Antibiotic resistance is a global health concern that is rapidly spreading among human and animal pathogens. Developing novel antibiotics is one of the most significant approaches to surmount antibiotic resistance. Given the difficult in identifying novel targets, cryptic binding sites provide new pockets for compounds design to combat antibiotic resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • Low temperatures and high humidity during winter significantly hinder chlorophyll biosynthesis in cucumber seedlings, impacting plant growth adversely.
  • Individual and combined stress conditions markedly reduce chlorophyll and carotenoid levels, with the most severe effects seen under simultaneous low temperature and high humidity.
  • The study reveals that the combination of these stressors alters enzyme activities and gene expression related to chlorophyll production, leading to oxidative damage in the plants.

In order to solve the food safety problem better, it is very important to develop a rapid and sensitive technology for detecting food contamination residues. Organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) biosensor rely on the photovoltage generated by a semiconductor upon excitation by light to regulate the conductivity of the polymer channels and realize biosensor analysis under zero gate bias. This technology integrates the excellent characteristics of photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis and the high sensitivity and inherent amplification ability of organic electrochemical transistor (OECT).
