We report on self-assembly of guanosines with aromatic esters at their 5'-position. Depending on the basicity of the 5'-ester either discrete octamers G8·K(+)I(-) or hexadecamers G16·3K(+)3I(-) are formed. The thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities of the G-quadruplex can be controlled by interlayer hydrogen-bonding and by dispersion interactions on the assembly's periphery.

The software for chemical interaction networks (SCINE) project aims at pushing the frontier of quantum chemical calculations on molecular structures to a new level. While calculations on individual structures as well as on simple relations between them have become routine in chemistry, new developments have pushed the frontier in the field to high-throughput calculations. Chemical relations may be created by a search for specific molecular properties in a molecular design attempt, or they can be defined by a set of elementary reaction steps that form a chemical reaction network.

The primary function of the drug delivery system is to transfer various drugs to certain parts of the body. The drug is transferred reliably in the molecularity imprinted system, based on adjusting the drug release mechanism to control the drug amount and treatment duration. Molecular Imprinting Technology can provide an efficient polymer system to detect bioactive molecules and has high adsorption capacity as drug delivery carriers.

Cutaneous melanoma accounts for only about 7% of skin cancers but is causing almost 90% of deaths. Melanoma cells have a distinct repertoire of mutations from other cancers, a high plasticity and degree of mimicry toward vascular phenotype, stemness markers, versatility in evading and suppress host immune control. They exert a significant influence on immune, endothelial and various stromal cells which form tumor microenvironment.

CH-hydrogen bonding provides access to new building blocks for making macrocyclic ionophores with high degrees of preorganization and selective anion recognition. In this study, an anion-binding ionophore in the shape of a clamshell (ClS) was employed that is composed of two cyanostar (CNstar) macrocycles with preorganized cavities linked with a 12-carbon chain. This ionophore allows for anion complexation by CH-hydrogen bonding.

Protein aggregation is one of the most critical processes affecting protein solubility in various contexts-from protein therapeutics formulation to protein diseases. In general, time-dependent changes in protein solubility are complex kinetically driven processes that often involve a triggering event that consists of a protein unfolding/misfolding followed by the assembling of aggregation-competent protein species. In this study, we have examined the relation between stability and time-dependent solubility of the recombinant human antibody light chain, hLC, which was found to form renal tubular casts in the multiple myeloma patient.
