Abstract
Maintaining safe and potent pharmaceutical drug levels is often challenging. Multidomain peptides (MDPs) assemble into supramolecular hydrogels with a well-defined, highly porous nanostructure that makes them attractive for drug delivery, yet their ability to extend release is typically limited by rapid drug diffusion. To overcome this challenge, we developed self-assembling boronate ester release (SABER) MDPs capable of engaging in dynamic covalent bonding with payloads containing boronic acids (BAs). As examples, we demonstrate that SABER hydrogels can prolong the release of five BA-containing small-molecule drugs as well as BA-modified insulin and antibodies. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that SABER hydrogels extended the therapeutic effect of ganfeborole from days to weeks, preventing Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth better than repeated oral administration in an infection model. Similarly, SABER hydrogels extended insulin activity, maintaining normoglycemia for six days in diabetic mice after a single injection. These results suggest that SABER hydrogels present broad potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
The complex dynamics and transience of assembly pathways in living systems complicate the understanding of these molecular to nanoscale processes. Current technologies are unable to track the molecular events leading to the onset of assembly, where real-time information is imperative to correlate their rich biology. Using a chemically designed pro-assembling molecule, we map its transformation into nanofibers and their fusion with endosomes to form hollow fiber clusters. Tracked by phasor-fluorescence lifetime imaging (phasor-FLIM) in epithelial cells (L929, A549, MDA-MB 231) and correlative light-electron microscopy and tomography (CLEM), spatiotemporal splicing of the assembly events shows time-correlated metabolic dysfunction. The biological impact begins with assembly-induced endosomal disruption that reduces glucose transport into the cells, which, in turn, stymies mitochondrial respiration.

Abstract
Several hydrogels with boronate/diol ester cross-linking have been reported. However, multiple synthetic steps or expensive reagents are required to modify some diol moieties into polymers. Therefore, diol-modified polymers, which are easily and inexpensively prepared via a single-step process, are required for the formation of boronate esters. This study reports a novel hydrogel composed of phenylboronic acid-modified hyaluronic acid and salicylic acid-modified hyaluronic acid. This hydrogel is injectable, can self-heal at physiological pH, and can be easily and inexpensively prepared. The polymer system behaved as a sol at pH 12.0 and a weak gel at pH 9.4 and 11.2, whereas it behaved as a gel over a wide pH range of 4.0-8.2. The viscoelasticity of the system decreased in response to sugar at pH 7.3. Thus, salicylic acid can be considered a promising diol moiety for hydrogel formation via boronate ester cross-linking.

Abstract
Mandelate racemase (MR) catalyzes the Mg2+-dependent interconversion of (R)- and (S)-mandelate by stabilizing the altered substrate in the transition state (TS) by ∼26 kcal/mol. The enzyme has been employed as a model to explore the limits to which the free energy of TS stabilization may be captured by TS analogues to effect strong binding. Herein, we determined the thermodynamic parameters accompanying binding of a series of bromo-, chloro-, and fluoro-substituted phenylboronic acids (PBAs) by MR and found that binding was predominately driven by favorable entropy changes. 3,4-Dichloro-PBA was discovered to be the most potent inhibitor yet identified for MR, binding with a Kdapp value of 11 ± 2 nM and exceeding the binding of the substrate by ∼72,000-fold. The ΔCp value accompanying binding (-488 ± 18 cal·mol-1 K-1) suggested that dispersion forces contribute significantly to the binding. The pH-dependence of the inhibition revealed that MR preferentially binds the anionic, tetrahedral form of 3,4-dichloro-PBA with a pH-independent Ki value of 5.7 ± 0.5 nM, which was consistent with the observed upfield shift of the 11B NMR signal. The linear free energy relationship between log(kcat/Km) and log(1/Ki) for wild-type and 11 MR variants binding 3,4-dichloro-PBA had a slope of 0.8 ± 0.2, indicating that MR recognizes the inhibitor as an analogue of the TS. Hence, halogen substitution may be utilized to capture additional free energy of TS stabilization arising from dispersion forces to enhance the binding of boronic acid inhibitors by MR.

