Over the past few decades, the merger of photocatalysis and transition metal-based catalysis or self-photoexcitation of transition metals has emerged as a useful tool in organic transformations. In this context, cobalt-based systems have attracted significant attention as sustainable alternatives to the widely explored platinum group heavy metals (iridium, rhodium, ruthenium) for photocatalytic chemical transformations. This review encompasses the basic types of cobalt-based homogeneous photocatalytic systems, their working principles, and the recent developments (2018-2024) in C-X (X = C, N, O, H, Si) bond formations.

Although previous research has shown that speakers adapt on the words they use, it remains unclear whether speakers adapt their phonological representations, leading them to perceive new phonemic contrasts following a social interaction. This event-related potential (ERP) study investigates whether the neuronal responses to the perception of the /e/-/ε/ vowel merger in Northern French speakers show evidence for discriminating /e/ and /ε/ phonemes after interacting with a speaker who produced this contrast. Northern French participants engaged in an interactive map task and we measured their ERP responses elicited after the presentation of a last syllable which was either phonemically identical to or different from preceding syllables.

Current strategies centred on either merging or linking initial hits from fragment-based drug design (FBDD) crystallographic screens generally do not fully leaverage 3D structural information. We show that an algorithmic approach (Fragmenstein) that 'stitches' the ligand atoms from this structural information together can provide more accurate and reliable predictions for protein-ligand complex conformation than general methods such as pharmacophore-constrained docking. This approach works under the assumption of conserved binding: when a larger molecule is designed containing the initial fragment hit, the common substructure between the two will adopt the same binding mode.

The work being presented now combines severe gradient boosting with Shapley values, a thriving merger within the field of explainable artificial intelligence. We also use a genetic algorithm to analyse the HDAC1 inhibitory activity of a broad pool of 1274 molecules experimentally reported for HDAC1 inhibition. We conduct this analysis to ascertain the HDAC1 inhibitory activity of these molecules.

Biological condensates often emerge as a multidroplet state and never coalesce into one large droplet within the experimental timespan. Previous work revealed that the sticker-spacer architecture of biopolymers may dynamically stabilize the multidroplet state. Here, we simulate the condensate coalescence using metadynamics approach and reveal two distinct physical mechanisms underlying the fusion of droplets.
