Transmembrane Activation of Catalysis and Protein Refolding in Synthetic Cells by Enzymes and Nanozymes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Synthetic cells are engineered herein to respond to an external chemical messenger by the activation of intracellular catalysis. The chemical messenger molecules are catalytically generated by an extracellular enzyme or a mineral surface, whereas the intracellular catalysis emerges via direct enzyme activation or via protein refolding.

Thiol‐Modulation‐Induced Mesoporous Nanosheets with an Alloy/Intermetallic Heterophase for Efficient Electrochemical Ethylene Glycol‐Assisted Water Splitting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sulfur‐capped mesoporous PtPbBi nanosheets (S‐PtPbBi MNSs) with an alloy/intermetallic compound heterophase and inhomogeneous tensile strain (≈3%) were synthesized by a thiol modification strategy, which exhibited excellent electrocatalytic performance for ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR).

Rational Design of Unsaturated, Thioether Ionizable Lipids for Enhanced In Vivo mRNA Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have rapidly become the delivery system of choice for RNA therapeutics. Here, a rational design approach is taken to improve the effectiveness of LNPs based on an ionizable thioether lipid library. The incorporation of unsaturated tails and bulkier, hydrophobic head groups significantly enhances their functionality and ...