Abstract
Boronic acids and boronate esters find appreciable use in chemical biology. Molecules containing orthogonal boronic acid pairs can be utilized for sequential metal-catalyzed cross-couplings for facile preparation of complex bioconjugates including protein-protein conjugates. In this paper, we expand bis-boronic acid reagents for tandem covalent and dynamic bioconjugation. Sequential cross-coupling of 2-nitroarylboronic acid with cysteine residues and condensation of phenylboronic acid with salicylhydroxamic acids (SHA) readily afforded bioconjugates under physiological conditions with dual covalent and dynamic linkages. Both small molecule- and macromolecule-protein conjugates were amenable with this approach and reversible upon addition of excess unfunctionalized SHA or reactive oxygen species. These investigations provide new insights into the kinetic stability of SHA adducts.

Abstract
Nanostructure-based functions are omnipresent in nature and essential for the diversity of life. Unlike small molecules, which are often inhibitors of enzymes or biomimetics with established methods of elucidation, we show that functions of nanoscale structures in cells are complex and can implicate system-level effects such as the regulation of energy and redox homeostasis. Herein, we design a platinum(II)-containing tripeptide that assembles into intracellular fibrillar nanostructures upon molecular rearrangement in the presence of endogenous H2O2. The formed nanostructures blocked metabolic functions, including aerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, thereby shutting down ATP production. As a consequence, ATP-dependent actin formation and glucose metabolite-dependent histone deacetylase activity are downregulated. We demonstrate that assembly-driven nanomaterials offer a rich avenue to achieve broad-spectrum bioactivities that could provide new opportunities in drug discovery.

Abstract
In dynamic materials, the reversible condensation between boronic acids and diols provides adaptability, self-healing ability, and responsiveness to small molecules and pH. The thermodynamics and kinetics of bond exchange determine the mechanical properties of dynamic polymer networks. Here, we investigate the effects of diol structure and salt additives on the rate of boronic acid-diol bond exchange, binding affinity, and the mechanical properties of the corresponding polymer networks. We find that proximal amides used to conjugate diols to polymers and buffering anions induce significant rate acceleration, consistent with an internal and external catalysis, respectively. This rate acceleration is reflected in the stress relaxation of the gels. These findings contribute to the fundamental understanding of the boronic ester dynamic bond and offer molecular strategies to tune the macromolecular properties of dynamic materials.

Abstract
Boron was misconstrued as a toxic element for animals, which retarded the growth of boron-containing drug discovery in the last century. Nevertheless, modern applications of boronic acid derivatives are attractive in biomedical applications after the declaration that boron is a 'probable essential element' for humans by the WHO. Additionally, the approval of five boronic acid-containing drugs by the FDA has vastly impacted the use of boron in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, drug delivery, biomaterial exploration, pharmacological improvements, and nutrition. This review article focuses on the chemistries attributed to boronic acids at physiological pH, enticing chemists to multidisciplinary applications. Prospective uses of boronic acid in pharma and chemical biology, along with prospects and challenges, are also part of the deliberation. Understanding these fundamental chemistries and interactions of boronic acid in biological systems will enable solving future challenges in drug discovery and executing space-age applications.

Abstract
Various boron-containing drugs have been approved for clinical use over the past two decades, and more are currently in clinical trials. The increasing interest in boron-containing compounds is due to their unique binding properties to biological targets; for example, boron substitution can be used to modulate biological activity, pharmacokinetic properties, and drug resistance. In this perspective, we aim to comprehensively review the current status of boron compounds in drug discovery, focusing especially on progress from 2015 to December 2020. We classify these compounds into groups showing anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and other activities, and discuss the biological targets associated with each activity, as well as potential future developments.

