Selective acylation of chitosan oligomers by several cyclic anhydrides as a 13C NMR quantification method

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
The chemistry of chitosan is a promising way to afford biobased and biodegradable complex materials using highly reactive compounds such as anhydrides. However, the potential applications are limited due to the absence of control over the acylation and ...

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Photoinduced Selective Construction of Densely Functionalized Spirocyclic Ethers With Carbyne Equivalents

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A reactivity programmed cascade between carbyne equivalents and allylic benzoates was developed that sequentially orchestrates all three reactivity modes of carbyne equivalents, enabling the rapid installation of three σ‐bonds at a single carbon center and providing efficient, scalable access to structurally diverse spirocyclic ethers. ABSTRACT Carbyne

The function and mechanism of protein acylation in the regulation of viral infection

Virulence
Protein acylation modification is one of the most important protein post-translational modifications, which regulates the function of the protein by adding acyl groups to the residues of the protein.

Examining the Underappreciated Role of S-Acylated Proteins as Critical Regulators of Phagocytosis and Phagosome Maturation in Macrophages

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Phagocytosis is a receptor-mediated process used by cells to engulf a wide variety of particulates, including microorganisms and apoptotic cells. Many of the proteins involved in this highly orchestrated process are post-translationally modified with ...

Multifunctional Oxadiazole‐Based Polycatenars: A Pathway to Polar Columnar Phases

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Aromatic core fluorination directs oxadiazole‐based polycatenars into ferroelectric and antiferroelectric columnar phases with supergelation and photo‐responsiveness. ABSTRACT Polar columnar liquid crystals (LCs) offer a promising pathway to nanostructured architectures for next‐generation ferroelectric devices.

Chemical Proteomics Identifies Ketogenesis‐Mediated Cysteine Modifications Regulating Redox Function

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Herein, we report ketone body induce cysteine modifications beyond lysine acylation, as revealed by integrating chemical proteomics with open‐search methods. Among the modifications, cysteine crotonation (Ccr) was chemically validated by endogenous peptide‐based co‐elution assays.

Tailoring Vascular‐Immune Homeostasis via Manganese‐DNA Complex‐Armed Immunogenic Extracellular Vesicles for Pancreatic Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Mn2⁺–tumor DNA complexes encapsulated in dendritic cell (DC)– derived immunogenic extracellular vesicles (EVDC@Mn‐DNA) act as a DC‐specific cGAS– STING activator. EVDC@Mn‐DNA treatment enhances intratumoral DC activation, improves tumor vascular function, promotes CD8⁺ T cell activity, and suppresses pancreatic tumor growth,

Elucidating the Stereodirecting Effect of C‐4 Acyl Groups on Galactosyl Donors

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Tipping the balance of the reaction coordinate by changing a single protecting group. We demonstrate that α‐ and β‐galactosyl triflates are formed during galactosylation reactions and likely glycosylate according to a Curtin–Hammett scenario. C‐4 acyl groups exert their stereodirecting effect by sterically blocking displacement of α‐galactosyl ...

N-acylation of ethanolamine using lipase: a chemoselective catalyst

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2009
The N-acylation of ethanolamine (2) with various fatty acids 1a–d and esters of fatty acids 1e–h using Candida antarctica B lipase (Novozym® 435) are described and optimum conditions for selective N-acylation rather than O-acylation are also discussed ...
