The hierarchical assembly, in aqueous solution, of a new multi-metalloporphyrin/calixarene aggregate has been accomplished. In this supramolecular system transfer of chirality, from the outermost components to the central porphyrin reporter, takes place as a result of favorable and fully noncovalent long-range electronic communication.

Covalently branched DNA molecules are hybrid structures where a small molecule core is covalently linked to different DNA strands. They merge the programmability of DNA nanotechnology with synthetic molecules' functionality, offering enhanced stability over their non-covalent counterparts like double-crossover tiles. They enable the efficient assembly of stable DNA nanostructures with new geometries and functionalities.

Although photochromic molecules have attracted widespread interest in various fields, solid-state photochromism remains a formidable challenge, owing to the substantial conformational constraints that hinder traditional molecular photoisomerization processes. Benefiting from the significant color change upon radical generation, chemical systems enabling a photoinduced radical (PIR) behavior through photoinduced electron transfer (PET) could be ideal candidates for solid-state photochromism within minimized need of conformational freedom. However, the transient nature of radicals causes a dilemma in this Scheme.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are known for several features which make them one of the nanoparticles with great potential for application in different areas such as biosensors development and carrier molecules. However, there are few reports in the literature describing the coupling analysis of cellulose nanocrystals with biomolecules, and the existing ones are laborious, still needing a large laboratory structure. In this paper, we describe the non-covalent coupling of Bovine Serum Albumin protein (BSA) to CNCs using Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) as a reporter molecule.

The hydrolysis of glycosides is a biochemical transformation that occurs in all living organisms, catalyzed by a broad group of enzymes, including glycoside hydrolases. These enzymes cleave the glycosidic bond via a transition state with substantial oxocarbenium ion character, resulting in short-lived oxocarbenium ion-like species. While such transient species have been inferred through theoretical studies and kinetic isotope effect measurements, their direct spectroscopic characterization remains challenging.
