Human Myeloperoxidase-Driven Activation of Skin Sensitizing p-Phenylenediamine-related Aromatic Diamines and Phenylpropanoids – Insights from In Chemico and In Silico Approaches

This study demonstrates that human myeloperoxidase (MPO), released by neutrophils during skin sensitization, enzymatically oxidizes specific aromatic diamines and phenylpropanoids into protein-reactive metabolites, thereby revealing a previously unrecognized biological activation pathway that complements existing abiotic and epidermal metabolic mechanisms.

Selective Targeting Through Chemical Remodeling of Protein Neosurfaces

This study presents a dynamic neosurface engineering strategy using a supramolecular peptide platform to chemically remodel the intrinsically disordered surface of aldose reductase (ALR2), creating a selective "NeoFunnel Interface" that enables high-affinity targeting and adaptive drug release while avoiding cross-reactivity with its homologous enzyme ALR1.

Two coordination polymers via one-pot synthesis and crystallization based on semirigid tripodal carboxylic acid

Two new three-dimensional cadmium coordination polymers were successfully synthesized via one-pot solvothermal reaction using a semirigid tripodal carboxylic acid and a flexible N-donor ligand, where the distinct trans and cis conformational configurations of the ligand dictate the formation of meso-helical chains and discrete ring structures, respectively.
