In celebration of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

The 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was jointly awarded to  Tomas Lindahl, former director of Cancer Research UK’s Clare Hall Laboratories, Paul Modrich from Duke University in the US and Aziz Sancar from the University of North Carolina in the US  for their  “mechanistic studies of DNA repair”.

Tomas Lindahl’s research pieced together a molecular image of how base excision repairs DNA when a base of a nucleotide is damaged and subsequently managed to recreate the human repair process in vitro. The mechanism known as nucleotide excision repair, which excises damage from UV and carcinogenic substances, was then mapped by Aziz Sancar – the molecular details of this process changed the entire research field. Paul Modrich also studied the human version of the repair system. His work focused on DNA mismatch repair, a natural process which corrects mismatches that occur when DNA is copied during cell division.

The research carried out by the three 2015 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry has not only revolutionised our knowledge of how we function but also lead to the development of life – saving treatments. To celebrate these remarkable achievements, we are delighted to present a collection of recent Chemical Communications, Chemical Science and Chemical Society Reviews articles on DNA repair, FREE to read until 1 December 2015!

We invite you to submit your best research related to DNA repair mechanisms to Chemical Communications, Chemical Science and Chemical Society Reviews!

Incorporating DNA hydrogels into enzymatic biofuel cells

Iain Larmour is a guest web writer for ChemSci. He has researched a wide variety of topics during his years in the lab including nanostructured surfaces for water repellency and developing nanoparticle systems for bioanalysis by surface enhanced optical spectroscopies. He currently works in science management. In his spare time he enjoys reading, photography, art and inventing.

I remember a time when mobile phones weren’t so power hungry, and when my phone could go a week on one charge. Admittedly, that was before it had a colour screen, internet connectivity and a hundred other bells and whistles. Increased device connectivity, in particular, has led to a huge increase in power demands and the need for better battery technology.

Wouldn’t it be marvellous if your phone battery generated its power from a wide selection of renewable sources? Khiem Van Nguyen and Shelly Minteer from the University of Utah look toward this possibility in their most recent ChemComm, which describes the use of DNA hydrogels in the production of an enzymatic biofuel cell.

The authors describe how they used the self-assembly of DNA monomers under physiological conditions to form a DNA hydrogel capable of trapping glucose oxidase, the most widely used enzyme in enzymatic biofuel cells. This DNA hydrogel remains permeable to small molecules, such as the battery fuel, whilst successfully trapping the enzyme close to the electrode surface.  Enzyme immobilization on the electrode surface is critical to achieve an effective enzymatic biofuel cell, and this model biobattery was shown to have a similar performance to previously reportedglucose oxidase biofuel cells.

Entrapment of glucose oxidase in DNA hydrogel

With enzymes capable of oxidising a wide range of fuels, from alcohols and carbohydrates to amino acids, it may not be too long until a multi-enzyme biobattery is created that can be powered by the sweat from your skin. Then you’ll be able to browse the internet wherever and whenever you want…provided you have signal, of course.

To read the details, check out the ChemComm article in full:
Investigating DNA hydrogels as a new biomaterial for enzyme immobilization in biobatteries
Khiem Van Nguyen and Shelley D Minteer
Chem. Commun., 2015, 51, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/C5CC04810A

Hotter and hotter: increasing the potential of gold nanostars

Iain Larmour is a guest web writer for ChemSci. He has researched a wide variety of topics during his years in the lab including nanostructured surfaces for water repellency and developing nanoparticle systems for bioanalysis by surface enhanced optical spectroscopies. He currently works in science management. In his spare time he enjoys reading, photography, art and inventing.

Gold nanostars are gold nanoparticles with multiple branches, a shape which gives rise to their unique properties. These nanoparticles have tuneable localized surface plasmon resonances in the biologically transparent near-IR window, and excitation of these plasmons using a laser creates a local temperature  increase. For this reason, gold nanostars have potential for use in non-invasive antitumoral and antibiofilm laser treatments.

The problem faced by scientists, however, is how to achieve a temperature increase that is large enough to be effective, without exposing the overlying skin to a level of irradiation that exceeds the safe limits. This is what Piersandro Pallavicini from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pavia, and an international team of colleagues, set out to investigate.

They generated gold nanostars with plasmon resonances at 835 and 1530 nm, respectively. Each of these plasmons could be irradiated separately, leading to observable increases in temperature. However, when both plasmons were irradiated simultaneously, the temperature increase was equal to the sum of the temperature increases when the plasmons were irradiated separately.

Temperature increases observed from the laser excitation of individual or multiple plasmon resonances of gold nanostars

The implication of these findings is that Pallavicini and colleagues successfully found a way to obtain a larger local temperature increase using irradiation that remains below the safe limits. This significantly increases the potential of gold nanostars for application in the in the treatment of biofilm growth on implants in vivo.

To find out the full details of the additive temperature effect, read the ChemComm article today – it’s free to access until 21st October 2015:

Monolayers of gold nanostars with two near-IR LSPRs capable of additive photothermal response
Piersandro Pallavicini, Simone Basile, Giuseppe Chirico, Giacomo Dacarro, Laura D’Alfonso, Alice Dona, Maddalena Patrini, Andrea Falqui, Laura Sironi and Angelo Taglietti

Connecting electrodes with light illuminates electrochemistry

Danielle Whittaker writes about a hot Chemical Science article for Chemistry World

Scientists in Australia have lit the path towards replacing wires in electrochemical devices by using visible light to create electrical currents on a stabilised silicon semiconductor electrode.

Electrodes in conventional devices must be connected to an external electrical circuit, often requiring a mesh of wires and bonding pads to produce an array of independently controlled electrodes. These components take up a vast amount of space on electronic chips, limiting the electrode density. Read the full article in Chemistry World»

Electric switch makes helix change hands

Elisabeth Ratcliffe writes about a hot ChemComm article for Chemistry World

Electric fields can switch both the net dipole moment and the helical handedness of helical supramolecular structures, according to a theoretical study by scientists in India.

Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) molecules self-assemble, by hydrogen bonding, into columnar structures with a macrodipole moment along their stacking direction. Each BTA molecule can form three hydrogen bonds by using oxygen atoms in the amide groups and the direction of these hydrogen bonds determines the direction of the dipole moment. Read the full article in Chemistry World»

Application of an electric field in the direction opposite to that of the macrodipole reverses the handedness of the structure
