Sisomicin with an unsaturated sugar ring I displays better antibacterial activity than other structurally related aminoglycosides, such as gentamicin, tobramycin, and amikacin. In the present study, we have confirmed by X-ray analyses that the binding mode of sisomicin is basically similar but not identical to that of the related compounds having saturated ring I. A remarkable difference is found in the stacking interaction between ring I and G1491. While the typical saturated ring I with a chair conformation stacks on G1491 through CH/π interactions, the unsaturated ring I of sisomicin with a partially planar conformation can share its π-electron density with G1491 and fits well within the A-site helix.

Unlabelled: Crosstalk between autophagy, host cell death, and inflammatory host responses to bacterial pathogens enables effective innate immune responses that limit bacterial growth while minimizing coincidental host damage. ( ) thwarts innate immune defense mechanisms in alveolar macrophages (AMs) during the initial stages of infection and in recruited bone marrow-derived cells during later stages of infection. However, how protective inflammatory responses are achieved during infection and the variation of the response in different macrophage subtypes remain obscure.

Background: Working memory deficit, a key feature of schizophrenia, is a heritable trait shared with unaffected siblings. It can be attributed to dysregulation in transitions from one brain state to another.
Aims: Using network control theory, we evaluate if defective brain state transitions underlie working memory deficits in schizophrenia.

The development of a sensory signal amplification approach is very crucial for rapid and precise detection of aflatoxin B (AFB). However, such approaches remain scarce due to the weak interactions between AFB and the sensing probes. Herein, the first example of a dual-excitation fluorescent platform for antibody-free AFB detection is reported, which is assembled by an ordered π-π stack of cationic perylene derivative (PTHA) and tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)].

Article Synopsis
- This research focuses on developing a sensitive method for detecting neurotransmitters like dopamine, crucial for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
- Bovine serum albumin templated copper nanoparticles (BSA-Cu NPs) are created to mimic peroxidase activity, allowing for a dual detection technique that shows color changes when catalyzing hydrogen peroxide.
- The BSA-Cu NPs can detect dopamine effectively, even in human serum samples, using both colorimetric and fluorometric methods integrated with smartphone technology, demonstrating high potential for medical applications.
