Selective Crystallization for Green Separations of Lanthanides Using 5-(Pyrimidyl)Tetrazolate

In an effort to develop facile, low-cost, and environmentally benign separations of lanthanides, the coordination chemistry and selective crystallization of Ln 3+ cations with the water-soluble ligand 5-(pyrimidyl)tetrazolate (pmtz) have been investigated. The wide range of coordination modes of pmtz allows for discrimination between these cations, and five distinct compound types can be prepared that are dependent on the lanthanide employed. La 3+ leads to the formation of [La(pmtz) 2 (H 2 O) 6 ]Cl (S1). [Ln(pmtz) 3 (H 2 O) 3 ]·(3+n)H 2 O is obtained with Ce 3+ and Pr 3+ (S2). Ce 3+ can also form [(Ce(pmtz) 2 (H 2 O) 3 ) 2 (μ-pmtz)](pmtz)·11H 2 O (S3). [(Ln(pmtz) 2 (H 2 O) 3 ) 2 (μ-pmtz)] 2 (pmtz) 2 ·14H 2 O (S4) is formed with Nd 3+ and Sm 3+ . Here, the smaller Ln 3+ cations, Dy 3+ to Lu 3+ , all yield [Ln(H 2 O) 8 ](pmtz) 3 ·3H 2 O (S5). This selective crystallization of Ln 3+ cations based primarily on ionic radii provides a simple method for achieving group separations.

Roles of Alkali Metals and Ionic Networks in Directing the Formation of Anionic Metal–Organic Frameworks

Integrating different types of fundamental chemical interactions to direct the self-assembly processes and to control the dimension of the network formed by each type of interactions is a promising strategy to develop advanced functional materials. Here, the ionic interaction of alkali metals (Na, K, Cs) towards multi-functional 2,2’-disulfo-4,4’-oxydibenzoic acid is utilized in two solvent systems, aqueous-amide and uro-amide, to synthesize six novel anionic framework materials with dramatically different features and dimensionalities: (Na 3 [Zn 4 O(L 4- ) 3 (e-murea)(H 2 O) 3 ](H 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 +) 3 (CPM-s1), [Zn 4 O(L 4- ) 3 (DMF)]((NH 2 (CH 3 ) 2 +) 6 ) (CPM-s2), Na 6 [(Zn 2 OH 2 ) 3 (L 3- ) 6 ](H 2 O) 3 (CPM-s3), K 3 [Zn 2 (L 4- ) 2 ](H 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 +)(e-murea) 2 (H 2 O) 3 (CPM-s4), K 4 [Zn(L 3- ) 2 ](H 2 O) 2 (CPM-s5), and Cs 6 [Zn(L 4- ) 2 ](H 2 O) 2 (CPM-s6), L 4- = 2,2’-disulfo-4,4’-oxydibenzoate, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide, e-murea = 1,3-dimethyl-1-2-imidazolidinone). In CPM-s1 to CPM-s6, the alkali-sulfonate ionic bonding networks transformed from 0D clusters with Na + to 1D chains and 2D sheets with K + , and 3D network with Cs + . These vastly differing ionic domains influenced the coordination modes and spatial arrangements of the metal-carboxylate linkers, which consequently, directed the dimensionality of the coordination networks from 3D with Na + to 1D with Cs + . CPM-s1 and CPM-s2, made from tetrameric Zn 4 O clusters are rare examples of anionic MOF-5-type structures. CPM-s3 features an unprecedented hexameric Zn 6 cluster. Even though a large portion of the charge-balancing cations in these materials would hamper hydrogen bonding networks, some of them still exhibit very high ionic conductivity (e.g. 1.25 x 10 -3 S cm -1 in CPM-s3), suggesting the potential of these materials as solid-state electrolytes.

Exploring the environmental drivers of vegetation seasonality changes in the northern extratropical latitudes: a quantitative analysis *

Abstract Vegetation seasonality in the northern extratropical latitudes (NEL) has changed dramatically, but our understanding of how it responds to climate change (e.g. temperature, soil moisture, shortwave radiation) and human activities (e.g. elevated CO 2 concentration) remains insufficient. In this study, we used two remote-sensing-based leaf area index and factorial simulations from the TRENDY models to attribute the changes in the integrated vegetation seasonality index ( S ), which captures both the concentration and magnitude of vegetation growth throughout the year, to climate, CO 2 , and land use and land cover change (LULCC). We found that from 2003 to 2020, the enhanced average S in the NEL (MODIS: 0.0022 yr −1 , p < 0.05; GLOBMAP: 0.0018 yr −1 , p < 0.05; TRENDY S3 [i.e. the scenario considering both time-varying climate, CO 2 , and LULCC]: 0.0011 ± 7.5174 × 10 −4 yr −1 , p < 0.05) was primarily determined by the elevated CO 2 concentration (5.3 × 10 −4 ± 3.8 × 10 −4 yr −1 , p < 0.05) and secondly controlled by the combined climate change (4.6 × 10 −4 ± 6.6 × 10 −4 yr −1 , p > 0.1). Geographically, negative trends in the vegetation growth concentration were dominated by climate change (31.4%), while both climate change (47.9%) and CO 2 (31.9%) contributed to the enhanced magnitude of vegetation growth. Furthermore, around 60% of the study areas showed that simulated major climatic drivers of S variability exhibited the same dominant factor as observed in either the MODIS or GLOBMAP data. Our research emphasizes the crucial connection between environmental factors and vegetation seasonality, providing valuable insights for policymakers and land managers in developing sustainable ecosystem management strategies amidst a changing climate.

