  • Publication number: 20250257095
    Abstract: A method for visible light-mediated chemical modification of a polypeptide or protein based on cysteine includes the following steps: allowing a cysteine residue on a cysteine-containing oligopeptide, polypeptide, or protein to undergo a reaction with an activating reagent to generate a free radical precursor in situ; and subjecting the free radical precursor to desulfurization under photocatalytic condition, and allowing the generated free radical intermediate to undergo an addition reaction with an olefin or an alkyne, such that sulfhydryl removal and carbon-carbon bond construction are achieved to produce a chemical modification product of the polypeptide and protein. The method cleverly avoids the influence on the chiral center, and thus the chirality of the amino acid residue can be retained. The method is conducive to well avoiding the occurrence of side reactions, and thus the efficiency of the entire conversion is very high.

  • Publication number: 20250154407
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescent device includes a substrate, a first electrode, an organic light-emitting functional layer and a second electrode. The first electrode is located on the substrate, the organic light-emitting functional layer is located on the first electrode, and the second electrode is located on the organic light-emitting functional layer. The organic light-emitting functional layer includes a light-emitting layer. The light-emitting layer includes a boron-nitrogen compound. A boron-nitrogen parent nucleus of the boron-nitrogen compound defines that arylamine groups and a thiophene segment are paired with and connected to characteristic groups that are located on an edge of the boron-nitrogen compound. In this way, the boron-nitrogen compound may have good matching with an anthracene-based host material, which is conducive to the transmission of electrons and holes.
