Fluorescence-detected circular dichroism (FDCD) spectroscopy is applied for the first time to supramolecular host-guest and host-protein systems and compared to the more known electronic circular dichroism (ECD). We find that FDCD can be an excellent choice for common supramolecular applications, for the detection and chirality sensing of chiral organic analytes, as well as for reaction monitoring. Our comprehensive investigations demonstrate that FDCD can be conducted in favorable circumstances at much lower concentrations than ECD measurements, even in chromophoric and auto-emissive biofluids such as blood serum, overcoming the sensitivity limitation of absorbance-based chiroptical spectroscopy. Besides, the combined use of FDCD and ECD can provide additional valuable information about the system, the chemical identity of an analyte or hidden aggregation phenomena. We believe that simultaneous FDCD- and ECD-based chiroptical characterization of emissive supramolecular systems will be of general benefit for characterizing fluorescent, chiral supramolecular systems due to the higher information content obtained by their combined use.

The interaction of drugs with DNA is crucial for understanding their mechanism of action, particularly in the context of gene expression regulation. Erdafitinib (EDB), a pan-FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptor) inhibitor approved by the FDA, is a potent anticancer agent used primarily in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma. In this study, the binding interaction between EDB and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) was assessed using molecular docking, UV-absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.

Species-specific interferon responses are shaped by the virus-host arms race. The human interferon-induced transmembrane protein (IFITM) family consists of three antiviral IFITM genes that arose by gene duplication. These genes restrict virus entry and are key players in antiviral interferon responses.

This study investigated the effects of varying concentrations of peanut shell flavonoids (PSFs) on the properties of peanut meal extract-tilapia skin protein composite films and their impact on cherry tomatoes preservation. Peanut meal alcohol extract (Pe) and tilapia skin protein (Co) were used as base materials, combined with PSFs to prepare composite films with excellent antioxidant properties. The results demonstrated that the optimized composite films exhibited superior mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of 9.

This work explores the use of a cross-shaped organic framework that is used as a template for the investigation of multi-functionalized chromophores. We report the design and synthesis of a universal cross-shaped building block bearing two bromines and two iodines on its peripheral positions. The template can be synthesized on a gram scale in a five-step reaction comprising an oxidative homo-coupling macro-cyclization.

Sesbania grandiflora, a fast-growing shrub from the Fabaceae family, is extensively researched for its therapeutic properties. Despite its highly valued medicinal properties, there have been no reports on exploring the proteome of Sesbania grandiflora. The present study aims to address this gap by investigating the proteomic profile of Sesbania grandiflora seeds with a primary focus on identifying storage proteins.