Michaelis-like complex of SARS-CoV-2 main protease visualized by room-temperature X-ray crystallography

SARS-CoV-2 emerged at the end of 2019 to cause an unprecedented pandemic of the deadly respiratory disease COVID-19 that continues to date. The viral main protease (M pro ) is essential for SARS-CoV-2 replication and is therefore an important drug target. Understanding the catalytic mechanism of M pro , a cysteine protease with a catalytic site comprising the noncanonical Cys145–His41 dyad, can help in guiding drug design. Here, a 2.0 Å resolution room-temperature X-ray crystal structure is reported of a Michaelis-like complex of M pro harboring a single inactivating mutation C145A bound to the octapeptide Ac-SAVLQSGF-CONH 2 corresponding to the nsp4/nsp5 autocleavage site. The peptide substrate is unambiguously defined in subsites S5 to S3′ by strong electron density. Superposition of the Michaelis-like complex with the neutron structure of substrate-free M pro demonstrates that the catalytic site is inherently pre-organized for catalysis prior to substrate binding. Induced fit to the substrate is driven by P1 Gln binding in the predetermined subsite S1 and rearrangement of subsite S2 to accommodate P2 Leu. The Michaelis-like complex structure is ideal for in silico modeling of the SARS-CoV-2 M pro catalytic mechanism.

Cryo-EM structures of the small-conductance Ca 2+ -activated K Ca 2.2 channel

Small-conductance Ca 2+ -activated K + (K Ca 2.1-K Ca 2.3) channels modulate neuronal and cardiac excitability. We report cryo-electron microscopy structures of the K Ca 2.2 channel in complex with calmodulin and Ca 2+ , alone or bound to two small molecule inhibitors, at 3.18, 3.50, 2.99 and 2.97 angstrom resolution, respectively. Extracellular S3-S4 loops in β-hairpin configuration form an outer canopy over the pore with an aromatic box at the canopy’s center. Each S3-S4 β-hairpin is tethered to the selectivity filter in the neighboring subunit by inter-subunit hydrogen bonds. This hydrogen bond network flips the aromatic residue (Tyr362) in the filter’s GYG signature by 180°, causing the outer selectivity filter to widen and water to enter the filter. Disruption of the tether by a mutation narrows the outer selectivity filter, realigns Tyr362 to the position seen in other K + channels, and significantly increases unitary conductance. UCL1684, a mimetic of the bee venom peptide apamin, sits atop the canopy and occludes the opening in the aromatic box. AP14145, an analogue of a therapeutic for atrial fibrillation, binds in the central cavity below the selectivity filter and induces closure of the inner gate. These structures provide a basis for understanding the small unitary conductance and pharmacology of K Ca 2.x channels.

Exploration of Nirmatrelvir Derivatives as Optimized SARS‐CoV‐2 Antivirals

Nirmatrelvir (NMV) is a SARS‐CoV‐2 antiviral component of the approved COVID‐19 therapeutic Paxlovid. It is a reversible covalent inhibitor of SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease (M Pro ) that is effluxed from human cells by P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp). To identify NMV analogs with improved potency and reduced P‐gp efflux, a structure–activity relationship campaign was conducted. Warheads alternative to nitrile for engaging the active site cysteine were tested showing aldehyde and dichloroacetamide with better enzyme inhibition potency. Crystal structure of MPI‐136−M Pro shows its aldehyde warhead forming a thiohemiacetal with active Cys145 of M Pro . Several S4 binders were explored revealing that an O‐to‐S shift at the N ‐terminal amide leads to better enzyme inhibition. By exploring different combinations of S2, S3, and S4 binders, two inhibitors with better enzyme inhibition potency than NMV were found. Crystal structure of MPI‐148, with ( S )‐2‐azaspiro[4,5]decane‐3‐carboxylate as an alternative S2 binder, shows extensive hydrogen‐bond networks for locking the inhibitor in active site, explaining high affinity of NMV analogs. Further characterization of cellular M Pro engagement and antiviral potency against SARS‐CoV‐2 revealed four inhibitors with greater potency than NMV in P‐gp‐expressing cells. Studies with the P‐gp inhibitor CP‐100356 showed that these compounds were less sensitive to P‐gp inhibition than NMV, consistent with reduced P‐gp‐mediated efflux.

Charge readout electronics for the DUNE horizontal drift far detector: design and performance in ProtoDUNE-HD

DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment currently under construction, whose far detectors will be the largest liquid argon time projection chambers ever built. This detector design calls for custom-built cryogenic front-end electronics to meet its performance requirements. This paper describes the charge readout electronics that will be used in the DUNE horizontal drift (HD) far detector and presents performance results using data from the ProtoDUNE-HD detector, a 770 ton liquid argon time projection chamber operated at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2024 that served as the final prototype of the DUNE HD design.
