Post-polymerization modification provides an elegant way to introduce chemical functionalities onto macromolecules to produce tailor-made materials with superior properties. This concept was adapted to well-defined block copolymers of the poly(2-oxazoline) family and demonstrated the large potential of these macromolecules as universal toolkit for numerous applications. Triblock copolymers with separated water-soluble, alkyne- and alkene-containing segments were synthesized and orthogonally modified with various low-molecular weight functional molecules by copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and thiol-ene (TE) click reactions, respectively. Representative toolkit polymers were used for the synthesis of gold, iron oxide and silica nanoparticles.

Page/Page column 114; 119, (2021/04/01)
Photoactive probes and probe systems for detecting biological interactions are described. The photoactive probes include probes that combine both photocleavable and photoreactive moieties. The photoactive probe systems can include a first probe comprising a photocatalytic group and a second probe comprising a group that can act as a substrate for the reaction catalyzed by the photocatalytic group. The probes and probe systems can also include groups that can specifically bind to a binding partner on a biological entity of interest and a detectable group or a precursor thereof. The probes and probe systems can detect spatiotemporal interactions of proteins or cells. In some embodiments, the interactions can be detected in live cells. Also described are methods of detecting the biological interactions.

We report a new strategy to regulate microRNAs (miRNAs) biogenesis by using bifunctional small molecules that consist of a pre-miRNA binding unit connected by a linker to a Dicer inhibiting unit. In this effort, fluorescence polarization-based screening was used to identify neomycin as a pre-miR-21 binding ligand. Although neomycin cannot inhibit miR-21 maturation, linking it to the RNase inhibitor 1 forms the bifunctional conjugate 7A, which inhibits the production of miR-21. We expect that this strategy will be applicable to design other molecules for miRNA regulation.