Abstract
Selective methods for introducing protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) within living cells have proven valuable for interrogating their biological function. In contrast to enzymatic methods, abiotic catalysis should offer access to diverse and new-to-nature PTMs. Herein, we report the boronate-assisted hydroxamic acid (BAHA) catalyst system, which comprises a protein ligand, a hydroxamic acid Lewis base, and a diol moiety. In concert with a boronic acid-bearing acyl donor, our catalyst leverages a local molarity effect to promote acyl transfer to a target lysine residue. Our catalyst system employs micromolar reagent concentrations and affords minimal off-target protein reactivity. Critically, BAHA is resistant to glutathione, a metabolite which has hampered many efforts toward abiotic chemistry within living cells. To showcase this methodology, we installed a variety of acyl groups in E. coli dihydrofolate reductase expressed within human cells. Our results further establish the well-known boronic acid-diol complexation as a bona fide bio-orthogonal reaction with applications in chemical biology and in-cell catalysis.

Abstract
o-Carbonyl arylboronic acids such as 2-formylphenylboronic acid (2-FPBA) are employed in biocompatible conjugation reactions with the resulting iminoboronate adduct stabilized by an intramolecular N-B interaction. However, few studies have utilized these reagents as active site-directed enzyme inhibitors. We show that 2-FPBA is a potent reversible, slow-onset inhibitor of mandelate racemase (MR), an enzyme that has served as a valuable paradigm for understanding enzyme-catalyzed abstraction of an α-proton from a carbon acid substrate with a high pKa. Kinetic analysis of the progress curves for the slow onset of inhibition of wild-type MR using a two-step kinetic mechanism gave Ki and Ki* values of 5.1 ± 1.8 and 0.26 ± 0.08 μM, respectively. Hence, wild-type MR binds 2-FPBA with an affinity that exceeds that for the substrate by ∼3000-fold. K164R MR was inhibited by 2-FPBA, while K166R MR was not inhibited, indicating that Lys 166 was essential for inhibition. Unexpectedly, mass spectrometric analysis of the NaCNBH3-treated enzyme-inhibitor complex did not yield evidence of an iminoboronate adduct. 11B nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the MR·2-FPBA complex indicated that the boron atom was sp3-hybridized (δ 6.0), consistent with dative bond formation. Surprisingly, X-ray crystallography revealed the formation of an Nζ-B dative bond between Lys 166 and 2-FPBA with intramolecular cyclization to form a benzoxaborole, rather than the expected iminoboronate. Thus, when o-carbonyl arylboronic acid reagents are employed to modify proteins, the structure of the resulting product depends on the protein architecture at the site of modification.

Abstract
We report here on protein-antibody conjugates (PACs) that are used for antibody-directed delivery of protein therapeutics to specific cells. PACs have the potential to judiciously combine the merits of two prolific therapeutic approaches-biologics and antibody-drug conjugates. We utilize spherical polymer brushes to construct PACs using the combination of two simple and efficient functionally orthogonal click chemistries. In addition to the synthesis and characterization of these nanoparticles, we demonstrate that PACs are indeed capable of specifically targeting cells based on the presence of target antigen on the cell surface to deliver proteins. The potentially broad adaptability of PACs opens up new opportunities for targeted biologics in therapeutics and sensing.

Abstract
Phenylboronic acid (PBA) forms neutral tetrahedral N,O-coordinated 6-membered cyclic complexes with stability constants reaching the values as large as 1.3 × 104 M-1 at pH 7.4 in water with amino phenolic compounds including 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazole (HPBI) often used for protein probing and labeling. The crystal structures of isolated complexes demonstrate unusually high for boronate adducts degree of the tetrahedral character of the boron atom with short B-N bonds in agreement with their high solution stability. The complexation of PBA with HPBI, causes a strong enhancement of the fluorescence of the "enol" form of the ligand, increases the affinity of the dye to a protein (bovine serum albumin) and makes more pronounced the shift in emission maximum induced by the protein binding. Similar, but larger effects are observed with an amino HPBI derivative and with a stronger boronic acid benzoxaborole. Thus, the binding constant to the protein about 2 × 104 M-1 for free HPBI increases to 1.2 × 106 M-1 for the complex of 5-amino-HPBI with benzoxaborole making it suitable for an efficient non-covalent protein labeling or bioconjugation.

