The Schiff-base probe HVL [6,6'-((1E,1'E)-hydrazine-1,2 diylidenebis(methanylylidene))bis(2-methoxyphenol)] is synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). HVL is able to detect selectively acetate ion (OAc-) colorimetrically over other anions with 1:1 co-ordination. The detection limit is found to be 4.93 µM. On the other hand, fluorescence intensity of the receptor is drastically enhanced with Zn and Cd in the presence of acetate as counter anion. N, N-Dimethyl formamide (DMF) or Dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and acetate (OAc-) was the best solvent and counter anion for Zn/Cd -sensing compared with other solvents and anions, respectively. Detection limit for Zn and Cdare calculated to be 1.94 µM and 1.99 µM, respectively. The strong selective emissive behavior could be attributed to the CHEF (chelation-enhanced fluorescence) process. According to the changes in output emission intensity in DMSO in response to the set of ions (Zn, Cd and OAc¯) as input variables, the function of 3-input multifunctional molecular logic circuits has been demonstrated. The molecular docking studies of HVL with DNA and BSA are also performed to confirm its possible bioactivity.

The cochlear nuclear complex (CN), the starting point for all central auditory processing, encompasses a suite of neuronal cell types highly specialized for neural coding of acoustic signals. However, the molecular logic governing these specializations remains unknown. By combining single-nucleus RNA sequencing and Patch-seq analysis, we reveal a set of transcriptionally distinct cell populations encompassing all previously observed types and discover multiple hitherto unknown subtypes with anatomical and physiological identity.

Single-cell genomics technologies have accelerated our understanding of cell-state heterogeneity in diverse contexts. Although single-cell RNA sequencing identifies rare populations that express specific marker transcript combinations, traditional flow sorting requires cell surface markers with high-fidelity antibodies, limiting our ability to interrogate these populations. In addition, many single-cell studies require the isolation of nuclei from tissue, eliminating the ability to enrich learned rare cell states based on extranuclear protein markers.

The homolytic cleavage of C-C bonds adjacent to specific functional groups has lately emerged as a versatile approach for molecular diversification. Despite the ubiquity and synthetic utility of ketones, radical fragmentation of their α-C-C bonds has proven to be a formidable challenge. Here, we present a broadly applicable deacylative strategy designed to homolytically cleave aliphatic ketones of various complexities, including transformations of cycloalkanones into carboxylic acids tethered to C-centered free radicals that can be engaged in diverse radical-based processes.

Macrophages exposed to immune stimuli reprogram their epigenomes to alter their subsequent functions. Exposure to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes widespread nucleosome remodeling and the formation of thousands of de novo enhancers. We dissected the regulatory logic by which the network of interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) induces the opening of chromatin and the formation of de novo enhancers.

Antibiotics are essential medicines threatened by the emergence of resistance in all relevant bacterial pathogens. The engagement of the molecular targets of antibiotics offers multiple opportunities for resistance to emerge. Successful target engagement often requires passage of the antibiotic from outside into the cell interior through one or two distinct membrane barriers.
