Niobium sulvanites Cu3NbX4 (X = S, Se) have been theoretically predicted as promising candidates for solar photovoltaics and photocatalytic water splitting. This report outlines the first synthesis of Cu3NbS4 and Cu3NbSe4 in a nanocrystalline form. The crystal structures were investigated by X-ray diffraction, identity was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, and the optoelectronic properties and morphology of Cu3NbS4 and Cu3NbSe4 nanocrystals were examined by UV–vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. To gain insight into the Cu3NbX4 formation, a mechanistic study was conducted for Cu3NbSe4 monitoring the nanoparticles’ formation as a function of reaction time. Methylene blue photodegradation tests were conducted to evaluate the photoactivity of Cu3NbS4 and Cu3NbSe4. The degradation rates, 2.81 × 10–2 min–1 and 1.22 × 10–2 min–1 proved the photocatalysts’ potential of nanoscale Cu3NbX4.

硫铌酸盐Cu3NbX4(X=S,Se)在理论上被预测为太阳能光伏和光催化分解水的有前途的候选者。本报告概述了首次合成纳米晶形式的Cu3NbS4和Cu3NbSe4。通过X射线衍射研究了晶体结构,通过拉曼光谱证实了其一致性,并分别通过紫外-可见光谱和透射电子显微镜检查了Cu3NBC4和Cu3NbSe4纳米晶的光电性能和形态。为了深入了解Cu3NbX4的形成,对Cu3NbSe4进行了机理研究,监测纳米颗粒的形成与反应时间的关系。亚甲蓝光降解试验评价了Cu3NbS4和Cu3NbSe4的光活性。2.81×10–2 min–1和1.22×10–2min–1的降解速率证明了纳米Cu3NbX4的光催化剂潜力。

Information processing by traditional, serial electronic processors consumes an ever-increasing part of the global electricity supply. An alternative, highly energy efficient, parallel computing paradigm is network-based biocomputation (NBC). In NBC a given combinatorial problem is encoded into a nanofabricated, modular network. Parallel exploration of the network by a very large number of independent molecular-motor-propelled protein filaments solves the encoded problem. Here we demonstrate a significant scale-up of this technology by solving four instances of Exact Cover, a nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) complete problem with applications in resource scheduling. The difficulty of the largest instances solved here is 128 times greater in comparison to the current state of the art for NBC.

Electron Transfer at Quantum Dot–Metal Oxide Interfaces for Solar Energy Conversion 太阳能转换中量子点-金属氧化物界面的电子转移
Q2 NANOSCIENCE & NANOTECHNOLOGY Pub Date : 2022-06-22 DOI: 10.1021/acsnanoscienceau.2c00015

Electron transfer at a donor–acceptor quantum dot–metal oxide interface is a process fundamentally relevant to solar energy conversion architectures as, e.g., sensitized solar cells and solar fuels schemes. As kinetic competition at these technologically relevant interfaces largely determines device performance, this Review surveys several aspects linking electron transfer dynamics and device efficiency; this correlation is done for systems aiming for efficiencies up to and above the ∼33% efficiency limit set by Shockley and Queisser for single gap devices. Furthermore, we critically comment on common pitfalls associated with the interpretation of kinetic data obtained from current methodologies and experimental approaches, and finally, we highlight works that, to our judgment, have contributed to a better understanding of the fundamentals governing electron transfer at quantum dot–metal oxide interfaces.

在供体-受体量子点-金属氧化物界面上的电子转移是一个与太阳能转换架构(如敏化太阳能电池和太阳能燃料方案)基本相关的过程。由于这些技术相关接口的动态竞争在很大程度上决定了设备性能,本文综述了电子传递动力学和设备效率相关的几个方面;这种相关性适用于效率达到或高于肖克利和奎瑟为单间隙器件设定的效率限制33%的系统。此外,我们批判性地评论了与从当前方法和实验方法中获得的动力学数据解释相关的常见陷阱,最后,我们强调了根据我们的判断,有助于更好地理解量子点金属氧化物界面控制电子转移的基本原理的工作。

Quantitative Acoustophoresis 定量Acoustophoresis
Q2 NANOSCIENCE & NANOTECHNOLOGY Pub Date : 2022-06-22 DOI: 10.1021/acsnanoscienceau.2c00002

