New Water Oxidation Mechanism in Photosystem II Resolves Major Experimental Controversies

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
In Photosystem II Oxygen Evolving Complex, we discovered the O3‐O6 peroxide at lower energy. Assignment of the O3 ligated by histidine (His337) as a slow exchanging substrate and its coupling with O6 give the O─O bond formation mechanism most consistent with all currently available experimental data. Proposal shows how protein environment can steer the

NOS2-derived low levels of NO drive psoriasis pathogenesis

Cell Death and Disease
Psoriasis is an IL-23/Th17-mediated skin disorder with a strong genetic predisposition. The impact of its susceptibility gene nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) remains unknown.

Identification of a Nonribosomal Peptide Analog With Activity Against Multiple Gram‐Positive Bacteria via a Synthetic Bioinformatic Natural Product Discovery Approach

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The genome of Rhodococcus erythropolis D‐1 was analyzed by bioinformatic tools to mine a novel nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene cluster. A nonribosomal peptide analog ZURJC5 associated with the NRPS was chemically synthesized. Through structure‐activity relationship studies, ZURJC28 was ultimately obtained and showed antibacterial activity ...

Total Chemical Synthesis of Interleukin‐15 and Interleukin‐2: Taming Protein Hydrophobicity and Aggregation by a Versatile Solubilizing Strategy

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A reducible solubilizing tag strategy (RST‐2.0) enables the synthesis, purification and ligation of difficult peptides while being readily removable just during folding, which overcomes the common challenges from protein hydrophobicity and aggregation. With this method, we achieved the first total synthesis of native and N‐glycosylated IL‐15 as well as

Light‐Activated Ruthenium Nanoclusters Reprogram the Metabolic‐Quorum Sensing Axis for Precision Periodontitis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Under 660 nm visible light, Ru NCs efficiently photocatalyze nitrate‐to‐ammonium conversion and modulate oral nitrogen metabolism. They precisely perturb Veillonella parvula, block its key support to Porphyromonas gingivalis, and exert an “inhibiting without killing” antivirulence effect.

Fundamental Understanding of Oxidative Stability in Fluorinated Asymmetric Ethers for Li Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
To improve Li‐metal battery electrolytes, we analyze fluorinated 1‐ethoxy‐2‐methoxyethane (FxEME) oxidative stability via density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD). Fluorination strengthens ethoxy C–H bonds and alters solvent orientation at the cathode, weakening interfacial interactions.

Post‐Translational Isoaspartate Promotes Amyloid Formation in β2‐Microglobulin

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Chemical synthesis of five β2‐microglobulin (β2m) variants reveals the structural impact of Asn deamidation. By introducing Asp or isoAsp at susceptible Asn‐Gly sequences, we demonstrate that isoAsp17 formation specifically accelerates amyloid fibril formation, highlighting its potential contribution to dialysis‐related amyloidosis.

Prediction of Structural Stability of Layered Oxide Cathode Materials: Combination of Machine Learning and Ab Initio Thermodynamics

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, we developed a phase‐stability predictor by combining machine learning and ab initio thermodynamics approaches, and identified the key factors determining the favorable phase for a given composition. Specifically, a lower TM ionic potential, higher Na content, and higher mixing entropy favor the O3 phase.

A Non‐Covalent [4Fe–4S]/[2Fe] Interface in HydF Guides [FeFe]‐Hydrogenase Maturation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Bridged or not? 57Fe NRVS reveals a non‐covalent, electronically coupled interaction between the HydF [4Fe–4S] cluster and the [2Fe] precursor. Boltz‐2 structure predictions suggest that the cubane organizes lipoate‐dependent Hmet chemistry, positioning intermediates for assembly of the CH2–NH–CH2 bridge during H‐cluster biosynthesis.
