Project description:Arylomycins are a promising class of "latent" antibacterial natural products currently in preclinical development. Access to analogues within this family has previously required a lengthy route involving multiple functional group manipulations that is costly and time-intensive on scale. This study presents a simplified route predicated on simple C-H functionalization logic that is enabled by a Cu-mediated oxidative phenol coupling that mimics the putative biosynthesis. This operationally simple macrocyclization is the largest of its kind and can be easily performed on gram scale. The application of this new route to a formal synthesis of the natural product and a collection of new analogues along with their biological evaluation is also reported.

Project description:The utilization of spin waves as eigenmodes of the magnetization dynamics for information processing and communication has been widely explored recently due to its high operational speed with low power consumption and possible applications for quantum computations. Previous proposals of spin wave Mach-Zehnder devices were based on the spin wave phase, a delicate entity which can be easily disrupted. Here, we propose a complete logic system based on the spin wave amplitude utilizing the nonreciprocal spin wave behavior excited by microstrip antennas. The experimental data reveal that the nonreciprocity of magnetostatic surface spin wave can be tuned by the bias magnetic field. Furthermore, engineering of the device structure could result in a high nonreciprocity factor for spin wave logic applications.

Project description:Synthesizing gold nanorods (AuNRs) by seed-mediated growth method results in the presence of undesired size and shape particles by-products occupying 10-90% of the population. In this study, AuNRs are synthesized by the seed-mediated growth method using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant. AuNRs with redshifted longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance (LLSPR) peak, localized in the biological "transparency window" (650-1350 nm), are synthesized after optimizing seed solution, silver nitrate solution, and hydrochloric acid solution volumes, based on the published protocols. A two-step purification method, dialysis followed by centrifugation, is applied to remove excess CTAB and collect LLSPR-redshifted AuNRs with high rod purity (>90%). CTAB is subsequently exchanged with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to improve AuNRs biocompatibility. PEGylated AuNRs are confirmed innocuous to both SN4741 cells and B16F10 cells by the modified MTT assay and the modified lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay up to 1 nm and 24 h incubation. In this study, a combined facile synthesis, purification, and surface functionalization approach is proposed to obtain water-dispersible monodispersed AuNRs for drug delivery applications.

Project description:Domain wall (DW) based logic and memory devices require precise control and manipulation of DW in nanowire conduits. The topological defects of Transverse DWs (TDW) are of paramount importance as regards to the deterministic pinning and movement of DW within complex networks of conduits. In-situ control of the DW topological defects in nanowire conduits may pave the way for novel DW logic applications. In this work, we present a geometrical modulation along a nanowire conduit, which allows for the topological rectification/inversion of TDW in nanowires. This is achieved by exploiting the controlled relaxation of the TDW within an angled rectangle. Direct evidence of the logical operation is obtained via magnetic force microscopy measurement.

Project description:A 1,2,3-triazole-based chemosensor is used for selective switching in logic gate operations through colorimetric and fluorometric response mechanisms. The molecular probe synthesized via "click chemistry" resulted in a non-fluorescent 1,4-diaryl-1,2,3-triazole with a phenol moiety (PTP). However, upon sensing fluoride, it TURNS ON the molecule's fluorescence. The TURN-OFF order occurs through fluorescence quenching of the sensor when metal ions, e.g., Cu2+, and Zn2+, are added to the PTP-fluoride ensemble. A detailed characterization using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in a sequential titration study substantiated the photophysical characteristics of PTP through UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence profiles. A combination of fluorescence OFF-ON-OFF sequences provides evidence of 1,2,3-triazoles being controlled switches applicable to multimodal logic operations. The "INH" gate was constructed based on the fluorescence output of PTP when the inputs are F- and Zn2+. The "IMP" and "OR" gates were created on the colorimetric output responses using the probe's absorption with multiple inputs (F- and Zn2+ or Cu2+). The PTP sensor is the best example of the "Write-Read-Erase-Read" mimic.

Project description:Nanobodies can be seen as next-generation tools for the recognition and modulation of antigens that are inaccessible to conventional antibodies. Due to their compact structure and high stability, nanobodies see frequent usage in basic research, and their chemical functionalization opens the way towards promising diagnostic and therapeutic applications. In this Review, central aspects of nanobody functionalization are presented, together with selected applications. While early conjugation strategies relied on the random modification of natural amino acids, more recent studies have focused on the site-specific attachment of functional moieties. Such techniques include chemoenzymatic approaches, expressed protein ligation, and amber suppression in combination with bioorthogonal modification strategies. Recent applications range from sophisticated imaging and mass spectrometry to the delivery of nanobodies into living cells for the visualization and manipulation of intracellular antigens.

Project description:In Information Retrieval (IR), Data Mining (DM), and Machine Learning (ML), similarity measures have been widely used for text clustering and classification. The similarity measure is the cornerstone upon which the performance of most DM and ML algorithms is completely dependent. Thus, till now, the endeavor in literature for an effective and efficient similarity measure is still immature. Some recently-proposed similarity measures were effective, but have a complex design and suffer from inefficiencies. This work, therefore, develops an effective and efficient similarity measure of a simplistic design for text-based applications. The measure developed in this work is driven by Boolean logic algebra basics (BLAB-SM), which aims at effectively reaching the desired accuracy at the fastest run time as compared to the recently developed state-of-the-art measures. Using the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) schema, the K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and the K-means clustering algorithm, a comprehensive evaluation is presented. The evaluation has been experimentally performed for BLAB-SM against seven similarity measures on two most-popular datasets, Reuters-21 and Web-KB. The experimental results illustrate that BLAB-SM is not only more efficient but also significantly more effective than state-of-the-art similarity measures on both classification and clustering tasks.

Project description:Photoredox-catalyzed methylcyclobutanations of alkylboronic esters are described. The reactions proceed through single-electron transfer induced deboronative radical addition to an electron-deficient alkene followed by single-electron reduction and polar 4-exo-tet cyclization with a pendant alkyl halide. Key to the success of the methodology was the use of easily oxidizable arylboronate complexes. Structurally diverse cyclobutanes are shown to be conveniently prepared from readily available alkylboronic esters and a range of haloalkyl alkenes. The mild reactions display excellent functional group tolerance, and the radical addition-polar cyclization cascade also enables the synthesis of 3-, 5-, 6-, and 7-membered rings.

Project description:Functionalized nano-graphene- and graphene-based nanocomposites have gained tremendous attention in the area of biomedicine in recent years owing to their biocompatibility, the ease with which they can be functionalized and their properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity. Potential applications for functionalized nanoparticles range from drug delivery and multimodal imaging to exploitation of the electrical properties of graphene toward the preparation of biosensing devices. This protocol covers the preparation, functionalization and bioconjugation of various graphene derivatives and nanocomposites. Starting from graphite, the preparations of graphene oxide (GO), reduced GO (RGO) and magnetic GO-based nanocomposite, as well as how to functionalize them with biocompatible polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), are described in detail. We also provide procedures for (125)I radiolabeling of PEGylated GO and the preparation of GO-based gene carriers; other bioconjugation approaches including drug loading, antibody conjugation and fluorescent labeling are similar to those described previously and used for bioconjugation of PEGylated carbon nanotubes. We hope this article will help researchers in this field to fabricate graphene-based bioconjugates with high reproducibility for various applications in biomedicine. The sample preparation procedures take various times ranging from 1 to 2 d.
