RESUMO

Annularly 1,3-localized singlet diradicals are energetic and homolytic intermediates, but commonly too short-lived for widespread utilization. Herein, we describe a direct observation of a long-lived and seven-membered singlet diradical, oxepine-3,6-dione-2,7-diyl (OXPID), via spectroscopic experiments and also theoretical evidence from computational studies, which is generated via photo-induced ring-expansion of 2,3-diaryl-1,4-naphthoquinone epoxide (DNQO). The photo-generated OXPID reverts to the thermally stable σ-bonded DNQO with t1/2 in the µs level, thus constituting a novel class of T-type molecular photoswitches with high light-energy conversion efficiency (η = 7.8-33%). Meanwhile, the OXPID is equilibrated to a seven-membered cyclic 1,3-dipole as an electronic tautomer that can be captured by ring-strained dipolarophiles with an ultrafast cycloaddition rate (k2CA up to 109 M-1 s-1). The T-type photoswitchable DNQO is then exploited to be a highly selective and recyclable photoclick reagent, enabling spatiotemporal-resolved bioorthogonal ligation on living cell membranes via a tailored DNQO-Cy3 probe.

RESUMO

We report a genetically encodable m-trifluoromethylaniline modified L-lysine (m-TFMAK) which defluorinates upon light activation and covalently conjugates to native residues via acyl fluoride exchange. The encoded m-TFMAK photo-crosslinks with temporal controllability, residue selectivity, and fluorogenic tracking features, making it suitable for identifying protein interactions in living systems.

RESUMO

Entropy quantification approaches have gained considerable attention in engineering applications. However, certain limitations persist, including the strong dependence on parameter selection, limited discriminating power, and low robustness to noise. To alleviate these issues, this paper introduces two novel algorithms for time series analysis: the ensemble improved permutation entropy (EIPE) and multiscale EIPE (MEIPE). Our approaches employ a new symbolization process that considers both permutation relations and amplitude information. Additionally, the ensemble technique is utilized to reduce the dependence on parameter selection. We performed a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed methods using various synthetic and experimental signals. The results illustrate that EIPE is capable of distinguishing white, pink, and brown noise with a smaller number of samples compared to traditional entropy algorithms. Furthermore, EIPE displays the potential to discriminate between regular and non-regular dynamics. Notably, when compared to permutation entropy, weighted permutation entropy, and dispersion entropy, EIPE exhibits superior robustness against noise. In practical applications, such as RR interval data classification, bearing fault diagnosis, marine vessel identification, and electroencephalographic (EEG) signal classification, the proposed methods demonstrate better discriminating power compared to conventional entropy measures. These promising findings validate the effectiveness and potential of the algorithms proposed in this paper.

RESUMO

Photo-click chemistry has emerged as a powerful tool for revolutionizing bioconjugation technologies in pharmacological and various biomimetic applications. However, enriching the photo-click reactions to expand the bioconjugation toolkit remains challenging, especially when focusing on spatiotemporal control endowed by light activation. Herein, we describe a photo-induced defluorination acyl fluoride exchange (photo-DAFEx) as a novel type of photo-click reaction that is mediated through acyl fluorides produced by the photo-defluorination of m-trifluoromethylaniline to covalently conjugate with primary/secondary amines and thiols in an aqueous environment. (TD)-DFT calculations, together with experimental discovery, indicate that the m-NH2PhF2C(sp3)-F bond in the excited triplet state is cleaved by water molecules, which is key to inducing defluorination. Intriguingly, the benzoyl amide linkages built by this photo-click reaction exhibited a satisfactory fluorogenic performance, which allowed visualization of its formation in situ. Accordingly, this photo-controlled covalent strategy was exploited not only for the decoration of small molecules, peptide cyclization and functionalization of proteins in vitro, but also for designing photo-affinity probes targeting endogenous carbonic anhydrase II (hCA-II) in living cells.

RESUMO

We describe a novel type of photoclick reaction between 2,3-diaryl indenone epoxide (DIO) and ring-strained dipolarophiles, in which DIO serves as a P-type photoswitch to produce mesoionic oxidopyrylium ylide (PY) to initiate an ultra-fast [5+2] cycloaddition (k2hν =1.9×105  M-1 s-1 ). The photoisomerization between DIO and PY can be tightly controlled by either 365 or 520 nm photo-stimulation, which allows reversion or regeneration of the reactive PY dipole on demand. Thus, this reversible photoactivation was exploited to increase the chemoselectivity of the [5+2] cycloaddition in complex environments via temporal dual-λ stimulation sequences and to recycle the DIO reagent for batch-wise protein conjugation. A dynamic photoswitching strategy is also proposed to compensate for molecular diffusion of PY in aqueous solution, enhancing the spatial resolution of lithographic surface decoration and bioorthogonal labeling on living cells via a spatiotemporal dual-λ photo-modulation.

RESUMO

We report two evolved Methanosarcina mazei pyrrolysine tRNA synthetases to genetically incorporate the isomers of dibenzo[c,g][1,2]diazocine-alanine (DBDAA) into proteins either in the dark or under regulation of 405 nm photo-stimulation. The genetic-encoded DBDAA realizes photo-tuning of enzymatic activity via the host-guest recognition of cucurbit[7]uril.

RESUMO

We investigated the feasibility of creating cyclic azobenzene/azobenzene-based photo-switchable drugs that can fine-tune antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) with light dependence. Furthermore, a "light-controlled drug combination" of these obtained drugs could be reversibly controlled to efficiently improve the antibiotic effect so as to reduce the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) with different wavelength light illumination. Importantly, their antimicrobial activity could be easily manipulated by using light in bacterial patterning studies with high spatiotemporal precision, which might allow for localized activation of drugs and provide an alternative solution for practical clinical application in photopharmacology.

RESUMO

Genetic incorporation of novel noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) that are specialized for the photo-click reaction allows the precisely orthogonal and site-specific functionalization of proteins in living cells under photo-control. However, the development of a r̲ing-strain i̲n situ l̲oadable d̲ipolarophile (RILD) as a genetically encodable reporter for photo-click bioconjugation with spatiotemporal controllability is quite rare. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a photo-switchable d̲ib̲enzo[b,f][1,4,5]t̲hiad̲iazepine-based a̲lanine (DBTDA) ncAA, together with the directed evolution of a pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNACUA pair (PylRS/tRNACUA), to encode the DBTDA into recombinant proteins as a RILD in living E. coli cells. The fast-responsive photo-isomerization of the DBTDA residue can be utilized as a converter of photon energy into ring-strain energy to oscillate the conformational changes of the parent proteins. Due to the photo-activation of RILD, the photo-switching of the DBTDA residue on sfGFP and OmpC is capable of promoting the photo-click ligation with diarylsydnone (DASyd) derived probes with high efficiency and selectivity. We demonstrate that the genetic code expansion (GCE) with DBTDA benefits the studies on the distribution of decorated OmpC-DBTD on specific E. coli cells under a spatiotemporal resolved photo-stimulation. The GCE for encoding DBTDA enables further functional diversity of artificial proteins in living systems.
