Abstract Molecular recognition and discrimination of carbohydrates are important because perform essential roles in most living organisms for energy metabolism cell-to-cell communication. Nevertheless, it is difficult to identify or distinguish various carbohydrate molecules owing the lack a significant distinction physical chemical characteristics. Although there has been considerable effort develop sensing platform individual selectively using receptors an ensemble array, their detection...
Abstract The bioorthogonality of tetrazole photoclick chemistry has been reassessed. Upon photolysis a tetrazole, the highly reactive nitrile imine formed undergoes rapid nucleophilic reaction with variety nucleophiles present in biological system, along expected cycloaddition alkenes. alternative use was thus explored: tetrazoles were incorporated into Bodipy and Acedan dyes, providing novel photo‐crosslinkers one‐ two‐photon fluorescence Turn‐ON properties that may be developed...
Abstract Molecular aggregates are receiving tremendous attention, demonstrating immense potential for biomedical applications in vitro and vivo. For instance, the molecular of conventional fluorophores influence electronic excitation states aggregates, causing characteristic photophysical property changes. A fundamental understanding this classical relationship between aggregate structures photophysics has allowed innovative biological applications. The chemical characteristics drug...
The first BODIPY library (BD) was synthesized, and a highly selective glucagon sensor, Glucagon Yellow (BD-105), discovered by fluorescence image-based screening method. BD synthesized via Knoevenagel-type condensation reaction with 160 benzaldehydes the 1,3 dimethyl-BODIPY scaffold. Using compounds, performed against three cell lines including AlphaTC1 BetaTC6 cells which secret insulin, respectively, HeLa as control cells. Out of candidate probes, one compound, Yellow, exhibited staining...
Abstract As a candidate for rapid detection of biomaterials, terahertz (THz) spectroscopy system can be considered with some advantage in non-destructive, label-free, and non-contact manner. Because protein-ligand binding energy is the THz range, especially, most important conformational information molecular interactions captured by electromagnetic wave. Based on time-domain system, nano-metamaterial sensing chips were prepared great enhancing sensitivity. A metamaterial chip was designed...
A cell is the smallest functional unit of life. All forms life rely on cellular processes to maintain normal functions, and changes in function induced by metabolic disturbances, physicochemical damage, infection, or abnormal gene expression may cause disease. To understand basic biology develop therapeutics for diseases, researchers need study live cells. Along with advances fluorescence microscopy vitro culture, live-cell imaging has become an essential tool modern molecular events....
Abstract The design of the first dual‐purpose activity‐based probe monoamine oxidase B (MAO‐B) is reported. This highly selective towards MAO‐B, even at high MAO‐A expression levels, and could sensitively report endogenous MAO‐B activities by both in situ proteome profiling live‐cell bioimaging. With a built‐in imaging module as part design, was able to accomplish what all previously reported probes failed do thus far: without encountering diffusion problems.
Abstract Target‐identification phenotypic screening has been a powerful approach in drug discovery; however, it is hindered by difficulties identifying the underlying cellular targets. To address this challenge, we have combined of fully functionalized small‐molecule library with competitive affinity‐based proteome profiling to map and functionally characterize targets hits. Using approach, identified ANXA2, PDIA3/4, FLAD1, NOS2 as primary two bioactive molecules that inhibit cancer cell...
A proper intracellular delivery method with target tissue specificity is critical to utilize the full potential of therapeutic molecules including siRNAs while minimizing their side effects. Herein, we prepare four small-sized DNA tetrahedrons (sTds) by self-assembly different sugar backbone-modified oligonucleotides and screened them develop a platform for kidney-targeted cytosolic siRNA. An in vivo biodistribution study revealed kidney-specific accumulation mirror tetrahedron (L-sTd). Low...
The combinatorial approach: A library of fluorescent styryl dyes (320 compounds) was prepared by solid-phase chemistry. were screened for their detection amyloid aggregates, which are associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's, and two the 320 compounds screened, 2C40 2E10, showed promise brain-imaging agents (see microscopy image).

Abstract Recent evidence suggests that tau aggregates are not only neurotoxic, but also propagate in neurons acting as a seed for native aggregation. Prion-like transmission is now considered an important pathogenic mechanism driving the progression of pathology brain. However, prion-like species have been clearly characterized. To identify infectious conformers, here we prepared diverse and evaluated effect on inducing intracellular tau-aggregation. Among tested, dimer containing...
Abstract Affinity‐based probes (A f BPs) provide a powerful tool for large‐scale chemoproteomic studies of drug–target interactions. The development high‐quality capable recapitulating genuine engagement, however, could be challenging. “Minimalist” photo‐crosslinkers, which contain an alkyl diazirine group and chemically tractable tag, alleviate such challenges, but few are currently available. Herein, we have developed new diazirine‐containing photo‐crosslinkers with different bioorthogonal...
