The Role of Torsional Dynamics on Hole and Exciton Stabilization in π‐Stacked Assemblies: Design of Rigid Torsionomers of a Cofacial Bifluorene [PDF]
Exciton and charge delocalization across π‐stacked assemblies is of importance in biological systems and functional polymeric materials. To examine the requirements for exciton and hole stabilization, cofacial bifluorene (F2) torsionomers were designed ...

Evidence for the weak steric hindrance scenario in the supercooled-state reorientational dynamics
We use molecular-dynamics computer simulations to study the translational and reorientational dynamics of a glass-forming liquid of dumbbells. For sufficiently elongated molecules the standard strong steric hindrance scenario for the rotational dynamics ...

Syntheses and Steric Hindrances in 13β-Isopropylgonanes
dl-18, 18-Dimethylestradiol 3-methyl ether (XII), dl-18, 18-dimethyl-19-nortestosterone (II) and their derivatives were synthesized starting from 1-vinyl-6-methoxy-1-tetralol (III) and 2-isopropyl-1, 3-crclopentanedione (IV). The steric effect of the 13-isopropyl group over 17-position was observed in every kind of reactions in this series. Both II and

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These
