G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are critically regulated by β-arrestins, which not only
desensitize G-protein signalling but also initiate a G-protein-independent wave of signalling 1 …

A wide array of microorganisms survive and thrive in extreme environments. However, we
know little about the patterns of, and controls over, their large-scale ecological distribution. To …

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are interesting clusters that attracted great attention due to their
remarkable structures and intriguing applications. The incorporation of POMs into crystalline …

The microbial communities in acid mine drainage have been extensively studied to reveal
their roles in acid generation and adaption to this environment. Lacking, however, are …

High-throughput sequencing is expanding our knowledge of microbial diversity in the
environment. Still, understanding the metabolic potentials and ecological roles of rare and …

Recent molecular surveys have advanced our understanding of the forces shaping the large-scale
ecological distribution of microbes in Earth's extreme habitats, such as hot springs …

A series of Cp*Rh-based functional metallarectangles have been synthesized from
metallaligands. Enlargement of one linker leads to the isolation of two novel Borromean link …

As an emerging porous crystalline organic material, the covalent organic frameworks (COFs)
are given more and more attention in many fields, such as gas storage and separation, …

Evolutionary analysis of microbes at the community level represents a new research avenue
linking ecological patterns to evolutionary processes, but remains insufficiently studied. …

In contrast to conventional stepwise synthesis of molecular Borromean rings, a self‐assembly
synthetic method which proceeds without the aid of a template has been developed. In the …
