Fabrication of free-standing multilayer films by using pH-responsive microgels as sacrificial layers

A facile way to prepare free-standing polyelectrolyte multilayer films of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)(PSS)/poly(diallyldimethylammonium)(PDDA) was developed by applying a new pH-dependent sacrificial system based on cross-linked poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) microgels. The tertiary amine groups of PDMAEMA microgels can be protonated in acidic environment, and the protonated microgels were deposited by layer-by-layer (LbL) technique with PSS. PSS/PDDA multilayer films were constructed on the top of the PSS/microgels sacrificial layers. The LbL assembly process was investigated by UV–vis spectroscopy. Further study shows that the free-standing PSS/PDDA multilayer films can be obtained within 3 min by treating the as-prepared films in alkali aqueous solution with a pH of 12.0. The pH-triggered exfoliation of PSS/PDDA multilayer films provides a simple and facile way to prepare LbL assembled free-standing multilayer films.     

An oxovanadium(IV) complex with o-vanillin-valine Schiff base and 1,10-phenanthroline ligands: synthesis,crystal structure and DNA interactions

A new mixed-ligand V(IV) complex, [VO(o-Van-Val)(phen)]·CH₃CN (o-Van-val = Schiff base derived from o-vanillin and l-valine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), was synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal, the V(IV) atom is six-coordinated by one oxo ligand, two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom from a valine Schiff base ligand, and two nitrogen atoms from 1,10-phenanthroline, giving a distorted octahedral arrangement. The DNA-binding properties of the complex were investigated by spectroscopic methods and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that the oxovanadium(IV) complex binds to DNA in an intercalation mode.

Fabrication of Pascal-triangle Lattice of Proteins by Inducing Ligand Strategy

A protein Pascal triangle has been constructed as new type of supramolecular architecture by using the inducing ligand strategy that we previously developed for protein assemblies. Although mathematical studies on this famous geometry have a long history, no work on such Pascal triangles fabricated from native proteins has been reported so far due to their structural complexity. In this work, by carefully tuning the specific interactions between the native protein building block WGA and the inducing ligand R-SL , a 2D Pascal-triangle lattice with three types of triangular voids has been assembled. Moreover, a 3D crystal structure was obtained based on the 2D Pascal triangles. The distinctive carbohydrate binding sites of WGA and the intralayer as well as interlayer dimerization of RhB was the key to facilitate nanofabrication in solution. This strategy may be applied to prepare and explore various sophisticated assemblies based on native proteins.     

Chromophore-Assisted Proximity Labeling of DNA Reveals Chromosomal Organization in Living Cells

The spatial arrangement of chromosome within the nucleus is linked to genome function and gene expression regulation. Existing genome-wide mapping methods often rely on chemically crosslinking DNA with protein baits, which raises concerns of artifacts being introduced during cell fixation. By genetically targeting a photosensitizer protein to specific subnuclear locations, we achieved blue-light-activated labeling of local DNA with a bioorthogonal functional handle for affinity purification and sequence identification through next-generation sequencing. When applied to the nuclear lamina in human embryonic kidney 293T cells, it revealed lamina-associated domains (LADs) that cover 37.6 % of the genome. These LADs overlap with heterochromatin hallmarks and are depleted with CpG islands. This simple labeling method avoids the harsh treatment of chemical crosslinking and is generally applicable to the genome-wide high-resolution mapping of the spatial chromosome organization in living cells.     

A Non-Conjugated Polymer Acceptor for Efficient and Thermally Stable All-Polymer Solar Cells

A non-conjugated polymer acceptor PF1-TS4 was firstly synthesized by embedding a thioalkyl segment in the mainchain, which shows excellent photophysical properties on par with a fully conjugated polymer, with a low optical band gap of 1.58 eV and a high absorption coefficient >10⁵ cm⁻¹, a high LUMO level of −3.89 eV, and suitable crystallinity. Matched with the polymer donor PM6, the PF1-TS4-based all-PSC achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.63 %, which is ≈45 % higher than that of a device based on the small molecule acceptor counterpart IDIC16. Moreover, the PF1-TS4-based all-PSC has good thermal stability with ≈70 % of its initial PCE retained after being stored at 85 °C for 180 h, while the IDIC16-based device only retained ≈50 % of its initial PCE when stored at 85 °C for only 18 h. Our work provides a new strategy to develop efficient polymer acceptor materials by linkage of conjugated units with non-conjugated thioalkyl segments.
