Cage Molecules Stabilize Lead Halide Perovskite Thin Films by Sun, Shijing, Liu, Ming, Thapa, Janak, Hartono, Noor Titan Putri, Zhao, Yicheng, He, Donglin, Wieghold, Sarah, Chua, Matthew, Wu, Yue, Bulović, Vladimir, Ling, Sanliang, Brabec, Christoph J., Cooper, Andrew I., Buonassisi, Tonio

“…Furthermore, there is evidence of molecular interactions between RCC3 and MAPbI3, as fingerprinted by the suppressed N–H stretching mode in MA+ from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and density functional theory (DFT) simulations that suggest strong hydrogen bonding between MA+ and RCC3. Given the diversity of POCs and HOIPs, our work opens a new avenue to stabilize HOIPs via tailored molecular interactions with functional organic materials.…”

Molecular dynamics simulations of a new branched antimicrobial peptide : a comparison of force fields by Li, Jianguo, Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani, Bai, Yang, Liu, Shouping, Zhou, Lei, Pervushin, Konstantin, Verma, Chandra, Beuerman, Roger W.

“…Although the four force fields predict different structures of B2088, they all show that B2088 stabilizes against the head group of the lipid through hydrogen bonding of its Lys and Arg side chains. This leads us to hypothesize that B2088 is unlikely to penetrate into the hydrophobic region of the membrane owing to the high free energy costs of transfer from water, and possibly acts by carpeting and thus disrupting the membrane.…”

Shear behavior of greenschist along foliation plane considering anisotropy by Zhang, Qingzhao, Wu, Chuangzhou, Jang, Bo-An, Fei, Xunchang

“…The intact greenschist samples show significantly higher shear strength compared to the sheared samples due to the bonding strength along foliation plane. The shear behavior of greenschist along foliation plane is anisotropic due to the 3D roughness of foliation plane, and the anisotropic behavior diminishes as the normal stress increases. …”

Incorporating a guanidine-modified cytosine base into triplex-forming PNAs for the recognition of a C-G pyrimidine–purine inversion site of an RNA duplex by Toh, Desiree-Faye Kaixin, Devi, Gitali, Patil, Kiran M., Qu, Qiuyu, Maraswami, Manikantha, Xiao, Yunyun, Loh, Teck Peng, Zhao, Yanli, Chen, Gang

“…The attached guanidine group stabilizes the base triple through hydrogen bonding with the G base in a C-G pair. Selective binding towards an RNA duplex over a single-stranded RNA can be rationalized by the fact that alkylation of the amine of a 5-methyl C base blocks the Watson–Crick edge. …”

Synthetic post-translational protein modification as a switch for activity by Faulkner, SC

“…A model was suggested in which the H3K36 side chain is normally sequestered in intact nucleosomes in a hydrogen bonding interaction with the phosphate of the DNA backbone, and the interaction entirely abrogated only when the third methyl group is added to form H3K36me3, providing a ‘methyl- switch’ mechanism for context-dependent reader selectivity. …”
