Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Green Synthesis of Pyridyl Conjugated Microporous Polymers as Precursors for Porous Carbon Microspheres for Efficient Electrochemical Energy Storage

ChemElectroChem, 2020
Efficient materials for electrochemical energy storage have received much attention. Herein we report a green metal‐free route to synthesize pyridyl conjugated microporous polymers (PCMPs) as precursors for nitrogen‐doped porous carbon microspheres (NCMs)

Mechanically Strong, Freeze‐Resistant, and Ionically Conductive Organohydrogels for Flexible Strain Sensors and Batteries

Advanced Science, 2023
Conductive hydrogels as promising material candidates for soft electronics have been rapidly developed in recent years. However, the low ionic conductivity, limited mechanical properties, and insufficient freeze‐resistance greatly limit their ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Self-adaptable mechanical ceramic fibrous aerogels from prestressed topology and multistable constraints

Nature Communications
Ceramic aerogels, widely used as thermal insulation materials, are renowned for their remarkable characteristics, including ultralight weight and ultralow thermal conductivity. However, their application is often limited by susceptibility to damage under

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

AlN-based aerogel thermo-cooler enabled by enhanced phonon conduction and unconstrained liquid capillarity

Nature Communications
Transpiration cooling is a thermal management technique that utilizes the phase change of liquid coolant to effectively dissipate heat. Porous ceramic media play a crucial role in this cooling process by facilitating liquid transport and heat exchange ...
