Abstract
Colistin is an antibiotic of last resort used to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. The recent surge in reported cases of colistin-resistant infections urgently calls for fast and reliable diagnostic methods, which can be used for the facile detection and proper treatment of these challenging infections. A major mechanism of colistin resistance involves phosphoethanolamine (PE) modification of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the molecular target of colistin. This LPS modification mechanism has been recently reported to be transferrable via a plasmid-carried mcr-1 gene, which is particularly concerning as it may readily confer colistin resistance to a wide array of bacterial pathogens. To develop molecular tools to allow facile detection of colistin resistance, we have herein enlisted a novel phage library that incorporates dynamic covalent warheads to recognize PE modifications on bacterial cells. Screening of this chemically modified phage library against colistin-resistant pathogens revealed a number of peptide probes that readily differentiate colistin-resistant bacterial strains from their colistin-susceptible counterparts. With a fluorophore label, these peptide probes selectively stain colistin-resistant bacteria at sub-to-low micromolar concentrations. The bacterial staining is minimally inhibited by the presence of serum proteins or even blood serum. Mechanistic studies indicate that our peptide probes bind colistin-resistant bacteria primarily by targeting PE-modified lipids. However, some species-specific features of the cell surface can also contribute to the peptides' association to bacterial cells. Further elucidation of such cell surface features may give molecular probes with improved species and strain specificity, which will enable bacterial infection diagnosis with high precision.

Abstract
Biocompatible and bioorthogonal conjugation reactions have proven to be powerful tools in biological research and medicine. While the advent of bioorthogonal conjugation chemistries greatly expands our capacity to interrogate specific biomolecules in situ, biocompatible reactions that target endogenous reactive groups have given rise to a number of covalent drugs as well as a battery of powerful research tools. Despite the impressive progress, limitations do exist with the current conjugation chemistries. For example, most known bioorthogonal conjugations suffer from slow reaction rates and imperfect bioorthogonality. On the other hand, covalent drugs often display high toxicity due to off-target labeling and immunogenicity. These limitations demand continued pursuit of conjugation chemistries with optimal characteristics for biological applications. A spate of papers appearing in recent literature report the conjugation chemistries of 2-formyl and 2-acetyl phenylboronic acids (abbreviated as 2-FPBA and 2-APBA, respectively). These simple reactants are found to undergo fast conjugation with various nucleophiles under physiological conditions, showing great promise for biological applications. The versatile reactivity of 2-FPBA and 2-APBA manifests in dynamic conjugation with endogenous nucleophiles as well as conjugation with designer nucleophiles in a bioorthogonal manner. 2-FPBA/APBA conjugates with amines in biomolecules, such as lysine side chains and aminophospholipids, in a highly dynamic manner to give iminoboronates. In contrast to typical imines, iminoboronates enjoy much improved thermodynamic stability, yet are kinetically labile for hydrolysis due to imine activation by the boronic acid. Dynamic conjugations as such present a novel binding mechanism analogous to hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Implementation of this covalent binding mechanism has yielded reversible covalent probes of prevalent bacterial pathogens. It has also resulted in reversible covalent inhibitors of a therapeutically important protein Mcl-1. Such covalent probes/inhibitors with 2-FPBA/APBA warheads avoid permanent modification of their biological target, potentially able to mitigate off-target labeling and immunogenicity of covalent drugs. The dynamic conjugation of 2-FPBA/APBA has been recently extended to N-terminal cysteines, which can be selectively targeted via formation of a thiazolidino boronate (TzB) complex. The dynamic TzB formation expands the toolbox for site-specific protein labeling and the development of covalent drugs. On the front of bioorthogonal conjugation, 2-FPBA/APBA has been found to conjugate with α-nucleophiles under physiologic conditions with rate constant ( k2) over 1000 M-1 s-1, which overcomes the slow kinetics problems and rekindles the interest of using the conjugation of α-nucleophiles for biological studies. With fast kinetics being a shared feature, this family of conjugation chemistries gives remarkably diverse product structures depending on the choice of nucleophile. Importantly, both dynamic and irreversible conjugations have been developed, which we believe will enable a wide array of applications in biological research. In this Account, we collectively examine this rapidly expanding family of conjugation reactions, seeking to elucidate the unifying principles that would guide further development of novel conjugation reactions, as well as their applications in biology.