Improved Sensitivity: Efficient NMR experiments are presented for determining the secondary structure in large and dynamic RNAs using J-couplings across hydrogen bonds. The experiments provide up to eight-fold improved sensitivity and thus enable detection of base pairs in dynamic regions even in large RNAs.

Methanol-Enhanced Low-Cell-Voltage Hydrogen Generation at Industrial-Grade Current Density by Triadic Active Sites of Pt-Pd-(Ni,Co)(OH).

Methanol (ME) is a liquid hydrogen carrier, ideal for on-site-on-demand H generation, avoiding its costly and risky distribution issues, but this "ME-to-H" electric conversion suffers from high voltage (energy consumption) and competitive oxygen evolution reaction. Herein, we demonstrate that a synergistic cofunctional PtPd/(Ni,Co)(OH) catalyst with Pt single atoms (Pt) and Pd nanoclusters (Pd) anchored on OH-vacancy(V)-rich (Ni,Co)(OH) nanoparticles create synergistic triadic active sites, allowing for methanol-enhanced low-voltage H generation. For MOR, OH* is preferentially adsorbed on Pd and then interacts with the intermediates (such as *CHO or *CHOOH) adsorbed favorably on neighboring Pt with the assistance of hydrogen bonding from the surface hydrogen of (Ni,Co)(OH).

The biocompatible autonomous self-healing hydrogels have great potential in biomedical applications. However, the fairly weak tensile strength of the hydrogels seriously hinders their application. Here, we introduced chitosan (CS) into the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-tannic acid (TA) hydrogel and investigated the effects of the CS content, as CS can not only form reversible H bonds with PVA and TA but also form reversible electrostatic interactions with TA.

Herein, a novel spectrofluorometric sensor is proposed for the sensitive analysis of two nonfluorescent mucolytic drugs, namely, acetylcysteine (ACT) and carbocisteine (CST), utilizing the newly synthesized 2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)-(2,8,10-trimethylpyrido[2',3':3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-4-yl)-amino]-ethanol as a fluorescence probe (Flu. Probe). This fluorophore exhibits fluorescence emission at 445 nm upon excitation at 275 nm.

In this experiment, we investigated the structural properties, digestibility, and variations in antioxidant activity of rice bran-tissue peanut protein (RB-TPP), which was created through high-moisture extrusion between peanut protein powder (PPP) and various additions (0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, and 20 %) of rice bran (RB). The disulfide bonding and hydrophobic interactions were strengthened, and the hydrogen bonding in the RB-TPP was weakened by adding 5-10 % RB. Additionally, the β-sheet content reached its maximum at RB-10 %, which allowed the hydrophobic groups to be encapsulated ina stable protein network fiber structure, enhancing degree of organization, the thermal stability and digestibility of RB-TPP.

Glycosylation is an effective means to alter the structure and properties of plant compounds, influencing the pharmacological activity of natural products (NPs) to obtain highly active NPs. In nature, glucosides are the most widely distributed, while other glycosides such as xylosides are less common and present in lower quantities. This is due to the scarcity of xylosyltransferases with substrate promiscuity in nature, and the modification of their catalytic function is also quite challenging.
