Catechol redox maintenance in mussel adhesion.

Nat Rev Chem

January 2025

Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA.

Catechol-functionalized proteins in mussel holdfasts are essential for underwater adhesion and cohesion and have inspired countless synthetic polymeric materials and devices. However, as catechols are prone to oxidation, long-term performance and stability of these inventions awaits effective antioxidation strategies. In mussels, catechol-mediated interactions are stabilized by 'built-in' homeostatic redox reservoirs that restore catechols oxidized to quinones.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and AChE inhibitors play critical roles in the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, a fluorescence/colorimetry/smartphone triple-mode sensing platform was constructed for both AChE activity monitoring and AChE inhibitor screening by exploring a Cu (I) compound, CuI (SR) (R = CHCHNH), as a fluorescent probe. In comparison of most other fluorescent probes, CuI (SR) presented exceptional stability against pH, temperature, UV irradiation, redox agents, and metal ions, as well as good recyclability due to its unique chemical structure.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel type of superabsorbent hydrogels was created by cross-linking hydrophilic poly(vinylphosphonates) through a process called photochemical reaction, which involves light to trigger the bonding.
  • The process included synthesizing specific copolymers using a rare earth metal technique, followed by modifications to introduce vinylphosphonic acid, leading to significant water absorption capabilities of up to 150g of water per g of hydrogel.
  • The hydrogels were shown to respond to changes in pH, with experiments demonstrating their ability to swell and deswell reversibly in response to acidic or basic environments, making them suitable for use as sensors in various applications.

Self-Immolative Polymers Derived from Renewable Resources via Thiol-Ene Chemistry.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

December 2024

Department of Chemistry, The University of Western Ontario, 1151 Richmond St., London, Ontario, N6 A 5B7, Canada.

The development of polymers from renewable resources is a promising approach to reduce reliance on petrochemicals. In addition, depolymerization is attracting significant attention for the breakdown of polymers at their end-of-life or to achieve specific stimuli-responsive functions. However, the design of polymers incorporating both of these features remains a challenge.
