Published: July 2019

The General Medical Council (GMC) has called upon the Royal Postgraduate Medical Colleges to redesign their curricula using principles of capability. This offers an opportunity to better align the General Practice training curriculum with the role of the general practitioner, and we argue that approaches have already been developed that may be adapted to support the teaching and assessment of capability. We set out our understanding of how capability differs from competency, in particular how the former emphasises the ongoing creation of everyday knowledge within clinical practice. We offer an expanded version of capability comprising a prospective disposition towards noticing and responding to novelty. We offer some suggestions around how capability can be developed: through heightened sensitivity to context, development of divergent thinking and assessment of zones of professional practice. We emphasise the role of the supervisor in helping to support these dispositions through an appreciative, and collaborative, approach that acknowledges the full range of reasonable decisions applicable to each particular context.

ATP Regeneration from Pyruvate in the PURE System.

ACS Synth Biol

January 2025

Centre for Engineering Biology, Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3FF, U.K.

The "Protein synthesis Using Recombinant Elements" ("PURE") system is a minimal biochemical system capable of carrying out cell-free protein synthesis using defined enzymatic components. This study extends PURE by integrating an ATP regeneration system based on pyruvate oxidase, acetate kinase, and catalase. The new pathway generates acetyl phosphate from pyruvate, phosphate, and oxygen, which is used to rephosphorylate ATP .

Roadmap for Borophene Gas Sensors.

ACS Sens

January 2025

Chimie des Interactions Plasma Surface group, Chemistry Department, Université de Mons, 7000 Mons, Belgium.

Borophene, a two-dimensional allotrope of boron, has emerged as a promising material for gas sensing because of its exceptional electronic properties and high surface reactivity. This review comprehensively overviews borophene synthesis methods, properties, and sensing applications. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the substantial gap between the abundance of theoretical literature and the limited experimental studies.

The tedious synthesis and limited throughput biological evaluation remain a great challenge for discovering new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC). To rapidly identify potential PROTAC lead compounds, we report a platform named Auto-RapTAC. Based on the modular characteristic of the PROTAC molecule, a streamlined workflow that integrates lab automation with "click chemistry" joint building-block libraries was constructed.

High-Strength Anisotropic Fluorescent Hydrogel Based on Solvent Exchange for Patterning.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Solid Lubrication, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou 730000, P. R. China.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active fluorescent hydrogel materials have found extensive applications in soft robotics, wearable electronics, information encryption, and biomedicine. Nevertheless, it continues to be difficult to create hydrogels that are both highly luminescent and possess strong mechanical capabilities. This study introduces a combined approach of prestretching and solvent exchange to create anisotropic luminous hydrogels made of poly(methacrylic acid-methacrylamide).

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) has been a powerful technique to provide impactful insights for electrochemical systems, including reaction mechanism, kinetics, diffusion coefficients, etc., in various fields of study, notably energy storage and energy conversion. However, the separation between the faradaic current component of CV and the nonfaradaic current contribution to extract useful information remains a major issue for researchers.
