We report the design and synthesis of an aquacarbonyl Ru(II) dication cis-[Ru(CO)2(H2O)4](2+) reagent for histidine (His)-selective metallation of interleukin (IL)-8 at site 33. The artificial, non-toxic interleukin (IL)-8-Ru(II)(CO)2 metalloprotein retained IL-8-dependent neutrophil chemotactic activity and was shown to spontaneously release CO in live cells.

A high-efficiency PtZnCd nanozyme was screened with density functional theory (DFT) and unique d-orbital coupling features for sensitive enrichment and real-time analysis of CO-releasing molecule-3 (CORM-3). Multicatalytic sites in the nanozyme showed a high reactivity of up to 72.89 min for peroxidase (POD)-like reaction, which was 2.

Determining short-lived intermediate structures in chemical reactions is challenging. Although ultrafast spectroscopic methods can detect the formation of transient intermediates, real-space structures cannot be determined directly from such studies. Time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography (TR-SFX) has recently proven to be a powerful method for capturing molecular changes in proteins on femtosecond timescales.

Although the construction of nanotube arrays with the micro-nano structures on the titanium surfaces has demonstrated a great promise in the field of blood-contacting materials and devices, the limited surface hemocompatibility and delayed endothelial healing should be further improved. Carbon monoxide (CO) gas signaling molecule within the physiological concentrations has excellent anticoagulation and the ability to promote endothelial growth, exhibiting the great potential for the blood-contact biomaterials, especially the cardiovascular devices. In this study, the regular titanium dioxide nanotube arrays were firstly prepared in situ on the titanium surface by anodic oxidation, followed by the immobilization of the complex of sodium alginate/carboxymethyl chitosan (SA/CS) on the self-assembled modified nanotube surface, the CO-releasing molecule (CORM-401) was finally grafted onto the surface to create a CO-releasing bioactive surface to enhance the biocompatibility.

Protein crystals generally are stable solid protein assemblies. Certain protein crystals are suitable for use as nanovessels for immobilizing metal complexes. Here we report the preparation of ruthenium carbonyl-incorporated cross-linked hen egg white lysozyme crystals (Ru·CL-HEWL).
