Conjugate addition occurs efficiently from excited hydrazide based acrylanilides under both UV and metal free visible light irradiations. The reaction proceeds via an excited state encounter complex that bifurcates either via an electron or energy transfer pathway. The generality of excited state conjugate addition is demonstrated using chloromethylation and by thiol addition.

Detecting β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) with high sensitivity and selectivity is an urgent requirement due to nearly 80% of milk anaphylaxis, such as respiratory tract, skin urticaria, and gastrointestinal disorders, being caused by β-Lg. An ultrasensitive β-Lg electrochemical aptasensor utilizing core-satellite gold nanoparticle@silver nanocluster (AuNPs@AgNCs) nanohybrids as electrocatalysts was developed. First, β-Lg aptamer was anchored on gold electrodes and AuNPs to obtain high selectivity.

We present a method for conjugating antigens to gold nanoparticles (GNPs) during their synthesis via gas plasma, eliminating the need for chemical linkers and significantly speeding up the process (taking only 15 min). This fast, linker-free method produces biocompatible and stable GNPs, with potential for immunotherapy applications, such as antigen and antibody conjugation and drug delivery. We demonstrate the conjugation of the antigen Nestin (NES), a tumor marker, to GNPs using two approaches.

Proteins can be rapidly prototyped with cell-free expression (CFE) but in most cases there is a lack of probes or assays to measure their function directly in the cell lysate, thereby limiting the throughput of these screens. Increased throughput is needed to build standardized, sequence to function data sets to feed machine learning guided protein optimization. Herein, we describe the use of fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) as effective probes for measuring protease activity directly in cell-free lysate.

In this work, we developed potential multifunctional agents to combat Alzheimer's disease. According to our strategy, fragments of tacrine and donepezil were merged in a unique hybrid structure. After successfully synthesizing the compounds, they were evaluated for their dual AChE/BuChE inhibitor potential and neuroprotector response using a glutamate-induced excitotoxicity model.

A strong n-type perovskite layer is crucial in achieving high open-circuit voltage (V) and power conversion efficiency (PCE) in the p-i-n solar cells, as the weak n-type perovskites result in a loss of V, and the p-type perovskites contain numerous electron traps that cause the severe carrier recombination. Here, three types of perylene diimide (PDI) based small molecule dopants with different dimensions, including 1D-PDI, 2D-PDI, and 3D-PDI are designed, to produce heavier n-type perovskites. The PDI-based molecules with Selenium atoms have a strong electron-donating ability, effectively enlarging the quasi-Fermi level splitting within the perovskites.
