AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The work on developing a scalable lipase-catalytic method for the kinetic resolution of long-chain 1,2-alkanediols, complemented by crystallization of the pure enantiomers from the reaction mixtures, offered the possibility of a more detailed study of the aggregation of such diols. MD modeling, mass spectrometry, (1)H NMR, and DOSY studies provided a novel insight into the nucleation process. An efficient protocol for stereo- and chemoselective crystallization of (S)-1,2-dodecanediol and related compounds from the crude bioconversion mixtures was developed.

Dimension-engineered synthesis of atomically thin II-VI nanoplatelets (NPLs) remains an open challenge. While CdSe NPLs have been made with confinement ranging from 2 to 11 monolayers (ML), CdTe NPLs have been significantly more challenging to synthesize and separate. Here we provide detailed mechanistic insight into the layer-by-layer growth kinetics of the CdTe NPLs.

Phase separation plays a crucial role in many natural and industrial processes, such as the formation of clouds and minerals and the distillation of crude oil. In metals and alloys, phase separation is an important approach often utilized to improve their mechanical strength for use in construction, automobile, and aerospace manufacturing. Despite its importance in many processes, the atomic details of phase separation are largely unknown.

Understanding topological defects-controlled structural degradation of layered oxides-a key cathode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries-plays a critical role in developing next-generation cathode materials. Here, by constructing a nanobattery in an electron microscope enabling atomic-scale monitoring of electrochemcial reactions, we captured the electrochemically driven atomistic dynamics and evolution of dislocations-a most important topological defect in material. We deciphered how dislocations nucleate, move, and annihilate within layered cathodes at the atomic scale.

The mechanisms of assembly are determined by each protein's sequence and cellular context. We previously developed distributed amphifluoric FRET (DAmFRET) to analyze sequence determinants of self-assembly in cells.

Despite the important activities of SSNA1 to microtubules such as nucleation, co-polymerization, and lattice sharing microtubule branching, the underlying molecular mechanism have remained unclear due to a lack of structural information. Here, we determined the cryo-EM structure of SSNA-1 at 4.
