antiviral and anticancer chemotherapeutic agents that makes use of a disease-specific nucleicacid sequence to template the association of a prodrug with a catalyst which catalyzes the release of the drug. Herein, we report on the effect of mismatches, sterics, and electronics on the rate and specificity of drug and probe release in both two and three component model systems, and on the stability of the

transformations. To complement the natural enzymes' repertoire, effective optimization protocols to improve ArM's performance are required. Here we report on our efforts to optimize the activity of an artificial transfer hydrogenase (ATHase) using Escherichia coli whole cells. For this purpose, we rely on a self-immolative quinolinium substrate which, upon reduction, releases fluorescent umbelliferone
人工金属酶 (ArMs) 将非生物金属辅因子与蛋白质支架相结合,催化各种合成有用的转化。为了补充天然酶的库,需要有效的优化协议来提高 ArM 的性能。在这里,我们报告了我们使用大肠杆菌全细胞优化人工转移氢化酶 (ATHase) 活性的努力。为此,我们依靠自焚喹啉底物,该底物在还原时释放荧光伞形酮,从而实现有效筛选。与使用纯化突变体的野生型 ATHase 相比,在紧邻 Ir 辅因子的位置引入环使 ArM 的转移氢化活性提高了多达 5 倍。
A new fluorogenic probe for the selective detection of carbon monoxide in aqueous medium based on Pd(0) mediated reaction
A coumarin-based fluorogenic probe, PCO-1, detects carbon monoxide selectively in buffer at pH 8.0 through the intramolecular cyclization–elimination pathway based on Pd(0) mediated reaction.

A counterintuitive observation of a faster signal relay over a longer linear distance prompted detailed kinetic studies of self-immolation reactions. With appropriate conformational bias, trigger-to-reporter signal transduction can take an efficient "shortcut" that outperforms conventional pathways involving repetitive quinone methide rearrangements and elimination.
