A pH-responsive triblock copolymer, α-methoxy poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(N-(3-aminopropyl) methacrylamide)-β-poly(2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (mPEO-PAPMA-PDPAEMA), was synthesized via aqueous RAFT polymerization. This triblock copolymer dissolves in aqueous solution at low pH (<5.0) due to protonation of primary amine residues on the PAPMA block and tertiary amine residues on the PDPAEMA block. Above pH 6.0, the copolymer unimers self-assemble into micelles consisting of PDPAEMA cores, PAPMA shells, and mPEO coronas. Dynamic light scattering studies indicated a hydrodynamic diameter of 92 nm at pH 9.0. A bifunctional, reversible cross-linker, dimethyl 3,3′-dithiobispropionimidate (DTBP), was used to cross-link the micelles. The ‘one-pot’ formation of shell cross-linked (SCL) micelles was accomplished at room temperature in water by mixing the triblock copolymers and DTBP at pH 3.0, and slowly increasing the solution pH to 9.0 leading to the simultaneous formation of micelles and cross-linking. These SCL micelles are readily cleaved by the addition of the reducing agent, dithiothreitol, and can be re-cross-linked simply by exposure to air. Such SCL micelles have potential as nanocarriers for controlled release of therapeutic and diagnostic agents because the in situ cleavage of the disulfide linkages would not only allow release of bioactive agents, but also permit renal clearance of the resulting unimeric components.

<p>Three novel lanthanide metal˗organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), namely MOF-590, -591, and -592 were constructed from a naphthalene diimide tetracarboxylic acid. Gas adsorption measurements of MOF-591 and -592 revealed good adsorption of CO<sub>2</sub> (low pressure, at room temperature) and moderate CO<sub>2</sub> selectivity over N<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub>. Accordingly, breakthrough measurements were performed on a representative MOF-592, in which the separation of CO<sub>2</sub> from binary mixture containing N<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> was demonstrated without any loss in performance over three consecutive cycles. Moreover, MOF-590, MOF-591, and MOF-592 exhibited catalytic activity in the one-pot synthesis of styrene carbonate from styrene and CO<sub>2</sub> under mild conditions (1 atm CO<sub>2</sub>, 80 °C, and solvent-free). Among the new materials, MOF-590 revealed a remarkable efficiency with exceptional conversion (96%), selectivity (95%), and yield (91%). </p><br>

<p>Double-bond photoisomerization in molecules such as the green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore can occur either via a volume-demanding one-bond-flip pathway or via a volume-conserving hula-twist pathway. Understanding the factors that determine the pathway of photoisomerization would inform the rational design of photoswitchable GFPs as improved tools for super-resolution microscopy. In this communication, we reveal the photoisomerization pathway of a photoswitchable GFP, rsEGFP2, by solving crystal structures of <i>cis</i> and <i>trans</i> rsEGFP2 containing a monochlorinated chromophore. The position of the chlorine substituent in the <i>trans</i> state breaks the symmetry of the phenolate ring of the chromophore and allows us to distinguish the two pathways. Surprisingly, we find that the pathway depends on the arrangement of protein monomers within the crystal lattice: in a looser packing, the one-bond-flip occurs, whereas in a tighter packing (7% smaller unit cell size), the hula-twist occurs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> <p> </p>
