in understanding its interaction with human host receptors. Through in silico studies, it has been found that heterocyclic compounds with different chemical characteristics may interact with the spike protein and disrupt the interaction between ACE2 and the spike protein. Although further research is needed, this study suggests that these heterocyclic push-pull compounds could potentially inhibit spike protein-ACE2 binding.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
