Ratiometric fluorescence sensors gain stronger anti-interference ability via self-calibration. Nevertheless, ratiometric analysis of phosphate (Pi) still faces problems such as complicated construction process of dual emission probes and possible interferences from outputting mono-category fluorescent signal. Herein, we propose a "kill two birds with one stone" strategy to address these challenges, by simply introducing a single-component probe, porphyrin paddlewheel framework-3 (PPF-3) nanosheets without modification, encapsulation or complex, to integrate fluorescence (FL)-second-order scattering (SOS) dual-signal for ratiometric detection of Pi. PPF-3 nanosheets are constructed by coordination of Co with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyl-phenyl)-porphyrin (TCPP) ligands, displaying weak FL and strong SOS, two different and independent signals. In the response system to Pi, Co and TCPP serve as the recognition element and signal unit, respectively. After interacting with Pi, the high affinity for Co makes Pi snatch Co from the PPF-3 nanosheets, causing their structure disassembly (SOS decrease) and TCPP release (FL increase). Finally, the FL-SOS ratiometric platform is successfully employed to access Pi in real water samples. Synchronous collection of FL and SOS from the single-component probe provides a simpler and more efficient way on ratiometric sensor design as well as a new useful technique for monitoring target-induced aggregation and disaggregation behavior.

Under certain conditions, RNA repeat sequences phase separate, yielding protein-free biomolecular condensates. Importantly, RNA repeat sequences have also been implicated in neurological disorders, such as Huntington's disease. Thus, mapping repeat sequences to their phase behavior, functions, and dysfunctions is an active area of research.

The insulin receptor (IR) and the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) are homodimeric transmembrane glycoproteins that transduce signals across the membrane on binding of extracellular peptide ligands. The structures of IR/IGF1R fragments in apo and liganded states have revealed that the extracellular subunits of these receptors adopt Λ-shaped configurations to which are connected the intracellular tyrosine kinase (TK) domains. The binding of peptide ligands induces structural transitions in the extracellular subunits leading to potential dimerization of transmembrane domains (TMDs) and autophosphorylation in TKs.
