Intrinsic disorder refers to segments or whole proteins that fail self-fold into fixed 3D structure, with such sometimes existing in the native state. Here we report data on relationships among intrinsic disorder, sequence complexity as measured by Shannon's entropy, and amino acid composition. identified protein crystal structures, nuclear magnetic resonance, circular dichroism, prediction from sequence, all exhibit similar distributions are shifted lower values compared to, but...

In this study, we overcame a challenge in conventional self-assembly of macrocycles that uses ditopic 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (tpy) building blocks with 120° angle between two ligating moieties, which generally produces mixture multiple instead single hexagon. Two supramolecular hexagon wreaths, [Zn9LA6] and [Zn12LB6], were designed self-assembled from tritopic tetratopic tpy ligands Zn(II) ions, respectively. These multitopic ligands, bearing binding sites, increased the total density...

Electrochemical reduction reaction of nitrate (NITRR) provides a sustainable route toward the green synthesis ammonia. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to achieve high-performance electrocatalysts for NITRR especially at low overpotentials. In this work, hierarchical nanospheres consisting polycrystalline Iridium&copper (Ir&Cu) and amorphous Cu2O (CuxIryOz NS) have been fabricated. The optimal species Cu0.86Ir0.14Oz delivers excellent catalytic performance with desirable NH3 yield rate...
Abstract Electrochemically promoted nitrate reduction reaction (NITRR) holds great potential for the “green” synthesis of ammonia (NH 3 ). However, NITRR in neutral media, though close to practical scenario, is often limited by an insufficient supply active hydrogen (*H) due sluggish water cleavage. In this work, it demonstrated that a bimetallic alloy FeIr can optimize trade‐off between and *H formation media. As result, exhibits excellent catalytic performance toward with Faradaic...

For a giant magnetostrictive rod under the action of multiple physical loads, such as an external magnetic field, temperature and axial pre-stress, this paper proposes general one-dimensional nonlinear magneto-thermo-mechanical coupled constitutive model. This model is based on Taylor expansion elastic Gibbs free energy material thermodynamic relations from perspective macro continuum mechanics. Predictions made using are in good agreement with experimental data for magnetization strain...

Fullerene-based liquid crystalline materials have both the excellent optical and electrical properties of fullerene self-organization external-field-responsive crystals (LCs). Herein, we demonstrate a new family thermotropic [60]fullerene supramolecular LCs with hierarchical structures. The dyads undergo driven by π-π interactions to form triple-layer two-dimensional (2D) sandwiched between layers alkyl chains. lamellar packing 2D gives rise formation LCs. This design strategy should be...
