[Journal of the American Chemical Society] Trapping Anions within Stacks of Tetra-Urea Macrocycles

Junhong Li et al.Link: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.4c14194Published: January 13, 2025AbstractDesigning molecular receptors that bind anions in water is a significant challenge, and an even greater difficulty lies in using these receptors to remove anions from water without resorting to the hazardous liquid–liquid extraction approach. We here demonstrate an effective and synthetically...

[Nature Communications] Late-stage (radio)fluorination of alkyl phosphonates via electrophilic activation

Kaiqiang Zhang et al.Link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-54208-yPublished: 28 November 2024AbstractConstructing organic fluorophosphines, vital drug skeletons, through the direct fluorination of readily available alkyl phosphonates has been impeded due to the intrinsic low electrophilicity of PV and the high bond energy of P═O bond. Here, alkyl phosphonates are electrophilically a...

【Nature Biotechnology】Trans-nuclease activity of Cas9 activated by DNA or RNA target binding

Jiyun Chen, Ying Chen, Linglong Huang, Xiaofeng Lin, Hong Chen, Wenwen Xiang & Liang LiuLink: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-024-02255-7 Published: 29 May 2024Abstract: The trans-cleavage activity of non-specific ssDNA or ssRNA is widely found in type V and type VI CRISPR-Cas systems, while not observed in type II CRISPR-Cas systems when guided with sgRNA. We show here that the type II ...

[Nature Communications] Temporal shifts in 24 notifiable infectious diseases in China before and during the COVID-19 pandemic

Kangguo Li et al.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-48201-8Published: May 7, 2024[Abstract]The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, along with the implementation of public health and social measures (PHSMs), have markedly reshaped infectious disease transmission dynamics. We analysed the impact of PHSMs on 24 notifiable infectious diseases (NIDs) in the Chinese mainland, using ...

[Nature Chemistry] A charge-neutral organic cage selectively binds strongly hydrated sulfate anions in water

Liuyang Jing, Evelyne Deplazes, Jack K. Clegg & Xin Wuhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41557-024-01457-5Published: 13 February 2024AbstractIn biological systems, enzymes and transport proteins can bind anions in aqueous media solely by forming hydrogen bonds with charge-neutral motifs. Reproducing this functionality in synthetic systems presents challenges and incurs high costs, particularly wh...
