Abnormal cell membrane metabolism is associated with many neuropsychiatric disorders. Free phosphomonoesters and phosphodiesters, which can be detected by in vivo 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), are important cell membrane building blocks. However, the quantification of phosphoesters has been highly controversial even in healthy individuals due to overlapping signals from macromolecule membrane phospholipids (MP). In this study, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) cerebral 31P MRS spectra were acquired from healthy volunteers at both 3 and 7 Tesla. Our results indicated that, with minimal spectral interference from MP, the [phosphocreatine (PCr)]/[phosphocholine (PC) + glycerophosphocholine (GPC)] ratio measured at 7 Tesla agreed with its value expected from biochemical constraints. In contrast, the 3 Tesla [PCr]/[PC+GPC] ratio obtained using standard spectral fitting procedures was markedly smaller than the 7 Tesla ratio and than the expected value. The analysis suggests that the commonly used spectral model for MP may fail to capture its complex spectral features at 3 Tesla, and that additional prior knowledge is necessary to reliably quantify the phosphoester signals at low magnetic field strengths when spectral overlapping is significant.

Article Synopsis
- Rapid and accurate sensors for detecting organophosphorus pesticide residues are urgently needed due to contamination concerns.
- Researchers developed a Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF) that minimizes interference from external substances and enhances detection performance through a unique redox-free bimodal approach.
- The sensor uses a dual-mode colorimetric and fluorescence method for detecting paraoxon, allowing quick and easy testing via a portable smartphone platform without interference from other redox substances.

Although both electromagnetic and charge transfer (CT) mechanisms play a role in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the contribution of the latter is limited by poor CT efficiency. Herein, we propose molecular-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (MERS) for the first time and develop a simple strategy to induce strong CT-enhanced Raman signals using a phosphoester (POE) electron-transfer bridge. Consequently, an excellent POE-enhanced Raman effect was found when various mono-, bis-, and trisaminobenzene compounds were used as probe analytes.

Identification of specific protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) inhibitors is of special importance regarding the study of its cellular functions and may have therapeutic values in diseases coupled to signaling processes. In this study, we prove that a phosphorylated peptide of the inhibitory region of myosin phosphatase (MP) target subunit (MYPT1), RQSRRS(pT696)QGVTL (P-Thr696-MYPT1), interacts with and inhibits the PP1 catalytic subunit (PP1c, IC = 3.84 µM) and the MP holoenzyme (Flag-MYPT1-PP1c, IC = 3.

Amide hydrolysis using enzyme labels, such as proteases, occurs at a slower rate than phosphoester and carboxyl ester hydrolysis. Thus, it is not very useful for obtaining high signal amplification in biosensors. However, amide hydrolysis is less sensitive to nonenzymatic spontaneous hydrolysis, allowing for lower background levels.