Studying cellular mechanics allows important insights into its cytoskeletal composition, developmental stage, and health. While many force spectroscopy assays exist that allow probing of mechanics of bioparticles, most of them require immobilization of and direct contact with the particle and can only measure a single particle at a time. Here, we introduce quantitative acoustophoresis (QAP) as a simple alternative that uses an acoustic standing wave field to directly determine cellular compressibility and density of many cells simultaneously in a contact-free manner. First, using polymeric spheres of different sizes and materials, we verify that our assay data follow the standard acoustic theory with great accuracy. We furthermore verify that our technique not only is able to measure compressibilities of living cells but can also sense an artificial cytoskeleton inside a biomimetic vesicle. We finally provide a thorough discussion about the expected accuracy our approach provides. To conclude, we show that compared to existing methods, our QAP assay provides a simple yet powerful alternative to study the mechanics of biological and biomimetic particles.

研究细胞力学可以深入了解细胞骨架组成、发育阶段和健康状况。虽然存在许多力谱分析,可以探测生物颗粒的力学,但大多数都需要固定并直接接触颗粒,并且一次只能测量单个颗粒。在这里,我们介绍定量声阻抗(QAP)作为一种简单的替代方法,它使用声驻波场以无接触的方式同时直接确定许多细胞的细胞压缩性和密度。首先,使用不同尺寸和材料的聚合物球,我们验证了我们的分析数据非常准确地遵循标准声学理论。我们进一步证实,我们的技术不仅能够测量活细胞的可压缩性,而且还可以感知仿生囊泡内的人工细胞骨架。最后,我们对我们的方法所提供的预期准确性进行了全面的讨论。总之,我们表明,与现有方法相比,我们的QAP分析提供了一种简单而强大的替代方法来研究生物和仿生颗粒的力学。

Markov State Study of Electrostatic Channeling within the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle Supercomplex 三羧酸循环超配合物静电通道的马尔可夫状态研究

The high efficiency of cascade reactions in supramolecular enzyme nanoassemblies, known as metabolons, has attracted substantial attention in various fields ranging from fundamental biochemistry and molecular biology to recent applications in biofuel cells, biosensors, and chemical synthesis. One reason for the high efficiency of metabolons is the structures formed by sequential enzymes that allow the direct transport of intermediates between consecutive active sites. The supercomplex of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and citrate synthase (CS) is an ideal example of the controlled transport of intermediates via electrostatic channeling. Here, using a combination of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and a Markov state model (MSM), we examined the transport process of the intermediate oxaloacetate (OAA) from MDH to CS. The MSM enables the identification of the dominant transport pathways of OAA from MDH to CS. Analysis of all pathways using a hub score approach reveals a small set of residues that control OAA transport. This set includes an arginine residue previously identified experimentally. MSM analysis of a mutated complex, where the identified arginine is replaced by alanine, led to a 2-fold decrease in transfer efficiency, also consistent with experimental results. This work provides a molecular-level understanding of the electrostatic channeling mechanism and will enable the further design of catalytic nanostructures utilizing electrostatic channeling.

超分子酶纳米组件中高效的级联反应,被称为代谢,已经引起了各个领域的广泛关注,从基础生物化学和分子生物学到最近在生物燃料电池、生物传感器和化学合成中的应用。代谢效率高的一个原因是由顺序酶形成的结构允许在连续活性位点之间直接运输中间体。苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)和柠檬酸合成酶(CS)的超络合物是通过静电通道控制中间体运输的理想例子。本文采用分子动力学(MD)模拟和马尔可夫状态模型(MSM)相结合的方法,研究了中间体草酰乙酸(OAA)从MDH到CS的转运过程。MSM能够确定OAA从MDH到CS的主要运输途径。使用枢纽评分方法对所有途径进行分析,揭示了控制OAA运输的一小部分残基。这一组包括精氨酸残基先前的实验鉴定。MSM分析一个突变复合体,其中鉴定的精氨酸被丙氨酸取代,导致转移效率降低2倍,也与实验结果一致。这项工作提供了对静电通道机制的分子水平的理解,并将使利用静电通道的催化纳米结构的进一步设计成为可能。

Photoresponsive Nanocarriers Based on Lithium Niobate Nanoparticles for Harmonic Imaging and On-Demand Release of Anticancer Chemotherapeutics 基于铌酸锂纳米粒子的光响应纳米载体用于谐波成像和抗癌化疗药物的按需释放

Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have the potential for increasing the efficiency of chemotherapeutics by enhancing the drug accumulation at specific target sites, thereby reducing adverse side effects and mitigating patient acquired resistance. In particular, photo-responsive nanomaterials have attracted much interest due to their ability to release molecular cargos on demand upon light irradiation. In some settings, they can also provide complementary information by optical imaging on the (sub)cellular scale. We herein present a system based on lithium niobate harmonic nanoparticles (LNO HNPs) for the decoupled multi-harmonic cell imaging and near-infrared light-triggered delivery of an erlotinib derivative (ELA) for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-overexpressing carcinomas. The ELA cargo was covalently conjugated to the surface of silica-coated LNO HNPs through a coumarinyl photo-cleavable linker, achieving a surface loading of the active molecule of 27 nmol/mg NPs. The resulting nanoconjugates (LNO-CM-ELA NPs) were successfully imaged upon pulsed laser excitation at 1250 nm in EGFR-overexpressing human prostate cancer cells DU145 by detecting the second harmonic emission at 625 nm, in the tissue transparency window. Tuning the laser at 790 nm resulted in the uncaging of the ELA cargo as a result of the second harmonic emission of the inorganic HNP core at 395 nm. This protocol induced a significant growth inhibition in DU145 cells, which was only observed upon specific irradiation at 790 nm, highlighting the promising capabilities of LNO-CM-ELA NPs for theranostic applications.

基于纳米颗粒的药物输送系统有可能通过增强特定靶点的药物积累来提高化疗效率,从而减少不良副作用并减轻患者获得性耐药。特别是,光响应纳米材料由于其在光照射下释放分子货物的能力而引起了人们的极大兴趣。在某些情况下,它们还可以通过(亚)细胞尺度的光学成像提供补充信息。本文提出了一种基于铌酸锂谐波纳米粒子(LNO HNPs)的系统,用于解耦多谐波细胞成像和近红外光触发的厄洛替尼衍生物(ELA)递送,用于治疗表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)过表达的癌。ELA货物通过香豆素基光可切割连接剂共价结合到二氧化硅涂层的LNO HNPs表面,实现了活性分子27 nmol/mg NPs的表面负载。在1250 nm脉冲激光激发下,通过检测组织透明窗口625 nm的二次谐波发射,成功地对egfr过表达的人前列腺癌细胞DU145进行了纳米偶联物(LNO-CM-ELA NPs)的成像。将激光调谐到790 nm,由于无机HNP核心在395 nm处的二次谐波发射,导致ELA货物被释放。该方案在DU145细胞中诱导了显著的生长抑制,仅在790 nm的特定照射下观察到,突出了LNO-CM-ELA NPs在治疗应用方面的潜力。

Shape-Morphing of an Artificial Protein Cage with Unusual Geometry Induced by a Single Amino Acid Change 由单个氨基酸变化诱导的具有不寻常几何形状的人工蛋白质笼的形状-变形

Artificial protein cages are constructed from multiple protein subunits. The interaction between the subunits, notably the angle formed between them, controls the geometry of the resulting cage. Here, using the artificial protein cage, “TRAP-cage”, we show that a simple alteration in the position of a single amino acid responsible for Au(I)-mediated subunit–subunit interactions in the constituent ring-shaped building blocks results in a more acute dihedral angle between them. In turn, this causes a dramatic shift in the structure from a 24-ring cage with an octahedral symmetry to a 20-ring cage with a C2 symmetry. This symmetry change is accompanied by a decrease in the number of Au(I)-mediated bonds between cysteines and a concomitant change in biophysical properties of the cage.
人工蛋白质笼由多个蛋白质亚基组成。子单元之间的相互作用,尤其是它们之间形成的角度,控制着最终笼子的几何形状。在这里,使用人工蛋白质笼,“陷阱笼”,我们表明,在组成的环状构建块中,负责Au(I)介导的亚基-亚基相互作用的单个氨基酸的位置的简单改变会导致它们之间更尖锐的二角角。反过来,这会导致结构从具有八面体对称的24环笼转变为具有C2对称的20环笼。这种对称性变化伴随着半胱氨酸之间Au(I)介导的键数的减少以及笼的生物物理性质的变化。

