Published: May 2024

By utilizing biorthogonal bases, we develop a comprehensive framework for studying biorthogonal dynamical quantum phase transitions in non-Hermitian systems. With the help of the previously overlooked associated state, we define the automatically normalized biorthogonal Loschmidt echo. This approach is capable of handling arbitrary non-Hermitian systems with complex eigenvalues and naturally eliminates the negative value of Loschmidt rate obtained without the biorthogonal bases. Taking the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model as a concrete example, a 1/2 change of dynamical topological order parameter in biorthogonal bases is observed which is not shown in self-normal bases. Furthermore, we discover that the periodicity of biorthogonal dynamical quantum phase transitions depends on whether the two-level subsystem at the critical momentum oscillates or reaches a steady state.

Metformin (MET), a commonly prescribed medication for managing type 2 diabetes, has demonstrated various beneficial effects beyond its primary anti-diabetic efficacy. However, the mechanism underlying MET activity and its distribution within organelles remain largely unknown. In this study, we integrate multiple technologies, including chemical labeling, immunostaining, and high-resolution microscopy imaging, to visualize the accumulation of MET in organelles of cultured cells.

Bioorthogonal chemical reporters are non-native chemical handles introduced into biomolecules of living systems, typically through metabolic or protein engineering. These functionalities can undergo bioorthogonal reactions, such as copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC), with small-molecule probes, enabling the tagging and visualization of biomolecules. This approach has greatly enhanced our understanding of cellular dynamics, enzyme targeting, and protein post-translational modifications.

Introduction: Phages are viruses that infect prokaryotes and can shape microbial communities by lysis, thus offering applications in various fields. However, challenges exist in sampling, isolation and accurate prediction of the host specificity of phages as well as in the identification of newly replicated virions in response to environmental challenges.

Methods: A new workflow using biorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) and click chemistry (CC) allowed the combined analysis of phages and their hosts, the identification of newly replicated virions, and the specific tagging of phages with biotin for affinity chromatography.
