A new chemosensor 1 was synthesized by reacting rhodamine B hydrazide and 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, which was then characterized by spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Sensor 1 has the ability to sense Co/Cu ions by "naked-eye" with an apparent colour change from colourless to pink in different solvent system, MeCN and DMF respectively. Furthermore, it can selectively detect Co/Cu among wide range of different metal ions, and it exhibits low detection limit of 4.425 × 10 M and 1.398 × 10 M respectively. Binding mode of the two complexes were determined to be 1:1 stoichiometry for Co complex and 1:2 stoichiometry for Cu complex through Job's plot, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and H NMR spectroscopy. Moreover, reversibility of the sensor 1 as copper (II) ion detector was determined by using EDTA and the results showed that sensor 1 can be reused for at least 6 cycles. Other than that, a low cost chemosensor test strips were fabricated for the convenient "naked-eye" detection of Co and Cu in pure aqueous media. The MTT assay was conducted in order to determine the cytotoxicity of sensor 1 towards human cell lines.

Protein post-translational modification (PTM) serves as an important mechanism for regulating protein function. Accurate assay of PTM stoichiometry, or PTM occupancy, which refers to the proportion of proteins that contain specific modifications, is important for understanding the function of PTMs. We previously developed a novel chemoproteomic strategy "STO-MS" to quantify the PTM stoichiometry in complex biological samples, which employs a resolvable polymer mass tag to differentiate modified proteins and utilizes liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) techniques to measure PTM stoichiometry.

Many industries use copper metal ions (Cu ions), and their salts are utilized as supplemental materials in both agriculture and medicine. Identifying and monitoring these Cu ions in biological and environmental specimens is crucial due to their association with several health issues. In this investigation, we have designed a simple quinoline-based receptor (E)-3-(((2,4-di-tert-butyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)-6-methoxyquinolin-2(1H)-one (QAP) containing imine functional groups to inspect its capability to identify metal ions in a semi-aqueous medium.

Protein assembly into functional complexes is critical to life's processes. While complex assembly is classically described as occurring between fully synthesized proteins, recent work showed that co-translational assembly is prevalent in human cells. However, the biological basis for the existence of this process and the identity of protein pairs that assemble co-translationally remain unknown.

F-type Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase is a membrane-bound macromolecular complex, which is responsible for the synthesis of ATP, the universal energy source in living cells. This enzyme uses the proton- or sodium-motive force to power ATP synthesis by a unique rotary mechanism and can also operate in reverse, ATP hydrolysis, to generate ion gradients across membranes. The FF-ATP synthases from bacteria consist of eight different structural subunits, forming a complex of ~550 kDa in size.

The demand for innovative synthetic polymers with improved properties is high, but their structural complexity and vast design space hinder rapid discovery. Machine learning-guided molecular design is a promising approach to accelerate polymer discovery. However, the scarcity of labeled polymer data and the complex hierarchical structure of synthetic polymers make generative design particularly challenging.
