Attachment of human noroviruses to histo blood group antigens is thought to be essential for infection of host cells. Molecular details of the attachment process can be studied in vitro using a variety of NMR experiments. The use of protein NMR based experiments requires assignments of backbone NMR signals. Using uniformly (2)H,(15)N-labeled protruding domains (P-dimers) of a prevalent epidemic human norovirus strain (GII.4 Saga) we have studied the potential of α-l-fucose covalently linked to a rigid lanthanide binding tag to aid backbone assignments using the paramagnetic properties of lanthanide ions. The synthesis of tagged α-l-fucose is reported. Notably, the metal chelating unit connects to the carbohydrate via a triazole linker constructed using click chemistry.

Separating actinides from lanthanides is essential for managing nuclear waste and promoting sustainable nuclear energy development. The recycling of transuranium elements (TRUs: Np, Pu, Am) is also significant for various nuclear technology applications. In this study, a dual strategy is introduced to designing covalent organic frameworks (COFs) that skillfully combines molecular rigidity with flexibility, integrating both hard and soft donor atoms in the synthesis of monomers.

-average sampling of structures from molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations can be used to predict theoretical extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) signals that closely match experimental spectra. However, AIMD simulations are time-consuming and resource-intensive, particularly for solvated lanthanide ions, which often form multiple nonrigid geometries with high coordination numbers. To accelerate the characterization of lanthanide structures in solution, we employed the Northwest Potential Energy Surface Search Engine (NWPEsSe), an adaptive-learning global optimization algorithm, to efficiently screen first-shell structures.

In this work, a dual-ligand functionalized lanthanide-encapsulated selenotungstate [HN(CH)]NaH[Ho(HO)(HPACA)WO(Ac)][SeWO] · 60HO (, HPACA = 2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid, HAc = acetic acid) was successfully acquired by simultaneously incorporating rigid HPACA and flexible Ac ligands to one reaction system. Interestingly, the polyanion [Ho(HO)(HPACA)WO(Ac)][SeWO] of is composed of six trivacant Keggin-type [B-α-SeWO] units interconnected through an organic-inorganic hybrid dual-ligand bimetallic [Ho(HO)(HPACA)WO(Ac)] cluster. Moreover, the @PNMPy film (PNMPy = poly(-methylpyrrole)) was successfully prepared through an electrochemical polymerization strategy.

A rigid nicotinate-modified lanthanide-substituted selenotungstate [HN(CH)]NaH[LaSeW(HO)(nica)O][SeWO]·32HO (, Hnica = nicotinic acid) was synthesized and consists of two trivacant Keggin [B-α-SeWO] fragments and one unusual [SeWO] fragment bridged by a heterometallic [LaW(HO)(nica)O] cluster. In the heterometallic cluster, two carboxyl O atoms in two nicotinate ligands directly coordinate with two W atoms in a stable C-O-W-O-W-O six-membered ring fashion. According to its catalase-like activity, was utilized to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by HO to produce blue oxidized TMB (ox-TMB), which can be used to establish a colorimetric sensing method for the detection of ascorbic acid.

Sodium pentachlorophenate (PCP) is widely used as a herbicide, fungicide, or molluscicide. It is highly toxic, easily soluble in water, making it highly prone to diffusion and causing water and soil pollution. Through the food chain, it enters animal bodies and remains in food, causing toxicity to humans and animals.
