BTImP, 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-methoxy-6-(1,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazol-2yl)phenol, a compound showing a very unusual excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process, is theoretically studied. Composed of two ESIPT centres, BTImP presents a switching of the ESIPT from one moiety to the other by acidic stimulation, allowing emission of a large panel of colours. In this work, the switching mechanism and its impact on the structural and optical properties are investigated with time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and post Hartree-Fock methods [ADC(2) and CC2] including the environment by considering bulk solvation effects and the important impact of the counter-ion (BF, ClO, and Cl). A special attention is paid to locate all relevant conformers in both the ground and excited states. The possibility of having a doubly protonated structure is investigated as well. Eventually, in connection with experimental data (NMR, X-ray, and fluorescence spectra) a specific structure could be attributed to each emission colour.

The discovery of a stable organic radical formed under mild, clean, and efficient light-mediated conditions is reported. The structure of the stable acridinium-based radical photoproduct was unambiguously established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, and in solution by EPR, UV/vis, and NMR spectroscopies. The photochemical mechanism of its formation has been elucidated by photophysical experiments coupled with EPR experiments and theoretical investigations.

The integration of exercise prescriptions into cancer adjuvant therapy presents challenges stemming from the ambiguity surrounding the precise mechanism through which exercise intervention mitigates the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mortality and recurrence. Elucidation of this specific mechanism has substantial social and clinical implications. In this study, tumor-bearing mice engaged in voluntary wheel running exhibited a notable decrease in tumor growth, exceeding 30%.

Hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites (HOIPs) have garnered a significant amount of attention due to their exceptional photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, they still face considerable challenges in large-scale applications, primarily due to their instability. One key factor influencing this instability is the lattice softness attributed to the A-site cations.

Protein citrullination modification plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are extensively employed for clinical diagnosis of RA. However, there remains limited understanding regarding specific citrullinated proteins and their implications in the progression of RA. In this study, we screen and verify insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) as a novel citrullinated protein with significantly elevated citrullinated level in RA.
