Secreted novel AID/APOBEC-like deaminase 1 (SNAD1) – a new important player in fish immunology
The AID/APOBECs are a group of zinc-dependent cytidine deaminases that catalyse the deamination of bases in nucleic acids, resulting in a cytidine to uridine transition. Secreted novel AID/APOBEC-like deaminases (SNADs), characterized by the presence of a signal peptide are unique among all of intracellular classical AID/APOBECs, which are the central part of antibody diversity and antiviral defense. To date, there is no available knowledge on SNADs including protein characterization, biochemical characteristics and catalytic activity. We used various in silico approaches to define the phylogeny of SNADs, their common stru...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1501: Achieving Long-Cycle-Life Zinc-Ion Batteries through a Zincophilic Prussian Blue Analogue Interphase
Deng The practical application of rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) has been severely hindered by detrimental dendrite growth, uncontrollable hydrogen evolution, and unfavorable side reactions occurring at the Zn metal anode. Here, we applied a Prussian blue analogue (PBA) material K2Zn3(Fe(CN)6)2 as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), by which the plentiful -C≡N- ligands at the surface and the large channels in the open framework structure can operate as a highly zincophilic moderator and ion sieve, inducing fast and uniform nucleation and deposition of Zn. Additionally, the d...

Hybrid Hydrogen Bonding Strategy to Construct Instantaneous Self ‐Healing Highly Elastic Ionohydrogel for Multi‐Functional Electronics
This work represents an efficient strategy based on hybrid hydrogen bonding to construct instantaneous room temperature self-healing highly elastic ionohydrogel. Combining this strategy with the ternary solvent system formed by mixing ionic liquids, inorganic salt, and water, the resulting multi-functional ionohydrogel can be used to fabricate self-healing ionic skin and anti-freezing battery. AbstractGels show great promise for applications in wearable electronics, biomedical devices, and energy storage systems due to their exceptional stretchability and adjustable electrical conductivity. However, the challenge lies in i...
