In commemorating Robbie Duschinsky's publication of , I have decided that I could best serve this special issue by revisiting the founder of attachment theory, John Bowlby, and portraying him as a man above and beyond the founder of attachment theory based on my personal and intellectual relationship with him. The goal is to provide the reader, even those who were fortunate enough to have met him, an opportunity to reminisce or visualize Bowlby as husband, friend, mentor, and scholar. Thus, leaving the intellectual contributions to other scholars in this issue, this paper takes, although brief, the form of an emotional and personal memoir of John Bowlby.

The modification of proteins and other biomolecules with the small protein ubiquitin has enthralled scientists from many disciplines for decades, creating a broad research field. Ubiquitin research is particularly rich in molecular and mechanistic understanding due to a plethora of (poly)ubiquitin structures alone and in complex with ubiquitin machineries. Furthermore, due to its favorable properties, ubiquitin serves as a model system for many biophysical and computational techniques.

Electronic address:
Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is an octameric protein, comprised of eight identical protomers, that has diverse functions in reproductive biology, innate immunity and cancer. PTX3 interacts with the large polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) to which heavy chains (HCs) of the inter-α-inhibitor (IαI) family of proteoglycans are covalently attached, playing a key role in the (non-covalent) crosslinking of HC•HA complexes. These interactions stabilise the cumulus matrix, essential for ovulation and fertilisation in mammals, and are also implicated in the formation of pathogenic matrices in the context of viral lung infections.

In this study, an advanced nanofiber breast cancer model was developed and systematically characterized including physico-chemical, cell-biological and biophysical parameters. Using electrospinning, the architecture of tumor-associated collagen signatures (TACS5 and TACS6) was mimicked. By employing a rotating cylinder or static plate collector set-up, aligned fibers (TACS5-like structures) and randomly orientated fibers (TACS6-like structures) fibers were produced, respectively.

Chemical inducers of proximity (CIPs) are molecules that recruit one protein to another and introduce new functionalities toward modulating protein states and activities. While CIP-mediated recruitment of E3 ligases is widely exploited for the development of degraders, other therapeutic modalities remain underexplored. We describe a non-degrader CIP-DNA-encoded library (CIP-DEL) that recruits FKBP12 to target proteins using non-traditional acyclic structures, with an emphasis on introducing stereochemically diverse and rigid connectors to attach the combinatorial library.

Harsh acid oxidation of activated charcoal transforms an insoluble carbon-rich source into water-soluble, disc structures of graphene decorated with multiple oxygen-containing functionalities. We term these pleiotropic nano-enzymes as "pleozymes". A broad redox potential spans many crucial redox reactions including the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide (HS) to polysulfides and thiosulfate, dismutation of the superoxide radical (O*), and oxidation of NADH to NAD.
