Conformational Change in a Four‐Tetrad DNA G‐Quadruplex upon Intercalation of a Small‐Molecule Ligand PyDH2

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An exception or the rule? This work represents a second observation, and the first crystallographic evidence, of true intercalation of a small‐molecule ligand (here, bisquinolinium PyDH2) into an antiparallel G‐quadruplex (G4) DNA fold. Abstract G‐quadruplexes (G4s) are non‐canonical DNA structures implicated in a number of biological processes.

Designing the Self‐Assembly of Disordered Materials Via Color Frustration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
What if disorder can be designed? This work introduces a strategy to self‐assemble amorphous materials by designing bonding rules for patchy particles that suppress crystallinity and promote frustration. The designer particles nucleate a network of dodecahedral cages from the liquid, yielding a novel equilibrium amorphous phase. This approach redefines

Thermodynamics of Water Displacement from Binding Sites and its Contributions to Supramolecular and Biomolecular Affinity

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The affinity between a guest and a macrocyclic host depends strongly on the water encapsulated inside the host cavity, with free‐energy variations on the order of 20 kcal mol−1 being possible even in the absence of direct host‐guest interactions. This conclusion–which contrasts alternative views–can be drawn from molecular dynamics simulations for the ...

Taxonomy of Chemical Bondings: Opportunities and Challenges

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The recent focus on supramolecular and nanosized systems produced a major increase in the types of observed noncovalent interactions and in the diversity of terms used to designate them. A hierarchical categorization (taxonomy) of terms used to designate electrophile···nucleophile interactions is proposed here.

Growth Factor‐Loaded Mesoporous Silica Particles, Incorporated in Electrospun PCL Fibres, Provide Topographical and Chemical Cues for Tendon Tissue Engineering

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electrospinning enables the hierarchical assembly of nanofiber‐based scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, encapsulated proteins often undergo structural changes. This study used mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as protective carriers, mitigating protein denaturation and supporting controlled release.

Bimetallic Plasmonic Nanozyme‐Based Microneedle for Synergistic Ferroptosis Therapy of Melanoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A microneedle (MN) patch that integrates novel bimetallic plasmonic nanozyme (BPNzyme) and traditional Chinese medicine β‐elemene (β‐ELE) has been rationally designed for ferroptosis pathway‐dependent combined therapy of melanoma. Abstract Melanoma is the most common malignant skin tumor, characterized by complexity, invasiveness, and heterogeneity ...