This symmetry change is accompanied by a decrease in the number of Au(I)-mediated bonds between cysteines and a concomitant change in biophysical properties of the cage.","PeriodicalId":29799,"journal":{"name":"ACS Nanoscience Au","volume":"2 5","pages":"404–413"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9585630/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40658050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Well-ordered spin arrays are desirable for next-generation molecule-based magnetic devices, yet their synthetic method remains a challenging task. Herein, we demonstrate the realization of two-dimensional supramolecular spin arrays on surfaces via halogen-bonding molecular self-assembly. A bromine-terminated perchlorotriphenylmethyl radical with net carbon spin was synthesized and deposited on Au(111) to achieve two-dimensional supramolecular spin arrays. By taking advantage of the diversity of halogen bonds, five supramolecular spin arrays form and are probed by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy at the single-molecule level. First-principles calculations verify that the formation of three distinct types of halogen bonds can be used to tailor supramolecular spin arrays via molecular coverage and annealing temperature. Our work suggests that supramolecular self-assembly can be a promising method to engineer two-dimensional molecular spin arrays.

有序的自旋阵列是下一代分子基磁性器件所需要的,但它们的合成方法仍然是一项具有挑战性的任务。在此,我们展示了通过卤素键分子自组装在表面上实现二维超分子自旋阵列。合成了一种具有净碳自旋的溴端过氯三苯基甲基自由基,并将其沉积在Au(111)上,实现了二维超分子自旋阵列。利用卤素键的多样性,形成了5个超分子自旋阵列,并通过低温扫描隧道显微镜在单分子水平上进行了探测。第一性原理计算证实了三种不同类型卤素键的形成可以通过分子覆盖和退火温度来定制超分子自旋阵列。我们的工作表明,超分子自组装可以是一种很有前途的方法来设计二维分子自旋阵列。

In the past few decades, nanomedicine research has advanced dramatically. In spite of this, traditional nanomedicine faces major obstacles, such as blood–brain barriers, low concentrations at target sites, and rapid removal from the body. Exosomes as natural extracellular vesicles contain special bioactive molecules for cell-to-cell communications and nervous tissue function, which could overcome the challenges of nanoparticles. Most recently, microRNAs, long noncoding RNA, and circulating RNA of exosomes have been appealing because of their critical effect on the molecular pathway of target cells. In this review, we have summarized the important role of exosomes of noncoding RNAs in the occurrence of brain diseases.

在过去的几十年里,纳米医学研究取得了巨大的进展。尽管如此,传统的纳米医学面临着主要的障碍,例如血脑屏障、靶点的低浓度以及从体内快速移除。外泌体作为天然的细胞外囊泡,含有特殊的生物活性分子,用于细胞间通讯和神经组织功能,可以克服纳米颗粒的挑战。最近,外泌体的microrna、长链非编码RNA和循环RNA因其对靶细胞分子通路的关键作用而备受关注。本文就非编码rna外泌体在脑部疾病发生中的重要作用进行综述。

Current urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnostic methods are slow or provide limited information, resulting in prescribing antibiotic therapy before bacterial pathogen identification. Here, we adapted a gold nanoparticle colorimetric approach and developed a smartphone platform for UTI detection. We show the parallel identification of five major UTI pathogens at clinically relevant concentrations of 105 bacteria/mL using bacteria-specific and universal probes. We validated the diagnostic technology using 115 positive and 19 negative samples from patients with Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae infections. The assay successfully identified the infecting pathogen (specificity: >98% and sensitivity: 51–73%) in 3 h. Our platform is faster than culturing and can wirelessly store and transmit results at the cost of $0.38 per assay.

目前的尿路感染(UTI)诊断方法缓慢或提供有限的信息,导致在细菌病原体鉴定之前处方抗生素治疗。在这里,我们采用了金纳米颗粒比色法,并开发了一个用于UTI检测的智能手机平台。我们使用细菌特异性和通用探针在临床相关浓度为105个细菌/mL时平行鉴定了五种主要的UTI病原体。我们使用大肠杆菌、奇异变形杆菌和肺炎克雷伯菌感染患者的115个阳性和19个阴性样本验证了诊断技术。该试验在3小时内成功鉴定出感染病原体(特异性:98%,敏感性:51-73%)。我们的平台比培养更快,并且可以无线存储和传输结果,每次试验的成本为0.38美元。
