Backbone Heterojunction Photocatalysts for Efficient Sacrificial Hydrogen Production
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Herein, a ‘single‐component’ organic semiconductor photocatalyst is presented in which a molecular donor is bonded to a polymer acceptor. The resultant material demonstrates exceptional photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution in aqueous triethylamine with an outstanding external quantum efficiency of 38% at 420 nm.

The cellular protein nucleolin preferentially binds long-looped G-quadruplex nucleic acids [PDF]
, 2017 open5noBACKGROUND: G-quadruplexes (G4s) are four-stranded nucleic acid structures that form in G-rich sequences. Nucleolin (NCL) is a cellular protein reported for its functions upon G4 recognition, such as induction of neurodegenerative diseases, tumor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The study explores structural and magnetic properties of one of the most recent topological quantum materials (MnBi2Te4). The Mn‐poor structure leads to stacking faults (quintuple layer ‐ QL of Bi2Te3 formation instead of a septuple layer ‐ SL of MnBi2Te4), resulting in a coexistence between weak antiferromagnetism and ferromagnetism.

Single-Molecule Analysis of i-motif Within Self-Assembled DNA Duplexes and Nanocircles [PDF]
, 2019 The cytosine (C)-rich sequences that can fold into tetraplex structures known as i-motif are prevalent in genomic DNA. Recent studies of i-motif–forming sequences have shown increasing evidence of their roles in gene regulation.

Halogen Bonding in Nucleic Acid Complexes
, 2017 Halogen bonding (X-bonding) has attracted notable attention among noncovalent interactions. This highly directional attraction between a halogen atom and an electron donor has been exploited in knowledge-based drug design. A great deal of information has

Coexistence of two main folded G-quadruplexes within a single G-rich domain in the EGFR promoter [PDF]
, 2017 EGFR is an oncogene which codifies for a tyrosine kinase receptor that represents an important target for anticancer therapy. Indeed, several human cancers showed an upregulation of the activity of this protein.

Mapping and characterization of G-quadruplexes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis gene promoter regions [PDF]
, 2017 Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide in 2015. The recent emergence of strains resistant to all current drugs urges the development of compounds with new mechanisms of action ...

NMR Studies of G-Quadruplex Structures and G-Quadruplex-Interactive Compounds [PDF]
, 2019 G-quadruplexes are noncanonical, four-stranded nucleic acid secondary structures formed in sequences containing consecutive runs of guanines. These G-quadruplex structures have been found to form in nucleic acid regions of biological significance, including human telomeres, gene promoters, and untranslated regions of mRNA.

Multiple Twinning in Nacre and Aragonite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Electron backscatter diffraction map of a cluster of geologic aragonite, exhibiting single, double, and triple twins. The whole cluster is approximately 2 cm wide. Colors indicate crystal orientations, so that pixels where the a‐, b‐, and c‐axis is perpendicular to the image plane are green, red, and blue, respectively.
