Potentionmetric and spectroscopic (EPR, CD and absorption spectra) data have shown that a fragment of envelope proteins of the hepatitis B virus could be very specific bind molecules for Cu2+ ions using arginine lateral NH2 donor sites. The presence of Pro and Asp residues makes Arg binding not only very specific, but also very efficient.

This research aims to develop YCuMnO double perovskite, using a citrate auto combustion method, to be used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of organic dyes and antibiotics. XRD and Raman characterization revealed the synthesis of pure-phase YCuMnO double perovskite. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results show the presence of +4 and +2 oxidation states of Mn and Cu ions.

A series of sensors, designated S3R1-S3R4, were designed and synthesized for the detection of PO ions and toxic metals, specifically Hg and Cu ions. The colorimetric detection of PO ions using these sensors exhibited a distinct visual color transition from yellow to purple in organo-aqueous media. The intrinsic cavity-like structure in the thiosemicarbazide-based derivative S3R4 significantly enhances the binding affinity for Hg and Cu ions in organic media.

Two novel 3D inorganic-organic hybrids based on [VO]/[VO] clusters, [Cu(bbpy)(VO)]·3HO () and [CuAg(pty)(VO)]·HO () (bbpy = 3,5-bis(1-benzimidazole) pyridine, pty = 4'-(4″-pyridyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine), were isolated in the same POV/Cu/N-heterocycle ligand reaction systems. Hybrids and possess novel three-dimensional bimetallic frameworks derived from [VO]/[VO] clusters and Cu-organic complexes. In , bbpy ligands are grafted by Cu to a grid ribbon 2D sheet, which are connected with benzene-like [VO] to yield a 3D framework.

The design of metalloproteins allows us to better understand metal complexation in proteins and the resulting function. In this study, we incorporated a Cu-binding site into a natural protein domain, the 58 amino acid c-Crk-SH3, to create a miniaturized superoxide dismutase model, termed SO1. The resulting low complexity metalloprotein was characterized for structure and function by circular dichroism and UV spectroscopy as well as EPR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.

Article Synopsis
- Poly(phenylacetylene)s with anilide groups change color when they interact with oxidizing metal ions like Cu, Hg, Fe, Au, or Ce due to a redox reaction.
- Researchers studied six types of these polymers, each with different chiral pendant groups, showing that the anilide-PPAs are particularly sensitive to these metal ions.
- The reaction leads to the formation of a radical species that is spread along the polymer backbone, causing a noticeable color shift from yellow to blue, confirmed through various analytical techniques.
