The phase-transition behaviors, crystal structures, and dielectric properties of four kinds of simple 1:1 organic salts of (C12H25NH3(+))(benzenesulfonate) and (C12 H25NH3(+))(pyridine sulfonates) were examined from the viewpoint of intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions and dynamic conformational transformation in molecular assemblies. Crystals of (C12H25NH3(+))(benzenesulfonate) and (C12H25NH3(+))(3-pyridinesulfonate) were isostructural and solid-solid and solid-liquid-crystal smectic A (SmA) phase transitions were observed. These two crystals formed rodlike cation-anion assemblies. However, the two salts, (C12H25NH3(+))(2-pyridinesulfonate) and (C12H25NH3(+))(4-pyridinesulfonate), formed largely bent L-shaped cation-anion conformations. Interesting conformational transformations from rodlike to L-shaped assemblies were observed in (C12H25NH3(+))(2-pyridinesulfonate) and (C12H25NH3(+))(3-pyridinesulfonate).

In this research, the photophysical properties of metformin hydrochloride (MF-HCl) were studied using spectroscopic and molecular docking techniques. The interaction between metformin hydrochloride and caffeine is essential for understanding the pharmacokinetics of metformin, particularly in populations with high caffeine consumption. Metformin is a first-line medication for managing type 2 diabetes, while caffeine is a widely consumed dietary stimulant.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of protein digestibility improvement by exploring the changes in structural characteristics of proteins in noodles with varying levels of mechanically activated starch. Therefore, different levels of mechanically activated wheat starch were mixed with refined wheat flour to produce noodles. Results showed that moderately mechanically activated starch could significantly improve protein digestibility and noodles containing 8.

The unique reactivity of molecules under force commands an understanding of structure-mechanochemical activity relationships. While conceptual frameworks for understanding force transduction in many systems are established, systematic investigations into force-coupled molecular torsions are limited. Here, we describe a novel fluorenyl naphthopyran mechanophore for which mechanical force is uniquely coupled to the torsional motions associated with the overall chemical transformation as a result of the conformational rigidity imposed by the fluorene group.

The FLT3 gene frequently undergoes mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with internal tandem duplications (ITD) and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) point mutations (PMs) being most common. Recently, PMs and deletions in the FLT3 juxtamembrane domain (JMD) have been identified, but their biological and clinical significance remains poorly understood. We analyzed 1660 patients with de novo AML and found FLT3-JMD mutations, mostly PMs, in 2% of the patients.

Integrating enzymes with reticular frameworks offers promising avenues for access to functionally tailorable biocatalysis. This Minireview explores recent advances in enzyme-reticular frameworks hybrid biocomposites, focusing on the utilization of porous reticular frameworks, including metal-organic frameworks, covalent-organic frameworks, and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks, to regulate the reactivity of an enzyme encapsulated inside mainly by pore infiltration and in situ encapsulation strategies. We highlight how pore engineering and host-guest interfacial interactions within reticular frameworks create tailored microenvironments that substantially impact the mass transfer and enzyme's conformation, leading to biocatalytic rate enhancement, or imparting enzyme with non-native biocatalytic functions including substrate-selectivity and new activity.
