The host-guest systems formed by enantiomers and macromolecule can be applied to differentiate the chiral drugs and enable the drug delayed release. We hereby performed the dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) calculation on the complex formed by β-cyclodextrin(β-CD) and D/L-penicillamine (D/L-Pen). The diverse encapsulation configurations with different interaction energy show that both D-Pen and L-Pen tend to longitudinally embedded into the narrow aperture of β-CD with the front part of the sulfur group and the methyl group, and the interaction energy between L-Pen and β-CD is 5.47 kJ/mol(M062XD3) lower than that between D-Pen and β-CD. Based on the computed vibration frequency of host, guest, and the most stable complex, it is found that the featured peaks attributed to the vibration of the carboxyl group of guest and the skeleton vibration of complex are the most significant spectral standard to distinguish the β-CD-D/L-Pen and β-CD. Moreover, the peaks resulted from the skeleton vibration in terahertz spectra can be also used to distinguish the complex of β-CD with chiral Pen. Through the topological analysis and the Independent Gradient Model (IGM) analysis, the O-H…O hydrogen bond in β-CD-D-Pen is stronger than that in β-CD-L-Pen, and the van der Waals interactions such as C-H…O,C-H…N,C-H…S, O…S and C-H…C-H have the most contributions to the intermolecular interaction in β-CD-D/L-Pen. It is also noted that the H(-OH) in D-Pen and S in L-Pen contribute the most to the intermolecular interaction with β-CD in comparison with other atoms in Pen.The core-shell NaGdF4Yb,Er@NaGdF4Yb,Nd upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were successfully obtained with the method of co-precipitation, and the water-solubility of UCNPs was improved by the ligand exchange reaction between nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate (NOBF4) and nanoparticles. The IR-783 dye with negative charge and NOBF4-UCNPs with positive charge can bind together by electrostatic action to sensitize UCNPs through the energy transfer from IR-783 to UCNPs. However, with the presence of Na2S (a commonly used H2S donor), a highly selective reaction between H2S and IR-783, which destoried the structure of IR-783 and blocked the energy transfer, thus led to the quenching of luminescent intensity. Based on this, a sensing system for determination of H2S has been constructed successfully. INX315 The linear range of H2S detection by this system is 0.5-15 μM, and the detection limit is 34.17 nM. Furthermore, the dye-sensitized core-shell NaGdF4Yb,Er@NaGdF4Yb,Nd upconversion nanoprobe was applied to real sample analysis with satisfactory results.The dynamics and structural characteristics of polymethacrylic acid bound rhodamine-123 (PMAA-R123) and its interpolymer complex formed through hydrogen bonding between the monomeric units with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) were investigated using single molecular fluorescence studies. The time resolved fluorescence anisotropy decay of PMAA-R123 under acidic pH exhibits an associated anisotropy decay behavior characteristic of two different environments experienced by the fluorophore with one shorter and another longer rotational correlation time. The anisotropy decay retains normal bi-exponential behavior under neutral pH. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopic investigation reveals that the attached fluorophore undergoes hydrolysis under basic condition which results in the release of the fluorophore from the polymer backbone. Shrinkage in the hydrodynamic radius of PMAA is observed on addition of the complementary polymer PVP which is attributed to the formation compact solubilized nanoparticle like aggregates. The size of particle further decreases on the addition of NaCl. The detailed results show that these complexes have potential for use as drug-delivery system under physiological conditions.Brown carbon (BrC) can absorb solar radiation in the ultraviolet (UV) and near visible (Vis) regions, which plays an important role in the Earth's radiative balance and global climate. 1,4-dioxane-2,5-diol (DD), glyoxal (GX) and acetaldehyde (AAld) appeared moderate absorbent and fluorescent, when each of them reaction with glycine (Gly)/ammonium sulfate (AS). Combined with the previous experimental studies of the methylglyoxal (MG), GX reaction with GX/AS, novelty conclusions are as following the absorbance of the reaction products in the same reaction time followed the order MG-Gly＞DD-Gly＞GX-Gly＞AAld-Gly, DD-AS＞MG-AS＞GX-AS＞AAld-AS. And for the same aldehyde compound reaction with Gly the reaction rate was faster than with AS. Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (EEM) plot showed that, with the increasing of reaction time, red shift of emission peak occurred in MG-Gly/AS and GX-Gly, no shift occurred in DD-Gly/AS and AAld-Gly, and blue shift occurred in GX-AS. The H2O2 oxidation photolysis results showed that the effective H2O2 oxidation photolysis rate constants (k) in the visible region are larger than in UV region for the reaction MG, GX, DD with Gly. But for AAld-Gly system, the k in the visible region is smaller than in the UV region. Besides, the reaction MG, GX, DD, AAld with Gly clearly showed that the presence of abundant organic products by Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis.Given the breadth and depth of the scientific contributions of Sir Christopher Dobson, with over 870 publications to date, it is inconceivable to convey in a single review the impact of his work and its legacy. This review therefore primarily focuses on his contributions to the development of strategies for preventing aberrant protein misfolding. The first section of this review highlights his seminal work on the elucidation of the microscopic nucleation processes underlying protein aggregation. Next, we discuss the specific inhibition of these steps by candidate drugs and biologics, with a particular emphasis on the role of molecular chaperones. In the final section, we review how protein aggregation principles can be exploited for the rational design of novel and more potent aggregation inhibitors. These milestones serve as excellent examples of the profound impact of Dobson's seminal work on fundamental science and its translation into drug discovery.
