Abstract Hydrocracking catalysis is a key route to plastic waste upgrading, but the acid site‐driven C−C cleavage step relatively sluggish in conventional bifunctional catalysts, dramatically effecting overall efficiency. We demonstrate here facile and efficient way boost reactivity of sites by introducing Ce promoters into Pt/HY thus achieving better metal‐acid balance. Remarkably, 100 % low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) can be converted with 80.9 selectivity liquid fuels over obtained...
Astragalus membranaceus Bge. var. mongolicus (Bge.) Hsiao (A. mongolicus, family Leguminosae) is one of the most important traditional Chinese herbs. Among many secondary metabolites it produces, effective bioactive constituents include isoflavonoids and triterpene saponins. The genomic resources regarding biosynthesis these in A. are limited. Although roots primary material harvested for medical use, compounds its regulation not well understood. Therefore, a global transcriptome analysis on...
Seed development is an important process of reproductive and consists embryo endosperm development; both comprise several key processes. To determine investigate the functions dynamic DNA methylome during seed development, we profiled methylation genome wide in a series developmental stages rice (Oryza sativa) by methylcytosine immunoprecipitation followed Illumina sequencing. The results showed that hypermethylated predominantly around non-transposable element (TE) genes, short DNA-TEs,...
Abstract Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have important therapeutic value in long-term clinical practice. However, because TCMs contain diverse ingredients and complex effects on the human body, molecular mechanisms of are poorly understood. In this work, we determined gene expression profiles cells response to TCM components investigate activities at cellular levels. MCF7 were separately treated with 102 different molecules from TCMs, their compared Connectivity Map (CMAP). To...
Abstract The reverse water‐gas shift reaction (RWGS) has been regarded as a promising approach for fighting climate change caused by the excessive emission of greenhouse gas CO 2 , but it still suffers from relatively poor low‐temperature reactivity. Herein, high‐performance RWGS catalyst composed ultrasmall Pt clusters (1.38 nm on average) anchored La O 3 support (Pt NC /LOC), which possesses record production rate 2678 mol −1 h with nearly 100% selectivity at 300 °C, is reported. specific...
We constructed a library of diarylsydnone (DASyd) candidates in search photoclickable reaction toward alkynes, enabling an ultra-accelerated reactivity, while suppressing the background cycloaddition dark. The vitro and vivo protein labelling experiments revealed that photo-accelerated DASyd-alkyne exhibits robust selectivity.
Abstract By exploiting the scope of dipolarophiles, we discovered that endo ‐bicyclo[6.1.0]non‐4‐yn‐9‐ylmethanol (BCN) is an appropriate chemical reporter for 2,5‐diaryltetrazole (DATet) based photoclick reaction, which proceeds via ultrafast cycloaddition rate (∼10 5 M −1 s ). Introduction a 2,6‐(CF 3 ) 2 phenyl moiety on C ‐position tetrazole core brings significant improvement selectivity toward BCN without loss reactivity. The high benefits from combination steric and electrostatic...
Ultra-fast and selective covalent-bond forming reactions with spatiotemporal controllability are foundational for developing a bioorthogonal approach high manipulability. However, it is challenging to exploit reporter functional group achieve these requirements simultaneously. Here, 11H-Dibenzo[c,f][1,2]diazepine set of heterocyclic analogues investigated both their photo-switching natures ability serve as dipolarophiles in photo-click diarylsydnone. Sulfur-containing dibenzothiadiazepine...
Abstract Plants are unique with tremendous chemical diversity and metabolic complexity, which is highlighted by estimates that green plants collectively produce metabolites numbering in the millions. Plant play crucial roles all aspects of plant biology, like growth, development, stress responses, etc. However, lack a reference metabolome for plants, paucity high-quality standard compound spectral libraries related analytical tools, have hindered discovery functional study phytochemicals...
A photo-induced 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between nitrile imine and highly ring-strained N[double bond, length as m-dash]N double bond a dipolarophile was discovered. The photo-isomerization of carbon-bridged octocyclic azobenzene (CBOA) into its trans-configuration accelerates the ligation reaction at very rapid rate (28 400 M-1 s-1). CBOA-based photo-click proved to be bioorthogonal. In addition, NoxaB peptide successfully cross-linked by CBOA stapler which plays dual role: photo-control...
Abstract Background Astragalus membranaceus Bge. var. mongolicus (Bge.) Hsiao is one of the most common herbs widely used in South and East Asia, to enhance people’s health reinforce vital energy. Despite its prevalence, however, knowledge about phytochemical compositions metabolite biosynthesis very limited.

GOLDEN2-LIKE (GLK) transcription factors are a subfamily of GARP family factors, which play an essential function in plant growth and development as well stress response during abiotic biotic conditions. This study reports GLK genes the Arabidopsis thaliana genome in-depth identified 55 AtGLK genome. Phylogenetic analyses resolved these gene clusters into seven groups. A Ka/Ks ratios analysis indicated that they had experienced purifying selection. Many cis elements present promoter regions...
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a prevailing genetic disorder of intellectual disability and autism. There no efficacious medication for FXS. Through in silico screening with public database, computational analysis transcriptome profile FXS mouse neurons predicts therapeutic value an FDA-approved drug trifluoperazine. Systemic administration low-dose trifluoperazine at 0.05 mg/kg attenuates multiple FXS- autism-related behavioral symptoms. Moreover, alteration caused by suggests new mechanism...
Herein, we design and synthesize a series of photoactivatable β-diarylsydnone-l-alanines (DASAs), which have excellent photo-reactivity with high fluorescence turn-on toward alkenes in biocompatible environment.
