Molecular‐Level Modulation of Proton Transport via Electron‐Proton Coupling in Bio‐p‐n Junctions

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2026.
We developed a pH‐sensing device capable of operating in biological environments. A biohybrid p–n junction was constructed using bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and the photoconductive polymer poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT). Under light illumination, the photocurrent exhibits distinct transitions across various pH gradients, demonstrating the system's high ...

Molecular filming: A director's grammar for visualizing chemistry in motion

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, Volume 47, Issue 9, Page 1042-1057, September 2026.
Molecular filming names the practice, not just the product, of ultrafast structural science. In deliberate analogy to molecular editing, which rewrites connectivity in space, molecular filming records geometry in time, assembling time‐ordered structural frames into a movie of atomic motion and recasting the field as a grammar of directorial choices ...

Deep Mutational Scanning for the Study and Engineering of Protein Assemblies

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review explores how deep mutational scanning (DMS) can be used to improve understanding and accelerate engineering of protein assemblies, from natural fibers to engineered nanocages. We discuss various types of protein assemblies and their characterization, provide an introduction to the DMS technique, and then highlight examples in which DMS has ...

Decoding the Hot‐Mitochondrion Paradox

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 7, July 2026.
A distributed mechanism of mitochondrial heat generation is proposed in which all ion‐translocating proteins embedded within the inner mitochondrial membrane contribute to localized heat generation. All ion‐translocating proteins embedded within the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM)—with ATP synthase shown here as an example—are proposed to function ...

Scotty: lattice coincidences in the Protein Data Bank

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 824-835, July 2026.
Scotty supports crystallographic comparisons of lattice coincidences, the interpretation of oligomeric assemblies and paracrystallinity.The application Scotty, implemented within the Phasertng codebase, was used to perform a PDB‐wide analysis of lattice coincidences.

Es werde Licht! Licht als Antrieb und Regulator in synthetischen Zellen

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 24, 8 June 2026.
Zellen sind Systeme außerhalb des Gleichgewichts, die ihre Eigenschaften in Raum und Zeit regulieren. In biomimetischen synthetischen Zellen bietet Licht eine einzigartige Möglichkeit, Vorgänge räumlich und zeitlich anzutreiben und zu kontrollieren.

Let There be Light! Light as an Engine and Regulator in Synthetic Cells

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 24, 8 June 2026.
Cells are out‐of‐equilibrium systems that regulate their spatiotemporal features. In biomimetic synthetic cells, light offers a unique way for energizing and regulating events in space and time. This review explores the implementation of light‐responsive tools in synthetic cells to replicate biological functions and enable new bioinspired behaviors ...