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance of bacterial pathogens poses an increasing threat to the wellbeing of our society and urgently calls for new strategies for infection diagnosis and antibiotic discovery. The antibiotic resistance problem at least partially arises from extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Ideally, for the treatment of infection, one would like to use a narrow-spectrum antibiotic that specifically targets and kills the disease-causing strain. This is particularly important considering the commensal bacterial species that are beneficial and sometimes even critical to the health of a human being. In this contribution, we describe a phage display platform that enables rapid identification of peptide probes for specific bacterial strains. The phage library described herein incorporates 2-acetylphenylboronic acid moieties to elicit dynamic covalent binding to the bacterial cell surface. Screening of the library against live bacterial cells yields submicromolar and highly specific binders for clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii that display antibiotic resistance. We further show that the identified peptide probes can be readily converted to bactericidal agents that deliver generic toxins to kill the targeted bacterial strain with high specificity. The phage display platform described here is applicable to a wide array of bacterial strains, paving the way to facile diagnosis and development of strain-specific antibiotics.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal fluorogenic reactions serve as enabling tools in research and biotechnology. Herein we describe fluorogenic conjugations of semicarbazide with coumarin derivatives that incorporate a 2-acetylphenylboronic acid motif. These designed coumarins rapidly conjugate with semicarbazide to give diazaborine products with significantly enhanced fluorescence. To demonstrate potential applications of this fluorogenic reaction, we synthesized a semicarbazide-presenting amino acid d-Dap-Scz, which readily incorporates into the cell wall of Staphalococcus aureus and serves as a handle for conjugation with the coumarins. The fluorogenic conjugation of the coumarins to cell surface semicarbazide enables facile visualization of d-Dap-Scz treated bacteria.

Abstract
Oral anticoagulant treatments, such as vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), are the main treatments administered to atrial fibrillation (AF) patients in order to prevent ischemic stroke (IS). However, the genes involved in the VKA metabolism can undergo variations in a single nucleotide (SNP). These SNPs may then affect the VKA target enzyme (VKORC1), VKA degradation enzyme (CYP2C9), and vitamin K bioavailability enzyme (CYP4F2). We genotyped these SNPs in a cohort of patients with non-valvular AF who were under VKA treatment after suffering an IS. Clinical variables, CHADS2-VASC score and data about the international normalized ratio (INR) within the therapeutic range were all recorded. DNA was extracted from blood and genotyping was carried out by DNA sequencing. The main endpoint was the time from VKA onset to IS. Of a total of 356 consecutive IS patients monitored, 33 were included in the study. The median time to the event was 2248.0 days (interquartile range [IQR] 896.3-3545.3). The median CHADS2-VASC score was 4.0 (IQR 3.0-6.0). When we considered the risk of IS within 2 years under VKA treatment, we found that only the rs2108622 AA genotype was significantly associated with this endpoint (early IS) (hazard ratio 6.81, 95% CI 1.37-33.92, p = 0.019). Kaplan-Meier curve analysis also showed a significant relationship between early IS and rs2108622 AA genotype (Log rank p = 0.022). The CYP4F2 gene rs2108622 polymorphism was associated with a risk of early IS in NV-AF patients under VKA treatment.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal conjugation chemistry has enabled the development of tools for the interrogation of complex biological systems. Although a number of bioorthogonal reactions have been documented in literature, they are less ideal for one or several reasons including slow kinetics, low stability of the conjugated product, requirement of toxic catalysts, and side reactions with unintended biomolecules. Herein we report a fast (>103 M-1 s-1) and bioorthogonal conjugation reaction that joins semicarbazide to an aryl ketone or aldehyde with an ortho-boronic acid substituent. The boronic acid moiety greatly accelerates the initial formation of a semicarbazone conjugate, which rearranges into a stable diazaborine. The diazaborine formation can be performed in blood serum or cell lysates with minimal interference from biomolecules. We further demonstrate that application of this conjugation chemistry enables facile labeling of bacteria. A synthetic amino acid D-AB3, which presents a 2-acetylphenylboronic acid moiety as its side chain, was found to incorporate into several bacterial species through cell wall remodeling, with particularly high efficiency for Escherichia coli. Subsequent D-AB3 conjugation to a fluorophore-labeled semicarbazide allows robust detection of this bacterial pathogen in blood