Mutations in RAS and PI3Kα are major drivers of human cancer. Their interaction plays a crucial role in activating PI3Kα and amplifying the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. Disrupting RAS-PI3Kα interaction enhances survival in lung and skin cancer models and reduces tumor growth and angiogenesis, although the structural details of this interaction remain unclear.

Indane-based molecules are effective scaffolds for different pharmaceutical products, so it is relevant to analyze the relation between structure and functionality in indane derivatives. Here, we have characterized the conformational landscape and molecular structure of 1-aminoindane in the gas phase using chirped-excitation Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy and computational methods. The rotational spectrum confirmed the presence of two conformers, which were identified based on their rotational constants and 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling tensor elements.

Background: Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor has drawn continuous attention to application of the detection of antibody, protein, virus, and bacteria. However, natural recognition molecules, such as antibody, which possess some properties, including low thermal stability, complicated operation and high price, uncontrollability of length and size and a tendency to accumulate easily on the surface of chip to reduce the sensitive of method. Furthermore, common blocking agents are not suitable for development of novel biosensors.

Phenolic compounds are typical organic pollutants which cause severe human health problems due to their teratogenesis, carcinogenesis, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity and endocrine disruption. Natural laccase is a multicopper oxidase existing in bacteria, plants, and insects, which can accelerate the transformation of phenolic compounds to their less hazardous oxidized products under mild conditions without harmful byproducts. Despite eco-environmentally friendly property of laccase, it still faces constraints of widespread application attribute to its high cost, complex preparation, and vulnerability.
