Mapping the L-tryptophan capped copper nanocluster mediated binding and targeted pH-responsive release of doxorubicin via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)
Targeted delivery and controlled release of anticancer drugs pose significant challenges in effective cancer therapy. In this study, we developed a tryptophan-capped copper nanocluster (Trp-Cu NC) as a nano-drug carrier for the selective and pH-responsive release of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox). The

Selective production of aldehydes: from traditional alternatives to alcohol photo-oxidation using g-C3N4-based materials
Once largely overlooked, selective photocatalysis has recently seen rapid development and now includes several new applications. One of the most sought-after applications is the photocatalytic oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes. There is significant interest in the selective production of
