Here, we report a unique mesoporous ionic solid () generated from a cationic Au Ag Cu dodecanuclear complex with d-penicillamine depending on the homochirality and crystallization conditions. crystallizes in the cubic space group of 432 with an extremely large cell volume of 2 171 340 Å, containing 272 Au Ag Cu complex cations in the unit cell. In , the complex cations are connected to each other through CH⋯π interactions in a zeotype framework, the topology of which is the same as that of the metal-organic framework in MIL-101, with similar but much larger two types of polyhedral pores with internal diameters of 38.2 Å and 49.7 Å, which are occupied by counter-anions and water molecules. Due to the cationic nature of the framework, undergoes quick, specific exchanges of counter-anions while retaining its single crystallinity. This study realized the creation of a non-covalent mesoporous framework from a single complex salt, providing a conceptual advance in solid chemistry and material science.

Despite major efforts toward its eradication, cholera remains a major health threat and economic burden in many low- and middle-income countries. Between outbreaks, the bacterium responsible for the disease, , survives in aquatic environmental reservoirs, where it commonly forms biofilms, for example, on zooplankton. -acetyl glucosamine-binding protein A (GbpA) is an adhesin that binds to the chitinaceous surface of zooplankton and breaks its dense crystalline packing thanks to its lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) activity, which provides with nutrients.

The iron-regulated surface determinant protein B (IsdB) has recently been shown to bind to toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), thereby inducing a strong inflammatory response in innate immune cells. Currently, two unsolved questions are (i) What is the molecular mechanism of the IsdB-TLR4 interaction? and (ii) Does it also play a role in nonimmune systems? Here, we use single-molecule experiments to demonstrate that IsdB binds TLR4 with both weak and extremely strong forces and that the mechanostability of the molecular complex is dramatically increased by physical stress, sustaining forces up to 2000 pN, at a loading rate of 10 pN/s. We also show that TLR4 binding by IsdB mediates time-dependent bacterial adhesion to endothelial cells, pointing to the role of this bond in cell invasion.

Transient receptor potential channel subfamily M member 3 (TRPM3) is a Ca-permeable cation channel activated by the neurosteroid pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) or heat, serving as a nociceptor in the peripheral sensory system. Recent discoveries of autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorders caused by gain-of-function mutations in TRPM3 highlight its role in the central nervous system. Notably, the TRPM3 inhibitor primidone, an anticonvulsant, has proven effective in treating patients with TRPM3-linked neurological disorders and in mouse models of thermal nociception.

Interfacial tension () between CO and brine depends on chemical components in multiphase systems, intricately evolving with a change in temperature. In this study, we developed a convolutional neural network with a multibranch structure (MBCNN), which, in combination with a compiled data set containing measurement data of 1716 samples from 13 available literature sources at wide temperature and pressure ranges (273.15-473.
