The development of predictive tools to assess enzyme mutant performance and physical organic approaches to enzyme mechanistic interrogation are crucial to the field of biocatalysis. While many indispensable tools exist…
Colorimetric sensing has been widely used for centuries across diverse fields, thanks to easy operation with no electricity and uncompromised high sensitivity. However, the limited number of chromogenic systems hampers…
Selective reactions that combine H2, CO and organic electrophiles (aldehyde, ketones, isocyanide) to form hydrogenated C3 and C4 carbon chains are reported. These reactions proceed by CO homologation mediated by…
Electrochemical ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) is promising as an alternative anodicreaction to oxygen evolution in water electrolysis system. Herein, we develop a microkinetic model based on density functional theory (DFT)…
Modification of functional groups attached to conjugated polymer backbones can drastically alter the material properties. Oxidation of electron-donating thioalkyl substituents to electron-withdrawing sulfoxides or sulfones {is a|is really a|is actually…
Sporopollenin is a mechanically robust and chemically inert biopolymer that constitutes the outer protective exine layer of plant spores and pollen grains. Recent investigation of the molecular structure of pine…
Through molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate how single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) assembled via transient linkages in water can remodel in organic solvent. Methacrylate-based random heteropolymers (RHPs) have shown promise in an…
In this paper, we describe the use of weakly interacting DNA linkages to assemble nanoparticles into defined clusters. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized and functionalized with thiol modified single-stranded DNA…

Despite the high promise, the commercialization of Li-metal-based batteries has been hampered due to the formation of dendrites that lead to mechanical instability, energy loss and eventual internal short circuits.…
