ABSTRACTMetallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) represent one of the main mechanisms of bacterial resistance against β-lactam antibiotics. The elucidation of their mechanism has been limited mostly by the structural diversity among their active sites. All MβLs structurally characterized so far present a Cys or a Ser residue at position 221, which is critical for catalysis. GOB lactamases stand as an exception within this picture, possessing a Met residue in this location. We studied different mutants in this position, and we show that Met221 is essential for protein stability, most likely due to its involvement in a hydrophobic core. In contrast to other known MβLs, residue 221 is not involved in metal binding or in catalysis in GOB enzymes, further highlighting the structural diversity of MβLs. We also demonstrate the usefulness of protein periplasmic profiles to assess the contribution of protein stability to antibiotic resistance.

The metal-free cousins of metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), are a class of pre-designable crystalline polymers composed of light elements and connected by strong covalent bonds. COFs are being given more and more attention in the electrochemical sensor field due to their fascinating properties, such as highly tunable porosity, intrinsic chemical and thermal stability, structural diversity, large specific surface area, and unique adsorption characteristics. However, there are still some key issues regarding COFs that need to be urgently resolved before they can be effectively applied in electrochemical sensing. In this review, we summarized recent achievements in developing novel electrochemical sensors based on COFs, and discussed the key fundamental and challenging issues that need to be addressed, including the mechanisms underlying charge transport, methods to improve electrical conductivity, immobilization methods on different substrates, synthesis strategies for nanoscale COFs, and the application of COFs in different fields. Finally, the challenges and outlooks in this promising field are tentatively proposed.

Chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) have shown great promises in the applications of asymmetric catalysis with highly enantioselective. Herein, we briefly overview recent processes of MOF-based asymmetric catalysts based on a classification of reaction types. And we mainly focus on the structures and compositions of the active sites in these catalysts and their performances in specific reactions. In addition, some of their important unique features are critically emphasized alongside. Challenges of the future research are discussed also at the end of this review.
