Bimetallic complexes based on the binucleating ligand N,N,N',N'-tetrakis[(2-benzimidazolyl)methyl]-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane (1L) and its new toluoyl ester derivative (2L) catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphorus triesters at ambient temperature with activities rivalling the fastest known systems.

Background: The widespread and evolution of RNA viruses, such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), highlights the importance of fast identification of virus subtypes, particularly in non-laboratory settings. Rapid and inexpensive at-home testing of viral nucleic acids with single-base resolution remains a challenge.

Methods: Topologically constrained DNA ring is engineered as substrates for the trans-cleavage of Cas13a to yield an accelerated post isothermal amplification.

In this work, a peroxidase-like (POD-like) nanozyme of Fe/P-NC was synthesized by doping phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) to manipulate iron (Fe) activity centers, which showed catalytic activity and kinetics comparable to those of natural HRP. Based on the efficient POD-like activity of the Fe/P-NC nanozyme and cascaded catalytic reactions with acetylcholinesterase (AChE), we constructed a colorimetric, affordable and sensitive sensing platform to detect organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). In the presence of AChE, the POD-like activity of the prepared Fe/P-NC was suppressed, which weakened the Fe/P-NC-catalyzed oxidation of TMB.

Effective delivery and controlled release of metallo-prodrugs with sustained activation and rapid response feed the needs of precise medicine in metal chemotherapeutics. However, gold-based anticancer drugs often suffer from detoxification binding and extracellular transfer by sulfur-containing peptides. To address this challenge, we integrate a thiol-activated prodrug strategy of newly prepared hypercoordinated carbon-centered gold(I) clusters (HCGCs) with their photosensitization character to augment the mitochondrial release of Au(I) in tumors.
