TL;DR: This work finds that CENP-C affects nucleosome shape and dynamics in a manner analogous to allosteric regulation of enzymes, and is a prime candidate to stabilize centromeric chromatin.

TL;DR: Both Au corroles exhibited significant phototoxicity against AY27 rat bladder cancer cells while the free-base corroles proved inactive, and both compounds exhibited significant activity as dyes in photodynamic therapy experiments and in dye-sensitized solar cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of triplets is largely controlled by spin-allowed transitions rather than by SOCT-ISC, which can still proceed much faster than ordinary ISC between (π, π*) states because the spin-orbit coupling is 2 orders of magnitude stronger.

TL;DR: Water exchange in lanthanide(III)-DOTA type complexes is investigated and it is shown that introduction of steric bulk into the amide side-chain arms of the europium(III) complexes not only favors formation of the mono-capped twisted square antiprism coordination isomers, the isomer that is generally less favourable for CEST, but also accelerates water exchange.

TL;DR: This work presents the first example of multichromophoric systems in which emissive triplet states are generated via a pathway involving photoinduced electron transfer (ET), as opposed to local intrachromophile processes.