serum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most approaches to transient ischaemic attack (TIA) triage use clinical scores and vascular imaging; however, some biomarkers have been suggested to improve the prognosis of TIA patients. METHODS Serum levels of copeptin, adiponectin, neopterin, neuron-specific enolase, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, IL-6, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, S100β, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and IL-1α as well as clinical characteristics were assessed on consecutive TIA patients during the first 24 h of the onset of symptoms. RESULTS Among 237 consecutive TIA patients, 12 patients (5%) had a stroke within 7 days and 15 (6%) within 90 days. Among all candidate biomarkers analysed, only copeptin was significantly increased in patients with stroke recurrence (SR) within 7 days (P = 0.026) but not within 90 days. A cut-off point of 13.8 pmol/l was established with a great predictive negative value (97.4%). Large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) [hazard ratio (HR) 12.7, 95% CI 3.2-50.1, P < 0.001] and copeptin levels ≥13.8 pmol/l (HR 3.9, 95% CI 1.01-14.4, P = 0.039) were independent predictors of SR at the 7-day follow-up. LAA was the only predictor of 90-day SR (HR 7.4, 95% CI 2.5-21.6, P < 0.001). ABCD3I was associated with 7- and 90-day SRs (P = 0.025 and P = 0.034, respectively). The association between copeptin levels and LAA had a diagnostic accuracy of 90.3%. CONCLUSIONS Serum copeptin could be an important prognostic biomarker to guide management decisions among TIA patients. Therefore, TIA patients with copeptin levels below 13.8 pmol/l and without LAA have an insignificant risk of 7-day SR and could be managed on an outpatient basis.

Abstract
Facile labeling of proteins of interest is highly desirable in proteomic research as well as in the development of protein therapeutics.
Facile labeling of proteins of interest is highly desirable in proteomic research as well as in the development of protein therapeutics. Herein we report a novel method that allows for fast and selective labeling of proteins with an N-terminal cysteine. Although N-terminal cysteines are well known to conjugate with aldehydes to give thiazolidines, the reaction requires acidic conditions and suffers from slow kinetics. We show that benzaldehyde with an ortho-boronic acid substituent readily reacts with N-terminal cysteines at neutral pH, giving rate constants on the order of 103 M–1 s–1. The product features a thiazolidino boronate (TzB) structure and exhibits improved stability due to formation of the B–N dative bond. While stable at neutral pH, the TzB complex dissociates upon mild acidification. These characteristics make the TzB conjugation chemistry potentially useful for the development of drug–protein conjugates that release the small molecule drug in acidic endosomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The etiological classification of patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is a difficult endeavor and the use of serum biomarkers could improve the diagnostic accuracy. The aim of this study was to correlate atrial fibrillation, the main cardioembolic etiology (CE), with different serum biomarkers measured in consecutive TIA patients. METHODS The concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha, neuron-specific enolase, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, IL-1-α and the N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were quantified in the serum of 140 patients with TIA and 44 non-stroke subjects. Measurements were performed at different times throughout evolution: within 24 h of symptoms onset and at days 7 and 90. RESULTS With the exception of IL-6, all biomarkers were higher in TIA patients than in controls. NT-proBNP was significantly related to the presence or new diagnosis of AF at all time points analyzed. Furthermore, the baseline NT-proBNP level was significantly higher than values at the 7-day and 90-day follow-up. For this reason, different cut-off values were obtained at different times: 313 pg/ml at baseline [odds ratio (OR) = 18.99, P < 0.001], 181 pg/ml at 7 days (OR = 11.4, P = 0.001) and 174 pg/ml (OR = 8.46, P < 0.001) at 90 days. CONCLUSION High levels of NT-proBNP determined during the first 3 months after a TIA were associated with AF. Consequently, this biomarker may be useful to reclassify undetermined TIA patients as having disease of CE.

Abstract
GIH secretin bolus (2 CU/kg) and infusion (3 CU/kg/h) have been randomly compared in 9 ZES patients and 10 age-matched DU patients. Serum gastrin and gastric acid variations were studied before and after either mode of secretin administration in the same individuals. Plasma secretin modifications were monitored in parallel. In both ZES and DU, secretin bolus and infusion induced similar gastrin responses (maximal changes and integrated responses). However, secretin infusion had a greater effect on acid output than bolus: larger inhibition in DU and larger increase in ZES. The additive diagnostic value of gastric acid secretion study during a secretin provocation test, as already reported, favors the use of 3 CU/kg/h secretin infusion over that of 2 CU/kg secretin bolus.
