Unraveling G‐Quadruplex and i‐Motif Coexistence Within a Double‐Stranded DNA
The relative thermodynamic profiles of G‐quadruplex (G4), i‐Motif (iM), and the duplex counterpart tune the simultaneous G4 and iM formation within a double‐stranded (ds) DNA. ABSTRACT DNA can transiently fold into variable arrangements, which are expected to exploit regulatory functions. Guanine‐rich sequences can fold into G‐quadruplexes (G4s), while

Natural Aging of Biomaterials in Ambient and Physiological Environments
Biomaterials used in biomedical applications can change their physical properties over time, even under ambient and physiological conditions. This review highlights key studies on the natural aging of materials ranging from soft hydrogels to metals and ceramics, emphasizing how time‐dependent changes influence function and performance.

A regio‐ and diastereoselective method for strain‐release pentafluorosulfanylation of carbonyl‐containing 1,3‐disubstituted [1.1.0]bicyclobutanes (BCBs) was developed that led to several fortuitous discoveries. For instance, the resultant SF5‐cyclobutanes (SF5‐CBs) exhibit close SF5⋯C═X contacts (X = C, N, O) and provide synthetic access to a new class

While cysteine is widely employed as a nucleophilic handle for peptide modification, the electrophilicity of the oxidized form, cystine, is rarely exploited. This study describes a mild, photochemical coupling of sulfinate salts with peptide disulfides.

Using a ketal‐protected glycerol derivative (solketal) as the oxidation substrate enables site‐selective electrooxidation that suppresses C–C cleavage on non‐noble catalysts. Highly alkaline conditions promote reactive solketal alkoxide formation, weaken the Cα─H bond to facilitate dehydrogenation, and buffer local acidification, enabling a record‐high
