The new radical ligand 5,8-dimethyl-1,4-dioxonaphtho[2,3-][1,2,3]dithiazolyl () is reported. Two crystal polymorphs, and , differing in their pancake-bonded dimerization motif and S···O contact network, are identified. The self-assembly of Mn(II) metal ions with leads to the formation of that exhibits a Mn(II)-radical-Mn(II)-radical-Mn(II) linear arrangement of three Mn(hfac) units bridged by two radical ligands (hfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonato-). Characterization by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of this Mn(II) complex packing structure reveals close noncovalent S···O contacts between the units in one dimension along the direction. The magnetic properties of the coordination complex are characterized by dc and ac susceptibility measurements on a microcrystalline solid. The magnetic data down to 4.8 K indicate the presence of effective ferromagnetic interactions (/ = +0.16 K) between the molecular = 13/2 units along the supramolecular chain involving noncovalent S···O contacts. Below 2.9 K, a non-zero out-of-phase component appears in the ac susceptibility, indicating the presence of a three-dimensional magnetic phase transition.

Biopolymers derived from natural resources are highly abundant, biodegradable, and biocompatible, making them promising candidates to replace non-renewable fossil fuels and mitigate environmental and health impacts. Nano-fibrous biopolymers possessing advantages of biopolymers entangle with each other through inter-/intra-molecular interactions, serving as ideal building blocks for gel construction. These biopolymer nanofibers often synergize with other nano-building blocks to enhance gels with desirable functions and eco-friendliness across various applications in biomedical, environmental, and energy sectors.

Protein-carbohydrate interactions play a crucial role in numerous fundamental biological processes. Thus, description and comparison of the carbohydrate binding site (CBS) architecture is of great importance for understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms. However, traditional approaches for carbohydrate-binding protein analysis and annotation rely primarily on the sequence-based methods applied to specific protein classes.

Uncontrollable haemorrhage and associated microbial contamination in the battlefield and civilian injuries pose a tremendous threat to healthcare professionals. Such traumatic wounds often necessitate an effective point-of-care solution to prevent the consequent morbidity owing to blood loss or haemorrhage. However, developing superior hemostatic materials with anti-infective properties remains a challenge.

Targeted degradation of membrane proteins represents an attractive strategy for eliminating pathogenesis-related proteins. Aptamer-based chimeras hold great promise as membrane protein degraders, however, their degradation efficacy is often hindered by the limited structural stability and the risk of off-target effects due to the non-covalent interaction with target proteins. We here report the first design of a covalent aptamer-based autophagosome-tethering chimera (CApTEC) for the enhanced autophagic degradation of cell-surface proteins, including transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) and nucleolin (NCL).

Sulfur-fluoride exchange (SuFEx) reaction is an emerging class of click chemistry reaction. Owing to its efficient reactivity under physiological conditions, SuFEx reaction is used to construct covalent protein drugs. Herein, a covalent affibody-molecular glue drug conjugate nanoagent is reported, which can irreversibly bind with its target protein through proximity-enabled SuFEx reaction.
