This study proposes an eluent-free isolation strategy for the direct isolation of thrombin from whole blood via tandem temperature/pH dual-responsive polyether sulfone monolith and photoreversible DNA nanoswitch-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) aerogel. Temperature/pH dual-responsive microgel immobilized on polyether sulfone monolith was adopted to remove the matrix complexity of blood sample via size/charge screening effect. Photoreversible DNA nanoswitches, comprising thrombin aptamer, aptamer complementary ssDNA (cDNA) and the azobenzene-modified ssDNA (control DNA), were functionalized on MOF aerogel to offer efficient capturing of thrombin under irradiation of ultraviolet light (365 nm), driven by electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions. The release of captured thrombin was easily achieved by changing the complementary behaviors of DNA strands via blue light (450 nm) irradiation. Thrombin with purity higher than 95 % can be directly obtained from whole blood using this tandem isolation procedure. Fibrin production and substrate chromogenic tests showed that the released thrombin possessed high biological activity. The photoreversible thrombin capturing-release strategy is merited with eluent-free, avoiding the loss of activity of thrombin in chemical circumstances and undesired dilution, providing a robust guarantee for subsequent application.

The ability to prepare defined transcription elongation complexes (TECs) is a fundamental tool for investigating the interplay between RNA polymerases (RNAPs) and nascent RNA. To facilitate the preparation of defined TECs that contain arbitrarily long and complex transcripts, we developed a procedure for isolating roadblocked E. coli TECs from an in vitro transcription reaction using solid-phase photoreversible immobilization.

Sequence-defined and degradable polymers can mimic biopolymers, such as peptides and DNA, to undertake life-supporting functions in a chemical way. The design and development of well-structured oligomers/polymers is the most concern for the public, even to further uncover their degradation process illustrating the degraded products and their properties. However, seldom investigation has been reported on the aforementioned aspects.

The interstrand crosslinking and threaded structures of nucleic acids have high potential in oligonucleotide therapeutics, chemical biology, and nanotechnology. For example, properly designed crosslinking structures provide high activity and nuclease resistance for anti-miRNAs. The noncovalent labeling and modification by the threaded structures are useful as new chemical biology tools.

Changes in light quality caused by the presence of neighbor proximity regulate many growth and development processes of plants. PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 7 (PIF7), whose subcellular localization, DNA-binding properties, and protein abundance are regulated in a photoreversible manner, plays a central role in linking shade light perception and growth responses. How PIF7 activity is regulated during shade avoidance responses has been well studied, and many factors involved in this process have been identified.
