Engineered light-sensitive molecules offer a sophisticated toolkit for the manipulation of biological systems with both spatial and temporal precision. Notably, artificial "caged" compounds can activate specific receptors solely in response to light exposure. However, the uncaging process can lead to the formation of potentially harmful byproducts.

The hydrolysis of proteins by proteases (proteolysis) plays a significant role in biology and food science. Despite the importance of proteolysis, a universal quantitative model of this phenomenon has not yet been created. This review considers approaches to modeling proteolysis in a batch reactor that take into account differences in the hydrolysis of the individual peptide bonds, as well as the limited accessibility (masking) for the enzymes of some hydrolysis sites in the protein substrate.

Local therapeutic action and targeted drug release are promising approaches compared to traditional systemic drug administration. This is especially relevant for nitric oxide (NO), as its effects change dramatically depending on concentration and cellular context. Materials capable of releasing NO in deep tissues in a controlled manner might open new therapeutic opportunities.

Control of biological activity with light is a fascinating idea. "Caged" compounds, molecules modified with photolabile protecting group, are one of the instruments for this purpose. Adrenergic receptors are essential regulators of neuronal, endocrine, cardiovascular, vegetative, and metabolic functions.

Using WKB analysis, the paper addresses a conjecture of Shapiro and Tater on the similarity between two sets of points in the complex plane; on one side is the set the values of for which the spectrum of the quartic anharmonic oscillator in the complex plane with certain boundary conditions, has repeated eigenvalues. On the other side is the set of zeroes of the Vorob'ev-Yablonskii polynomials, i.e.
