A simple aptasensor is embedded in the internal surface of a micropipette tip as the aptasensor substrate for the label-free monitoring of acrylamide. The aptasensor is based on the formation of the triple-helix molecular switch (THMS) structure of the DNA strands that induces the salt-enforced aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). A smartphone imaging readout-based strategy is applied to quantify acrylamide.

Bicycles are constrained bicyclic peptides formed through reaction of three cysteine residues within a linear sequence with a trivalent, symmetrical small molecule scaffold. Bicycles with high binding affinities to therapeutically important targets can be discovered using screening technologies such as phage display. Increasing the chemical diversity of Bicycles should improve the probability of finding hits to new targets and can be achieved by expanding the toolbox of Bicycle forming chemistries.

A novel and mild synthetic route for the preparation of functionalized polycyclic indole skeletons via a gold-mediated cycloisomerization/alkoxylation of 1,6-aldehyde-yne has been developed. This atom-economical catalytic process that associates IPrAu(MeCN)BF and an alcohol demonstrated remarkable selectivity in accessing functionalized 3,4-dihydro-1-[1,4]oxazino[4,3-]indole derivatives of high synthetic utility (21 examples, yields of ≤96%) and could be optimized under asymmetric conditions with an enantiomeric excess of ≤86%.

With the aim of exploiting the use of organometallic species for the efficient modification of proteins through C-atom transfer, the gold-mediated cysteine arylation through a reductive elimination process occurring from the reaction of cyclometalated Au C^N complexes with a zinc finger peptide (Cys His type) is here reported. Among the four selected Au cyclometalated compounds, the [Au(C N)Cl ] complex featuring the 2-benzoylpyridine (C N) scaffold was identified as the most prone to reductive elimination and Cys arylation in buffered aqueous solution (pH 7.4) at 37 °C by high-resolution LC electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

A tricoordinated gold(I) chloride complex, tBuXantphosAuCl, supported by a sterically bulky 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)xanthene ligand (tBuXantphos) was synthesized. This complex features a remarkably longer Au-Cl bond length [2.632(1) Å] than bicoordinated linear gold complexes (2.
