Covalent Attachment of a Platinum(II) Complex inside DNA Duplexes
ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.Oxidative addition is used for the site‐specific incorporation of an organometallic PtII complex as an artificial nucleobase into a DNA duplex. The platination stabilizes the duplex and confers it with phosphorescence. An organometallic phosphorescent PtII complex is introduced into DNA duplexes via oxidative addition to a tailor‐made artificial ...

Self‐Calibrating Ratiometric DNA Aptamer Probe for Quantitative ATP Imaging in Living Cells
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.We developed the RFA–ECHO probe, an internally calibrated ATP sensor that remains responsive across millimolar ATP levels. Its self‐correcting Cy5/ECHO ratio ensures accurate quantification independent of probe uptake. Compared with FRET‐based sensors, it yields a robust ratiometric shift, distinguishing high‐ATP cancer cells from normal ones, enabling

Mini‐Hairpin DNA: Extraordinarily Stable Structure and Its Applications
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Mini‐hairpin DNA fragments containing GCGAAGC and GCGAAAGC form exceptionally stable hairpin‐like structures, with only two G−C pairs and one sheared G−A pair, remaining undenatured in 7 M urea and resisting nuclease digestion. These mini‐hairpin sequences frequently appear in replication and transcription origins, influence DNA sequencing fidelity ...

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy at a Crossroads: Translational Gap and Emerging Delivery Agents
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.This review surveys recent advances in boron delivery agents for BNCT, emphasizing the shift from classical small molecules to multifunctional nanocarriers and theranostic systems. By integrating targeting, imaging, and therapy, next‐generation boron compounds aim to bridge the gap between (bio)chemical innovation and clinical translation.

It's a Gas: Bioconjugation With Vapor‐Phase Reagents
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Gaseous reagents are an emerging class of bioconjugation reagents that can offer alternative selectivity paradigms for the construction of precise bioconjugates. A variety of both inert and highly reactive gases have recently been developed for bioconjugation use.
