Glycosylation of foldamers derived from furanoid sugar amino acids with mannose and a propyltriazole linker results in an unprecedented 16/10 mixed-turn structure in the glycopeptides in water, with a preference for the higher-order structure irrespective of the stereochemistry of the starting foldamer. This is in stark contrast to the structures displayed by the same oligomers in water when mannosylated with a two-carbon-shorter methyltriazole linker: 16-membered turn structure in the cis-foldamer and 10-membered in its trans congener. This demonstrates the defining influence of the linker length on the structural preference of these novel glycopeptide mimics.

Astrovirus MLB1 (HAstV-MLB1) is non-enveloped RNA virus that cause acute gastroenteritis infection. Despite research progress about infection and pathogenesis of HAstV-MLB1, Currently, no vaccine has been developed to effectively combat this pathogen. The current study is based on immunoinformatics and reverse vaccinology approaches to design next-generation, multi-epitope-based vaccine models against HAstV-MLB1.

Hydrogel biomaterials have been extensively explored for applications in medicine, materials science, and the development of functionalized materials. Traditionally, hydrogels were produced using simple polymers, but advancements over recent decades have enabled the use of biological materials such as proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, and even amyloid fibrils. Among these, amyloid-based hydrogels have demonstrated unique advantages, including enhanced cell adhesion and differentiation.

We synthesized a series of multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) containing 36 different organic linkers with 27 unique functionalities. The functionalities present on the linkers include amine, nitro, halide, naphthalene, alkyne, alkene, alkane, ether, phenyl, pyridine, thiophene, and amide groups. These MTV-MOFs were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction to ensure the MOF-5 connectivity forms, solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance to calculate the final linker incorporations, thermogravimetric analysis to confirm the organic component of the framework, and nitrogen sorption isotherms to measure the porosity and calculate the BET surface areas of each MTV-MOF.

Nitrogen-rich metal organic frameworks (MOFs) structures have a great potential for the chemical fixation of CO. In this direction, we have utilized the highly efficient nitrogen-rich dual linker MOF of nickel(ii) as a heterogeneous catalyst in solvent-free chemical fixation of CO into cyclic carbonates at ambient pressure. In this present work, nitrogen-rich nickel-MOF, Ni-ImzAdn, was synthesized from imidazole and adenine as efficient nitrogen-rich linkers under hydrothermal conditions (Imz = Imidazole and Adn = Adenine).
