More than 170 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), a single-stranded positive-strand RNA virus. Once the human body is infected, it is very likely to develop diseases such as chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and even liver cancer. Currently, the commonly used methods for detecting HCV infection in...

Human serum albumin (HSA) is a protein in human plasma. HSA concentration in the blood or urinary system is a reliable indicator of various diseases such as kidney disease, hypoalbuminemia, etc.The presence of excess HSA in the urine can lead to microalbuminuria, an early marker of cardiovascular disease and kidney...

Triptycene is a molecule with a unique three-dimensional rigid structure composed of three benzene rings (Figure 1). The angles between the three benzene rings are all 120°, forming three open electron-rich cavities. Because its structure resembles a medieval triptych, it is called triptylene. In recent years, its unique structural characteristics...

4,4’-Dibenzoic acid is one of the important monomers for the synthesis of general-purpose high-performance polymers and liquid crystal materials. However, this monomer has shortcomings such as long industrial synthesis route, heavy pollution, low selectivity, and poor biodegradability of the synthesized polymer. Under increasingly severe environmental control and carbon neutrality restrictions,...

4,4’-Dibenzoic acid is one of the important monomers for the synthesis of general-purpose high-performance polymers and liquid crystal materials [1]. However, this monomer has shortcomings such as long industrial synthesis route, heavy pollution, low selectivity, and poor biodegradability of the synthesized polymer. Under increasingly severe environmental control and carbon neutrality...

The disulfide skeleton containing two covalently linked sulfur atoms is an important molecular structure in life sciences, medical sciences, and food chemistry due to its unique pharmacological and physicochemical properties (Figure 1). For example, disulfide bonds in biomolecules play various roles in various biochemical redox processes; the secondary and tertiary...