Abstract
We had previously confirmed a glucose-responsive decrease in the viscosity of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and phenylboronic acid (PBA) wormlike micelle (WLM) systems. However, the mechanisms of the formation of WLMs and the decrease in viscosity with glucose addition have not been determined. In this study, we elucidated the mechanisms using 3-fluorophenylboronic acid (3FPBA) based on 11B NMR and 19F NMR analyses. The system in 60 mM CTAB/60 mM 3FPBA at pH 7.4 demonstrated high viscoelasticity, and the formation of WLMs in the system was confirmed by rheological characteristics. The 11B NMR spectrum at pH 7.4 revealed that 3FPBA existed in a neutral form with sp2-hybridized boron; however, the 11B signal disappeared in the presence of CTAB. In contrast, 19F NMR studies indicated that the quaternary ammonium ion of CTAB interacts with the phenyl group of 3FPBA in the sp2 form via cation-π interactions. PBA derivatives react with various polyols; thus, we investigated the change in the viscous system after the addition of sugar and sugar alcohols. The viscosity of the WLMs decreased with increased polyol concentration, especially those of fructose and mannitol, in which the decrease was apparent at 40-160 mM polyols. The 19F NMR spectra revealed that polyol addition induced decrease in the sp2 form of 3FPBA and increase in the sp3 form of 3FPBA. Based on the results, we propose the following mechanism of the polyol response: (1) The WLMs are stabilized by CTAB and 3FPBA in the sp2 form using cation-π interactions as the driving force. (2) When polyol is added to the system, the sp2 form of 3FPBA decreases and its sp3 form increases. (3) This change means that the structural component of WLMs decreases, which induces the disruption of WLMs, and the viscosity decreases. The formation and deformation mechanisms of the WLMs determined in this study are notable because 3FPBA interacts as a neutral compound, whereas CTAB often interacts with anionic aromatic compounds to form WLMs. Without 19F NMR measurements, these mechanisms would not have been discovered.

Abstract
Cyclic boronate esters play important roles in organic synthesis, pharmacology, supramolecular chemistry and materials science owing to their stability in air and versatile reactivity. Most of these compounds contain a B-O-C linkage with an alkoxy- or carboxylate group bound to the boron atom (e.g. boronate-diol esters, MIDA boronates). Boron chelates comprising a B-O-N motif (BON heterocycles) are much less explored, although first representatives of this class were prepared in the early 1960s. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in BON heterocycles as new chemotypes for drug design. The exocyclic B-O-N linkage, which is readily formed under mild conditions, shows surprising hydrolytic and thermal resistance. This allows the formation of BON heterocycles to be used as click-type reactions for the preparation of bioconjugates and functionally modified polymers. We believe that BON heterocycles are promising yet underrated organoboron derivatives. This review summarizes the scattered information about known types of BON heterocycles, including their synthesis, reactivity and structural data. Available applications of BON heterocycles in materials science and medicinal chemistry, along with their prospects, are also discussed. The bibliography contains 289 references.

Abstract
Recently, reversible click reactions have found numerous applications in chemical biology, supramolecular chemistry, and biomedical applications. Boronic acid (BA)-mediated cis-diol conjugation is one of the best-studied reactions among them. An excellent understanding of the chemical properties and biocompatibility of BA-based compounds has inspired the exploration of novel chemistries using boron to fuel emergent sciences. This topical review focuses on the recent progress of iminoboronate and salicylhydroxamic-boronate constituted reversible click chemistries in the past decade. We highlight the mechanism of reversible kinetics and its applications in chemical biology, medicinal chemistry, biomedical devices, and material chemistry. This article also emphasizes the fundamental reactivity of these two conjugate chemistries with assorted nucleophiles at variable pHs, which is of utmost importance to any stimuli-responsive biological and material chemistry explorations.

