switching H₂O to D₂O💧we show that deuterated water speeds up droplet formation & drives directional motion—no external fuel, no pH tweaks, just isotope gradient. Out now in @J_A_C_S: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Deuterated Water Accelerates Phase-Separated Droplet Formation and Enables Directional Motion

The spatiotemporal coordination of compartment formation and directed transport is fundamental to the cellular organization. However, replicating these coupled behaviors in fully aqueous synthetic sys...

Our Phd student Jinghui Yang did DCC in living cells and monitored the process by fluorescence changes. Want to read more? See our recent pub in : Cell Reports Physical Science www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Oxidation-driven synthetic molecular networks enable dynamic assembly and fluorescence modulation in living cells

Yang et al. present an oxidation-driven synthetic molecular network that undergoes reversible macrocyclization and co-assembly with an aggregation-induced emission luminogen to autonomously assemble i...

Following the single chain polymer folding work, we also reported in @angewandtechem.bsky.social that byproducts from two orthogonal reactions aid each other's production, showing a similar mutualistic relationship in ecosystems. Interested? See 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Mutualistic Synthesis from Orthogonal Dynamic Covalent Reactions

Mutualisms are interactions that benefit all species involved. It has been widely investigated in neighbouring subjects, such as biology, ecology, sociology, and economics. However, such a reciprocal....

We recently developed DCC as a new crosslinking chemistry for the single-chain polymer folding. See the recent publication in @angewandtechem.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Self‐Adaptive Synthesis of Non‐Covalent Crosslinkers while Folding Single‐Chain Polymers

Peptide folding is a dynamic process driven by non-covalent cross-linking leading to functional nanostructures for essential biochemical activities. However, replicating this process in synthetic sys....
