Harnessing Non‐Covalent Protein–Protein Interaction Domains for Production of Biocatalytic Materials Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Non‐covalent protein–protein interactions mediated by SH3, PDZ, or GBD domains enable the self‐assembly of stable and biocatalytically active hydrogel materials. These soft materials can be processed into monodisperse foams that, once dried, exhibit enhanced mechanical stability and activity and are easily integrated into microstructured flow ...

Siloxane‐Functionalized Silicon Phthalocyanine OTFTs: High Hole Mobility and Unexpected p‐Type Character

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this paper, the first use of a siloxane‐substituted silicon phthalocyanine (iso(Si3O)2SiPc) in OTFTs is reported. Moreover, this compound displays the highest hole mobility (exceeding 1 cm2 V−1 s−1) ever recorded for SiPc, and the GIWAXS study reveals thin films with an exceptionally uniform crystalline texture.