Abstract
Pollen grain was explored as a new carrier for enzyme immobilization. After being modified with boric acid-functionalized titania, the pollen grain was able to covalently immobilize glycosylated enzymes by boronate affinity interaction under very mild experimental conditions (e.g., pH 7.0, ambient temperature and free of organic solvent). The glucose oxidase and horse radish peroxidase-immobilized pollen grain became a bienzyme system. The pollen grain also worked as an indicator of the cascade reaction by changing its color. A rapid, simple and cost-effective approach for the visual detection of glucose was then developed. When the glucose concentration exceeded 0.5 mM, the color change was observable by the naked eye. The assay of glucose in body fluid samples exhibited its great potential for practical application.

Abstract
Boronic acids have been successfully employed as inhibitors of hydrolytic enzymes. Typically, an enzymatic nucleophile catalyzing hydrolysis adds to the electrophilic boron atom forming a tetrahedral species that mimics the intermediate(s)/transition state(s) for the hydrolysis reaction. We show that para-substituted phenylboronic acids (PBAs) are potent competitive inhibitors of mandelate racemase (MR), an enzyme that catalyzes a 1,1-proton transfer rather than a hydrolysis reaction. The Ki value for PBA was 1.8 ± 0.1 μM, and p-Cl-PBA exhibited the most potent inhibition (Ki = 81 ± 4 nM), exceeding the binding affinity of the substrate by ∼4 orders of magnitude. Isothermal titration calorimetric studies with the wild-type, K166M, and H297N MR variants indicated that, of the two Brønsted acid-base catalysts Lys 166 and His 297, the former made the greater contribution to inhibitor binding. The X-ray crystal structure of the MR·PBA complex revealed the presence of multiple H-bonds between the boronic acid hydroxyl groups and the side chains of active site residues, as well as formation of a His 297 Nε2-B dative bond. The dramatic upfield change in chemical shift of 27.2 ppm in the solution-phase 11B nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum accompanying binding of PBA by MR was consistent with an sp3-hybridized boron, which was also supported by density-functional theory calculations. These unprecedented findings suggest that, beyond substituting boron at carbon centers participating in hydrolysis reactions, substitution of boron at the acidic carbon center of a substrate furnishes a new approach for generating inhibitors of enzymes catalyzing the deprotonation of carbon acid substrates.

Abstract
The interaction of pinanediol with 2-fluorophenylboronic acid and several other substituted phenylboronic acids was studied in 40% vol. aqueous acetonitrile by 1H and 11B NMR, potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations at variable pH values. The experimental results reveal the formation of a very stable trigonal ester (Ktrig ≈ 2 × 104 M-1) and a significantly less stable tetrahedral hydroxocomplex (Ktet ≈ 5 × 103 M-1) in contrast to the traditionally observed inverted order of stabilities Ktrig < Ktet. Comparison of the crystal structure of the trigonal ester isolated from aqueous acetonitrile with the DFT simulated structure of the respective hydroxocomplex shows that an unusual order of stabilities Ktrig > Ktet is observed in spite of the existence of the usual strain release effect in the O-B-O angle considered responsible for the typically observed increased stability of the tetrahedral hydroxocomplex. A complementary study of the stability of the six-membered cyclic boronate esters of chromotropic acid demonstrated the order Ktrig ≪ Ktet although the strain was absent in these esters. The results for m-, p-substituted phenylboronic acids show that the stability of both five- and six-membered trigonal esters formed with pinanediol and chromotropic acid, respectively, is insensitive to electronic effects but the electron accepting substituents stabilize the hydroxocomplexes. It follows from the whole set of results that Ktet can be much larger than Ktrig in the absence of the strain, but with a sufficiently acidic diol, and that the presence of the strain does not necessarily make Ktet larger than Ktrig for a less acidic diol with a purely saturated hydrocarbon backbone. Thus, the electronic effects manifested in the acidity of the diol appear to be more significant than the strain release effect in determining the Ktet/Ktrig ratio.

