Development of “Imprint-and-Report” Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries for Differential Sensing Applications

Herein, we demonstrate a unique sensor array approach using “imprint-and-report” DCLs that obviates the need for receptor synthesis and isolation.

Principle of Chirality Hierarchy in Three-Blade Propeller Systems

In this work, we confirm the validity of this principle in the three-blade propeller molecular system.

Crosslinking mass spectrometry unveils novel interactions and structural distinctions in the model green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Herein, the global interactome of the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was analyzed via XL-MS by implementing the MS-cleavable disuccinimidyl sulfoxide (DSSO) crosslinker and enriching for crosslinks using strong cation exchange chromatography.

Controlling Amphiphilic Polymer Folding beyond the Primary Structure with Protein-Mimetic Di(Phenylalanine)

Using a bioinspired di(phenylalanine) acrylamide (FF) monomer, we explored the impact of various noncovalent interactions in generating ordered assembled structures.

Ionic Fluorogels for Remediation of Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances from Water

Motivated by the limitations in selectivity and performance of current PFAS removal technologies, we report a platform approach for the development of ionic fluorogel resins that effectively remove a chemically diverse mixture of PFAS from water.

Mechanistic Insight into the Stereoselective Cationic Polymerization of Vinyl Ethers

Herein, we provide a deeper understanding of stereoselective ion-pairing polymerization through comprehensive experimental and computational studies.

Controlling Amphiphilic Polymer Folding beyond the Primary Structure with Protein-Mimetic Di(Phenylalanine)

Using a bioinspired di(phenylalanine) acrylamide (FF) monomer, we explored the impact of various noncovalent interactions in generating ordered assembled structures.

Electrodeposition of ligand-free copper nanoparticles from aqueous nanodroplets

Here, we extend nanodroplet-mediated electrodeposition to the electrodeposition of copper nanoparticles from aqueous nanodroplets suspended in 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate ([TBA][PF6]) and 1,2-dichloroethane.

Evolution of Polymyxin Resistance Regulates Colibactin Production in Escherichia coli

Herein, we demonstrate that polymyxin B, a last resort antibiotic, influences the production of the genotoxic metabolite colibactin from adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) NC101.

Lithographically Patterning Hybrid Perovskite Single Crystals by Surface-Engineered Amino-Deliquescence/Efflorescence

Here, we demonstrate a hybrid top-down/bottom-up approach to patterning single-crystal HP microstructures.

Determining the Overpotential of Electrochemical Fuel Synthesis Mediated by Molecular Catalysts: Recommended Practices, Standard Reduction Potentials, and Challenges

This Review details approaches for the determination of thermodynamic potentials for common fuel-forming reactions and for the determination of electrochemical overpotential, and underscores the need to employ methods that enable meaningful comparisons between molecular catalysts.

Injectable non-leaching tissue-mimetic bottlebrush elastomers as an advanced platform for reconstructive surgery

Herein, we leverage the brush-like polymer architecture to design and administer minimally invasive injectable elastomers that cure in vivo into leachable-free implants with mechanical properties matching the surrounding tissue.
