Zn(ii)-driven impact of monomeric transthyretin on amyloid-β amyloidogenesis
Extracellular accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in the brain plays a significant role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). While the co-localization and interaction of proteins and metal ions…
An iterative synthesis of poly-substituted indole oligomers reveals a short effective conjugation length in eumelanin model compounds
Eumelanin is a multifunctional biomaterial that colors the skin, hair and eyes of mammals. Despite years of effort, its molecular structure remains unknown, limiting our understanding of its biological function…
Tuning the selectivity of P4 reduction at alkaline-earth metal centres
Reduction of P4 with β-diketiminate MgI complexes, (BDI)MgMg(BDI), depends strongly on the bulk of the ligand. Whereas superbulky BDI ligands gave selective reduction to P42− in a butterfly conformation, reduction…
Stand Up for Science Rally Sees Mix of Science, Politics and Anxiety
In Washington, many protesters declined to share their names publicly, for similar reasons. One woman, who wore a surgical mask and a long, white lab coat with the words “Mad…
Enhancing FAIRdata by providing digital workflows from data generation to the publication of data: an open source approach described for cyclic voltammetry

Debut of enzyme-responsive anionic cyanine for overlap-free NIR-II-to-I dual-channel tumour imaging
Bridging the disparity between traditional surgical resection imaging and ex vivo histopathology, fluorescence imaging is considered a promising tool in disease diagnosis and imaging navigation. Nevertheless, its usefulness is undermined…
Host–guest chemistry on living cells enabling recyclable photobiocatalytic cascade
Combining chemical and whole-cell catalysts enables sustainable chemoenzymatic cascade reactions. However, their traditional combination faces challenges in catalyst recycling and maintaining cell viability. Here, we introduce a supramolecular host–guest strategy…
Exploiting in situ NMR spectroscopy to understand non-traditional methods for zeolite synthesis
Zeolite-formation mechanisms have long been the subject of intensive study, with most work concentrating on hydrothermal mechanisms. However, non-traditional zeolite syntheses that do not rely on hydrothermal crystallisation have provided…