Abstract
Cancer is a condition where there is an uncontrolled growth of cells resulting in high mortality. It is the second most frequent cause of death worldwide. Bortezomib (BTZ) is a Proteasome Inhibitor (PI) that is used for the treatment of a variety of cancers. It is the first PI that has received the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat mantle cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma. High incidence of sideeffects, limited dose, low water solubility, fast clearance, and drug resistance are the significant limitations of BTZ. Therefore, various drug delivery systems have been tried to overcome these limitations of BTZ in cancer therapy. Nanotechnology can potentially enhance the aqueous solubility of BTZ, increase its bioavailability, and control the release of BTZ at the site of administration. The lipid-based nanocarriers, such as liposomes, solid lipid NPs, and microemulsions, are some of the developments in nanotechnology, which could potentially enhance the therapeutic benefits of BTZ.

Abstract
Chemical modification of natural proteins must navigate difficult selectivity questions in a complex polyfunctional aqueous environment, within a narrow window of acceptable conditions. Limits on solvent mixtures, pH, and temperature create challenges for most synthetic methods. While a protein's complex polyfunctional environment undoubtedly creates challenges for traditional reactions, we wondered if it also might create opportunities for pursuing new bioconjugation reactivity directly on protein substrates. This Account describes our efforts to date to discover and develop new and useful reactivity for protein modification by starting from an open-ended screen of potential transition-metal catalysts for boronic acid reactivity with a model protein substrate. By starting from a broad screen, we were hoping to take advantage of the very many potential reactive sites on even a small model protein. And perhaps more importantly, whole proteins as reaction screening substrates might exhibit uniquely reactive local environments, the results of a dense combination of functional groups that would be nearly impossible to mimic in a small-molecule context. This effort has resulted in the discovery of four new protein modification reactions with boronic acid reagents, including a remarkable modification of specific backbone N-H bonds. This histidine-directed Chan-Lam coupling, based on specific proximity of an imidazole and two amide groups, is one important example of powerful reactivity that depends on a combination of functional groups that proteins make possible. Other bioconjugation reactions uncovered include a three-component tyrosine metalation with rhodium(III), a nickel-catalyzed cysteine arylation, and an unusual ascorbate-mediated oxidative process for N-terminal modification. The remarkably broad scope of reactivity types encountered in this work is a testament to the breadth of boronic acid reactivity. It is also a demonstration of the diverse reactivities that are possible by the combined alteration of boronic acid structure and metal promoter. The discovery of specific backbone modification chemistry has been a broadly empowering reactivity. Pyroglutamate, a naturally occurring posttranslational modification, exhibits remarkably high reactivity in histidine-directed backbone modification, which allows us to treat pyroglutamate as a reactive bioorthogonal handle that is readily incorporated into proteins of interest by natural machinery. In another research direction, the development of a vinylogous photocleavage system has allowed us to view backbone modification as a photocaging modification which is released by exposure to light.

