Optimization of CEST MRI Reporter Protein Design Using Cation‐Pi Networks
A novel engineering approach can produce reporter proteins for cell and viral therapy tracking with unique magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signatures, detectable with chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). We discover how cation‐π interactions between amino acid groups can help us fine‐tune magnetic resonance properties for noninvasive ...

Conformational restriction strategies to increase the activity and selectivity of the STAT5b inhibitor Stafib‐2 are presented. The best conformationally restricted inhibitor Stafib‐2‐CR has threefold higher activity against STAT5b than Stafib‐2. A cell‐permeable prodrug of Stafib‐2‐CR inhibits phosphorylation of STAT5b in cultured human leukemia cells ...

Just as fingerprints reveal identity, spectroscopic fingerprints reveal molecular secrets. In this article, we show parts of the unique fingerprint of the sulfur–aromatic interaction. By measuring how this force alters the electronic structure of gas‐phase peptides, we provide a fundamental understanding of interactions that give insights into the ...

Using kanamycin A as a model target, we developed click‐capture SELEX to identify nucleobase‐modified aptamers capable of binding small molecules in solution. This approach enables flexible incorporation of nucleobase modifications via CuAAC, allowing the chemical properties of the aptamer to be tailored to the target molecule.
