A C-rich PNA hexanucleotide, p(C5T), has been shown to form an i-motif by nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry coupled with H/D exchange, to have thermal stability comparable with its DNA analogue, but to exist over a much narrower pH range.

Noncanonical base pairs play an important role in enabling the structural and functional complexity of RNA. Molecular recognition of such motifs is challenging because of their diversity, significant deviation from the Watson-Crick structures, and dynamic behavior, resulting in alternative conformations of similar stability. Triplex-forming peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have emerged as excellent ligands for the recognition of Watson-Crick base-paired double helical RNA.

Peptides are well known for forming nanoparticles, while DNA duplexes, triplexes and tetraplexes create rigid nanostructures. Accordingly, the covalent conjugation of peptides to DNA/RNA produces hybrid self-assembling features and may lead to interesting nano-assemblies distinct from those of their individual components. Herein, we report the preparation of a collagen mimetic peptide incorporating lysine in its backbone, with alkylamino side chains radially conjugated with G-rich PNA [collagen-(PNA-GGG)].

Metastasis suppressor 1 (MTSS1) has been reported to play important roles in suppressing cancer progression. In this study, we investigated the underlying mechanism that regulates MTSS1 expression. We showed that in breast cancer cells, lncRNA-SNHG15-induced cell invasion and proliferation was accompanied with the decreased expression of MTSS1 mRNA.

There is limited research on the relationship between membrane fouling and microbial metabolites in the nitrogen removal process coupled with membrane bioreactors (MBRs). In this study, we compared anoxic-oxic (AO) and partial nitritation-anammox (PNA), which were selected as representative heterotrophic and autotrophic biological nitrogen removal-coupled MBR processes for their fouling behavior. At the same nitrogen loading rate of 100 mg/L and mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration of 4000 mg/L, PNA-MBR exhibited more severe membrane fouling compared to AO-MBR, as evidenced by monitoring changes in transmembrane pressure (TMP).

This study introduces a straightforward synthetic approach for generating 7,8-dihydrobenzo[]phenanthridine analogs through visible-light-induced cyclization, showing promise as antitumor agents. Unexpectedly, the incorporation of 1,1'-diarylethylene as an additive significantly boosts yield. Through mechanistic investigations, we uncover its crucial role as a trap for the methyl radical formed after the N-O bond cleavage of acetyl oxime, promoting intramolecular cyclization of a nitrogen-centered imine radical.