Abstract
Phenylboronic acids (PBAs) are an important class of compounds with diverse applications in synthetic, biological, medicinal, and materials chemistry. In this investigation we report structural and thermochemical parameters for several monosubstituted ortho, meta, and para PBAs, R-B(OH)2 (R = C6H5, C6H4CH3, C6H4NH2, C6H4OH, and C6H4F). Equilibrium geometries of all the PBAs discussed in this article were obtained using second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) with the Dunning-Woon aug-cc-pVDZ basis set; heats of formation (HOF) were calculated at the Gaussian-3 (G3) level of theory. The endo-exo conformers of all the positional isomers of these PBAs were lowest in energy. Using HOF for the monosubstituted PBAs calculated at the G3 level of theory, in conjunction with the experimental HOF for benzene, toluene, aniline, phenol, and fluorobenzene, the values of [Formula: see text] for the transfer processes C6H6 + C6H4X-B(OH)2 → C6H5X + C6H5-B(OH)2 (X = CH3, NH2, OH, and F) are found to be in good agreement with values of [Formula: see text] calculated at the MP2(FC)/aug-cc-pVTZ//MP2(FC)/aug-cc-pVTZ computational level; the bonding in the reactants and products for these transfer reactions are well-matched and thermochemical calculations at this level are expected to be very accurate, providing checks on the G3 HOF calculations.

Abstract
We propose a novel alternative approach to long-term glycaemic monitoring using eggshell membranes (ESMs) as a new immobilising platform for the selective label-free electrochemical sensing of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), a vital clinical index of the glycaemic status in diabetic individuals. Due to the unique features of a novel 3-aminophenylboronic acid-modified ESM, selective binding was obtained via cis-diol interactions. This newly developed device provides clinical applicability as an affinity membrane-based biosensor for the identification of HbA1c over a clinically relevant range (2.3 - 14 %) with a detection limit of 0.19%. The proposed membrane-based biosensor also exhibited good reproducibility. When analysing normal and abnormal HbA1c levels, the within-run coefficients of variation were 1.68 and 1.83%, respectively. The run-to-run coefficients of variation were 1.97 and 2.02%, respectively. These results demonstrated that this method achieved the precise and selective measurement of HbA1c. Compared with a commercial HbA1c kit, the results demonstrated excellent agreement between the techniques (n = 15), demonstrating the clinical applicability of this sensor for monitoring glycaemic control. Thus, this low-cost sensing platform using the proposed membrane-based biosensor is ideal for point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
Boronic esters between 1,2-benzodiols and boronic acids are an efficient way for bioconjugation. The ester is stable at physiological condition, but it cleaves very slowly at acidic pH values found in the endosomes and lysosomes. During apoptosis, the boronic ester is cleaved, most likely due to the influx of Ca2+ ions and the oxidation of 1,2-benzodiols.

Abstract
It is of substantial interest to mimic mechanisms of biological sensing systems for the development of novel biosensors. This paper presents a novel biomimetic bitter receptor-based biosensor for the detection of specific bitter substances, in which bitter receptors were used as sensitive elements for the first time. A simple and practical self-assembled aptamer-based strategy was proposed for functional immobilization and purification of bitter receptors. A human bitter receptor, T2R4, was expressed on the plasma membrane of HEK-293 cells and fused with a His6-tag on its C-terminal. The membrane fractions containing the expressed T2R4 were extracted and immobilized on the gold surface of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) pretreated with a monolayer of self-assembled aptamers that can specifically recognize and capture biomolecules labeled with His6-tags. The QCM device was used to monitor the responses of T2R4 to various bitter stimuli. The results indicate that this biosensor can detect denatonium with high sensitivity and specificity, which is the specific target of T2R4. In addition, this biosensor shows dose-dependent responses to a certain concentration range of denatonium. The sensitivity of bitter receptor-based biosensors prepared by an aptamer-based method is 1.21 kHz mM(-1), which is 2 times higher than that prepared by a SAM-based method. The major advances on bitter receptor immobilization and purification presented in this work could substantially be very useful for developing other membrane receptor-based biosensors and molecular sensor arrays. This bitter receptor-based biosensor has great potential to be used as a valuable tool for bitter detection as well as for the research of taste signal transduction.

