ConspectusA key challenge in modern chemistry research is to mimic life-like functions using simple molecular networks and the integration of such networks into the first functional artificial cell. Central to this endeavor is the development of signaling elements that can regulate the cell function in time and space by producing entities of code with specific information to induce downstream activity. Such artificial signaling motifs can emerge in nonequilibrium systems, exhibiting complex dynamic behavior like bistability, multistability, oscillations, and chaos.

Colloidal crystals of micrometer-sized colloids create prismatic structural colors through the grating diffraction of visible light. Here, we develop design rules to engineer such structural color by specifically accounting for the effect of crystal defects. The local quality and grain size of the colloidal structure are varied by performing self-assembly in the presence of a direct current (DC) electric field.

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is essential for DNA synthesis and repair in all living organisms. The mechanism of RNR requires long-range radical transport through a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) pathway spanning two different protein subunits. Herein, the direct PCET reaction between the interfacial tyrosine residues, Y356 and Y731, is investigated with a vibronically nonadiabatic theory that treats the transferring proton and all electrons quantum mechanically.

The ground-state charge generation (GSCG) in photoactive layers determines whether the photogenerated carriers occupy the deep trap energy levels, which, in turn, affects the device performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). In this work, charge-quadrupole electrostatic interactions are modulated to achieve GSCG through a molecular strategy of introducing different numbers of F atom substitutions on the BTA3 side chain. The results show that 8F substitution (BTA3-8F) and 16F substitution (BTA3-16F) lead to different patterns of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level changes.

Purpose: Rituximab has proven efficacy in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). However, vast majority of children inevitably experience relapse with B-cell repletion, necessitating repeat course of rituximab, which may increase the risk of adverse effects. The timing of additional dosing and optional dosing regimen of rituximab in pediatric patients with INS have yet to be determined.
