We report a new reversible lysine conjugation that features a novel diazaborine product and much slowed dissociation kinetics in comparison to the previously known iminoboronate chemistry. Incorporating the diazaborine-forming warhead RMR1 to a peptide ligand gives potent and long-acting reversible covalent inhibitors of the staphylococcal sortase. The efficacy of sortase inhibition is demonstrated via biochemical and cell-based assays. A comparative study of RMR1 and an iminoboronate-forming warhead highlights the significance and potential of modulating bond dissociation kinetics in achieving long-acting reversible covalent inhibitors.

Covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) are useful architectures for two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) active materials. Recently, the characterization of the nonplanar benzo[5,6][1,4]dithiino[2,3-]thianthrene-6,13-dicarbonitrile (bTEpCN), as a prototypical section of 2D COFs, enables further understanding of the properties on such extended networks. Upon adsorption on the Au(111) surface, planarization of bTEpCN is achieved.

ConspectusCovalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are a novel class of nitrogen-rich conjugated porous organic materials constructed by robust and functional triazine linkages, which possess unique structures and excellent physicochemical properties. They have demonstrated broad application prospects in gas/molecular adsorption and separation, catalysis, energy conversion and storage, etc. In particular, crystalline CTFs with well-defined periodic molecular network structures and regular pore channels can maximize the utilization of the features of CTFs and promote a deep understanding of the structure-property relationship.

Molds are persistent and harmful but receive far less research attention compared with pathogenic bacteria. With the increase in microbial resistance to single-chain surfactant antimicrobial agents, it is crucial to investigate how surfactant structures affect the antimicrobial activity of surfactants. Here, we have studied the antimold efficacy of a series of oligomeric cationic quaternary ammonium surfactants at varying oligomerization levels with or without dynamic covalent imine bonds.

Nanoscale photoswitchable proteins could facilitate precise spatiotemporal control of transmembrane communication and support studies in synthetic biology, neuroscience and bioelectronics. Here, through covalent modification of the α-haemolysin protein pore with arylazopyrazole photoswitches, we produced 'photopores' that transition between iontronic resistor and diode modes in response to irradiation at orthogonal wavelengths. In the diode mode, a low-leak OFF-state nanopore exhibits a reversible increase in unitary conductance of more than 20-fold upon irradiation at 365 nm.

Supramolecular fluorescent materials with switchable behavior and induced luminescence enhancement are a new class of special materials for constructing fluorescence anti-counterfeiting materials. Since these materials are constructed by self-assembly through supramolecular host-guest interactions of non-covalent bonds, such fluorescent materials can regulate their optical properties through a reversible assembly-disassembly process. Inspired by the role of the β-barrel scaffold in activating strong fluorescence of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore, we designed a supramolecular system based on a novel GFP analogue (CA) and cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]).
