Immobilized L-aspartic acid beta-methyl ester (Fmoc-Asp(OMe)-OH) was reacted with 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, followed by alkylation with various α-haloketones. The resulting intermediates were treated with potassium trimethylsilanolate, which yielded tetrasubstituted pyrroles after a one-step transformation consisting of sequential C-arylation, aldol condensation and spontaneous aromatization. The discovered synthetic strategy enables fast and simple access to pentasubstituted and functionalized pyrroles from a number of readily available starting materials.

Rapid reduction of body size in populations responding to global warming suggests the involvement of temperature-dependent physiological adjustments during growth, such as mitochondrial alterations, in the efficiency of producing metabolic energy, a process that is poorly explored, especially in endotherms. Here, we examined the mitochondrial metabolism and proteomic profile of red blood cells in relation to body size and cellular energetics in nestling shearwaters (Calonectris diomedea) developing at different natural temperatures. We found that nestlings of warmer nests had lighter bodies and smaller beaks at fledging.

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze reversibly both the hydration and dehydration reactions of CO and HCO-, respectively. Higher plants contain many different isoforms of CAs that can be classified into α-, β- and γ-type subfamilies. β-type CAs play a key role in the CO-concentrating mechanism, thereby contributing to efficient photosynthesis in the C plants in addition to many other biochemical reactions in plant metabolism.

Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid materials, particularly those based on boron nitride (BN) and graphene oxide (GO), have attracted significant attention for energy applications owing to their distinct structural and electronic properties. BN/GO composites uniquely combine the mechanical strength, thermal stability and electrical insulation of BN with the high conductivity and flexibility of GO, creating advanced materials ideal for the fabrication of batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells. These hybrids offer synergistic effects, enhanced charge transport, increased surface area, and improved chemical stability, making them promising candidates for high-performance energy systems.

The synthesis of high-performance catalysts for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) degradation under humid conditions is essential for their practical industrial application. Herein, a codoping strategy was adopted to synthesize the N-CoO-C catalyst with N, C codoping for low-temperature ethyl acetate (EA) degradation under humid conditions. Results showed that N-CoO-C exhibited great catalytic activity ( = 177 °C) and water resistance (5.