Abstract
In this report, a Passerini three-component reaction utilizing boron-containing carboxylic acids or aldehydes is discussed. The reaction was carried out in water and facilitated by the use of microwave irradiation. This methodology allowed for the efficient formation of a broad range of boron-containing α-acyloxyamides under mild conditions within a short time. Two series of boron-containing α-acyloxyamides were synthesized and subsequently screened for cytotoxicity using the MTT cell viability assay. Two potential lead compounds were found to have potent activity against the HepG2 cancer cell line, demonstrating the potential of this methodology for use in the development of novel pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
In this study, a novel technique was used for the reversible attachment of folic acid on the surface of polymeric micelles for a tumor-specific drug delivery system. The reversible conjugation is based on the interaction between phenylboronic acid (PBA) and dopamine to form a borate ester. The conjugation is fast and efficient and in vitro experiments via confocal fluorescent microscopy show that the linker is stable in for several hours. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was used to synthesize two various sized water-soluble block copolymer of oligoethylene glycol methylether methacylate and methyl acrylic acid (POEGMEMA(35)-b-PMAA(200) and POEGMEMA(26)-b-PMAA(90)). The platinum drug, oxoplatin, was then subsequently attached to the polymer via ester formation leading to platinum loading of 12 wt % as determined by TGA. The platinum-induced amphiphilic block copolymers that consequently led to the formation of micelles of sizes 150 and 20 nm in an aqueous environment with the longer PMAA block forming larger micelles. The small micelles were in addition cross-linked using 1,8-diaminooctane to further stabilize their structure. The targeting ability of folate conjugated polymeric micelles was investigated against two types of tumor cell lines: A549 (-FR) and OVCAR-3 (+FR). The cell line growth inhibitory efficacy of material synthesized was evaluated by using SRB method. The results revealed that folate conjugated micelles showed higher activity in FR + OVCAR-3 cells but not in FR - A549 cells. Similar results were obtained for both small and large micelles without the conjugation of folate. Comparing large and small micelles it can be observed that larger micelles are more efficient, which has been attributed to the lower stability of the smaller micelles. Micelle stabilization via cross-linking could indeed increase the toxicity of the drug carrier.

Abstract
Enzymes are key molecules in signal-transduction pathways. However, only a small fraction of more than 500 human kinases, 300 human proteases and 200 human phosphatases is characterised so far. Peptide microarray based technologies for extremely efficient profiling of enzyme substrate specificity emerged in the last years. This technology reduces set-up time for HTS assays and allows the identification of downstream targets. Moreover, peptide microarrays enable optimisation of enzyme substrates. Focus of this review is on assay principles for measuring activities of kinases, phosphatases or proteases and on substrate identification/optimisation for kinases. Additionally, several examples for reliable identification of substrates for lysine methyl-transferases, histone deacetylases and SUMO-transferases are given. Finally, use of high-density peptide microarrays for the simultaneous profiling of kinase activities in complex biological samples like cell lysates or lysates of complete organisms is described. All published examples of peptide arrays used for enzyme profiling are summarised comprehensively.

Abstract
To overcome major challenges of non-specific protein adsorption on nanoparticles for nanosensing and nanodiagnosis, an efficient method for robust chemical modification was developed to achieve excellent specific biorecognition and long-term stability in complex biomedia. This method is demonstrated by a highly specific and sensitive immunoassay (IA), using superparamagnetic nanospheres (NSs) with high magnetite content. The non-specific protein adsorption on the NSs was suppressed dramatically when modified with dual functional poly(carboxybetaine methacrylate) (polyCBMA) via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) and chemically grafted with antibodies of the β subunit of human chorionic gonadotrop (anti-β-hCG). The response to hCG of IA NSs with polyCBMA coatings was highly consistent in either phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or 50% fetal bovine serum (FBS), which is far less variable than the response of the IA NSs without polyCBMA coatings. After all, a very robust platform for IA NSs with excellent specific biorecognition was obtained. It is expected that this method for nanoparticle modification could be widely used in ultrasensitive nanosensing and nanodiagnosis in the future.
