Slow mass transfer processes between inert emerging contaminants (ECs) and dissolved oxygen (DO) limit natural water self-purification; thus, excessive energy consumption is necessary to achieve ECs removal, which has become a longstanding global challenge. Here, we propose an innovative water self-purification expansion strategy by constructing asymmetric surfaces that could modulate trace HO as trigger rather than oxidant to bridge a channel between inert ECs and natural dissolved oxygen, achieved through a dual-reaction-center (DRC) catalyst consisting of Cu/Co lattice-substituted ZnO nanorods (CCZO-NRs). During water purification, the bond lengths of emerging contaminants (ECs) adsorbed on the asymmetric surface were stretched, and this stretching was further enhanced by HO mediation, resulting in a significant reduction of bond-breaking energy barriers.

The self-assembled ferritin protein nanocage plays a pivotal role during oxidative stress, iron metabolism, and host-pathogen interaction by executing rapid iron uptake, oxidation and its safe-storage. Self-assembly creates a nanocompartment and various pores/channels for the uptake of charged substrates (Fe) and develops a concentration gradient across the protein shell. This phenomenon fuels rapid ferroxidase activity by an upsurge in the substrate concentration at the catalytic sites.

Enzyme catalytic activities are critical biomarkers of tissue states under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. However, the direct measurement and imaging of enzyme activity remains extremely challenging. We report the synthesis and characterization of the first stable triarylmethyl (TAM) radical substrate of alkaline phosphatase (TAM-ALPs).

Peroxidase DNAzymes are single-stranded, stable G-quadruplexes structures that exhibit catalytic activity with cofactor hemin. This class of DNAzymes offers several advantages over traditional protein and RNA catalysts, including thermal stability, resistance to hydrolysis, and easy of synthesis in the laboratory. However, their use in medicine, biology, and chemistry is limited due to their low catalytic rates.

Intermolecular oxidative N-N bond formation reactions are quite challenging and are largely uncharted. N-N linked dimeric indolosesquiterpene alkaloids represent an underexplored class of natural products, and strategies for direct dehydrogenative N-N bond formation are limited. Here, we have reported that a late-stage visible-light photoredox catalysis facilitates N-N bond formation, leading to the total syntheses of atropo-diastereomers dixiamycins A () and B ().
