Since its discovery, cadmium (Cd) has played an important role in industry and brought
certain conveniences to mankind, used for electroplating and making rechargeable …

Traditionally, drugs are monovalent, targeting only one site on the protein surface. This
includes orthosteric and allosteric drugs, which bind the protein at orthosteric and allosteric …

Iron-based spin-crossover complexes hold tremendous promise as multifunctional switches
in molecular devices. However, real-world technological applications require the excited …

Observing proteins as they perform their tasks has largely remained elusive, which has left
our understanding of protein function fundamentally incomplete. To enable such …

One of the most challenging tasks in biological science is to understand how a protein folds.
In theoretical studies, the hypothesis adopting a funnel-like free-energy landscape has been …

Understanding the process of chemical reactions has always been a relentless pursuit for
chemists. The development of femtosecond pump-probe techniques since the 1980s has …

OLED technology beyond small or expensive devices requires light-emitters, luminophores,
based on earth-abundant elements. Understanding and experimental verification of charge …

Conspectus Molecular assemblies have been widely applied to functional soft materials in a
variety of fields. Liquid crystal is one of the representative molecular soft materials in which …

Understanding protein structure and kinetics under physiological conditions is crucial for
elucidating complex biological processes. While time-resolved (TR) techniques have …

The structure of a protein is closely related to its biological function. In this regard, structural
changes, as well as static structures, have been scrutinized as essential elements in …
