In this study, a novel amino acid and ionic liquid dual organically functionalized reagents modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane methacryl substituted (POSS-MA) based hybrid monolithic column (POSS-VBI-Cys) was designed and reported. With amino acid L-cysteine and ionic liquid 1-vinyl-3-butylimidazolium bromide as dual monomers, POSS-MA as the crosslinker, the new POSS-VBI-Cys hybrid monolithic column could be facilely fabricated via the "one-pot" free radical copolymerization and thiol-ene click reaction. Because of the introduction of polar amino acid L-cysteine, the new POSS-VBI-Cys column exhibited attenuated hydrophobicity in reversed-phase liquid chromatography separation. Polar amides, nucleosides and nucleic acid bases displayed strong retention on the POSS-VBI-Cys column and could be successfully separated. Furthermore, the new POSS-VBI-Cys column displayed good separation selectivity for model glycoproteins and non-glycoproteins mixture and it was also successfully used for the purification and separation of TARG1 protein from its originally expressed sample. In the future research, we will further exploit its performances for separation of intact proteins and in-depth proteome applications.

Background And Aim: The high rate of tumor growth results in an increased need for amino acids. As solute carriers (SLC) transporters are capable of transporting different amino acids, cancer may develop as a result of these transporters' over-expression due to their complex formation with other biological molecules. Therefore, this review investigated the role of SLC transporters in the progression of cancer.

Tumor microenvironment activatable therapeutic agents and their effective tumor accumulation are significant for selective tumor treatment. Herein, we provide an unadulterated nanomaterial combining the above advantages. We synthesize a perylene diimide (PDI) molecule substituted by glutamic acid (Glu), which can self-assemble into small spherical nanoparticles (PDI-SG) in aqueous solution.

Platform chemicals from renewable resources with broad applications are highly desirable, particularly for replacing fossil-based monomers. Bifunctional aliphatic ester-aldehydes, accessible via regioselective hydroformylation of unsaturated oleochemicals, can be converted into linear ω-amino/ω-hydroxy esters and dicarboxylic acids-key building blocks for biobased aliphatic polycondensates. However, their success hinges on efficient, economically viable production, with catalyst recycling being critical.

Tetramethylammonium (TMA) is a ubiquitous cationic motif in biochemistry, found in the charged choline headgroup of membrane phospholipids and in tri-methylated lysine residues, which modulates histone-DNA interactions and impacts epigenetic mechanisms. TMA interactions with anionic species, particularly carboxylate groups of amino acid residues and extracellular sugars, are of substantial biological relevance, as these interactions mediate a wide range of cellular processes. This study investigates the molecular interactions between TMA and acetate, representing carboxylate-containing groups, using neutron scattering experiments complemented by force fields and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

Background: Androgen receptor mutations, particularly T877A and W741L, promote prostate cancer (PCa). The main therapies against PCa use androgen receptor (AR) antagonists, including Bicalutamide; but these drugs lose their effectiveness over time. Chrysin is a flavonoid with several biological activities, including antitumoral properties; however, its potential as an antiandrogen must be explored.
