Pyrene-labeled 2'-O-methyloligoribonucleotide (OMUpy) and 5'-Ru(II) complex labeled oligodeoxyribonucleotie (Ru-probe) were prepared as the fluorescence probes to detect acceptor sites of antisense molecules on native folded RNA under the physiological condition. OMUpy showed the remarkable increase of the fluorescence intensity (334-fold at 375 nm) only when hybridized with complementary oligoRNA. When OMUpy was applied to E. coli 16S-rRNA, the fluorescence intensities were increased in a sequence specific manner. The rotational correlation time of Ru-probe complementary to 16S-rRNA were largely dependent on the sequence of Ru-probe. These results suggest that the accessibility of the antisense molecules for RNA can be evaluated by those fluorescent probes.

A covalent organic framework (COF) has emerged as a promising photocatalyst for the removal of pharmaceutical and personal care product (PPCP) contaminants; however, high-performance COF photocatalysts are still scarce. In this study, three COF photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by the condensation of benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b':5,6-b'']trithiophene-2,5,8-tricarbaldehyde (BTT) with 4,4',4''-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)trianiline (TAPT), 1,3,5-Tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene (TAPB), and 4,4',4''-nitrilotris(benzenamine) (TAPA), namely, BTT-TAPA, BTT-TAPB, and BTT-TAPT, respectively. The surface areas of BTT-TAPA, BTT-TAPB, and BTT-TAPT were found to be 800.

Pollution caused by antibiotics, bacteria, and organic dyes presents global public health challenges, posing serious risks to human health. Consequently, new, efficient, fast, and simple photocatalytic systems are urgently required. To this end, 2,7-di(pyridin-4-yl)benzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetraone (NDI)-an electron acceptor-is introduced as a connecting column into a porphyrin-based metal-organic layer (2DTcpp) with excellent photocatalytic activity; this modification yields a three-dimensional pillar-layered metal-organic framework (MOF, 3DNDITcpp) with superior photocatalytic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capability.

Figure-eight macrocycles represent a fascinating class of π-conjugated units characterized by unique aesthetics and non-contact molecular crossing at the center. Despite progress in synthesis over the past century, research into inorganic, organic, and polymeric figure-eight materials remains in its infancy. Here we report the first examples of figure-eight covalent organic frameworks by condensing figure-eight knots to create extended porous figure-eight π architectures.

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) from the genus beta have been implicated in the development of cutaneous squamous cell cancer in and organ transplant patients. In contrast to alpha-high-risk HPV, which cause ano-genital and oropharyngeal cancers, beta-HPV replication is not well understood. The beta-HPV49 transcriptome was analyzed by RNA sequencing using stable keratinocyte cell lines maintaining high levels of extrachromosomally replicating E8- genomes, which can be established due to a lack of the viral E8^E2 repressor protein.

The interactions of nanoplastics (NPs) with natural organic matter (NOM) are influenced by their surface functional groups. In this study, the effects of representative functional groups on the interactions among polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-COOH and PS-NH), hydrophilic low molecular weight (LMW) substances (salicylic acid (SA), phthalic acid (PA), and gluconic acid (GA)), and a novel AlTi-based coagulant were investigated. We found that PS-NH (83.
