To further explore the binding properties of Ru(Ⅱ) polypyridine complexes with RNA, three Ru(Ⅱ) complexes [Ru(phen)(PIP)] (Ru1), [Ru(phen)(p-HPIP)] (Ru2), and [Ru(phen)(m- HPIP)] (Ru3) have been synthesized and characterized in this work. The binding properties of three Ru(Ⅱ) complexes with RNA duplex poly(A)•poly(U) have been investigated by spectral and viscosity experiments. These studies all support that these three Ru(Ⅱ) complexes bind to poly RNA duplex poly(A)•poly(U) by intercalation, and Ru1 without substituents has a stronger binding affinity for poly(A)•poly(U). Interestingly, the thermal melting experiments show that these three Ru(Ⅱ) complexes all destabilize RNA duplex poly(A)•poly(U), and the destabilizing effect can be explained by the conformational changes of duplex structure induced by intercalating agents. To the best of our knowledge, this work report for the first time a small molecule capable of destabilizing an RNA duplex, which reflects that the substitution effect of intercalated ligands has an important influence on the affinity of Ru(Ⅱ) complexes to RNA duplex, and that not all Ru(Ⅱ) complexes show thermal stability effects on an RNA duplex.

The complexation of nucleic acids and collagen forms a platform biomaterial greater than the sum of its parts. This union of biomacromolecules merges the extracellular matrix functionality of collagen with the designable bioactivity of nucleic acids, enabling advances in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, gene delivery, and targeted therapy. This review traces the historical foundations and critical applications of DNA-collagen complexes and highlights their capabilities, demonstrating them as biocompatible, bioactive, and tunable platform materials.

Current approaches for classifying biosensor data in diagnostics rely on fixed decision thresholds based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, which can be limited in accuracy for complex and variable signals. To address these limitations, we developed a framework that facilitates the application of machine learning (ML) to diagnostic data for the binary classification of clinical samples, when using real-time electrochemical measurements. The framework was applied to a real-time multimeric aptamer assay (RT-MAp) that captures single-frequency (12.

Five alkali metal manganese(III) fluorophosphates, KMn(POF)F (I), RbMn(POF)F (II), RbMn(POF)(PO)F (III), RbMn(POF)(PO)F (IV), and CsMn(POF)F (V), were successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The monofluorophosphate anion (POF) groups work as "chemical scissors" to promote low-dimensional spin structures with the aid of alkali metal cations. I and II had an = 2 uniform chain structure formed by corner-sharing -MnOF octahedra.
