    Abstract Traditional drug discovery focuses on identifying direct inhibitors of target proteins. This typically relies on a measurable biochemical readout and accessible binding sites whose occupancy influences the function of the target protein. These requirements preclude many disease-causing proteins from being 'druggable' targets, and these proteins are categorized as 'undruggable'. The proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology provides powerful tools to degrade these undruggable targets and has become a promising approach for drug discovery. However, the PROTAC technology has some limitations, and emerging new degrader technologies may greatly broaden the spectrum of targets that could be selectively degraded by harnessing a second major degradation pathway in cells. We review key emerging technologies that exploit the lysosomal degradation pathway and discuss their potential applications and limitations.

    Abstract Abstract The traditional drug discovery focuses on identifying direct inhibitors of target proteins. This approach typically relies on a specific measurable biochemical readout and amenable binding sites of which the occupancy directly influences the target protein’s function. These requirements preclude many disease-causing proteins from being “druggable” targets, and these proteins are categorized as “undruggable”. The proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology provides powerful tools to degrade these “undruggable” targets and has become a promising approach for drug discovery. However, the PROTAC technology may have limitations and emerging new degrader technologies may greatly broaden the spectrum of targets that could be selectively degraded by harnessing another major degradation pathway in cells. Here we review a few key emerging technologies that exploit the lysosomal degradation pathway and discuss their potential applications as well as limitations.

    Abstract Therapeutic antibodies have become indispensable for treating a wide range of diseases, and their significance in drug discovery has expanded considerably over the past few decades. Bifunctional antibodies are now emerging as a promising new drug modality to address previously unmet needs in antibody therapeutics. Distinct from traditional antibodies that operate through an 'occupancy-based' inhibition mechanism, these innovative molecules recruit the protein of interest to a 'biological effector,' initiating specific downstream consequences such as targeted protein degradation or posttranslational modifications. In this review, we emphasize the potential of bifunctional antibodies to tackle diverse biomedical challenges.

    Abstract Targeted protein degradation (TPD) provides unprecedented opportunities for drug discovery. While the proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology has already entered clinical trials and changed the landscape of small-molecule drugs, new degrader technologies harnessing alternative degradation machineries, especially lysosomal pathways, have emerged and broadened the spectrum of degradable targets. We have recently proposed the concept of autophagy-tethering compounds (ATTECs) that hijack the autophagy protein microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B light chain 3 (LC3) for targeted degradation. Other groups also reported degrader technologies engaging lysosomal pathways through different mechanisms including AUTACs, AUTOTACs, LYTACs and MoDE-As. In this review, we analyse and discuss ATTECs along with other lysosomal-relevant degrader technologies. Finally, we will briefly summarize the current status of these degrader technologies and envision possible future studies.

    Abstract Redox flow batteries are a critical technology for large-scale energy storage, offering the promising characteristics of high scalability, design flexibility and decoupled energy and power. In recent years, they have attracted extensive research interest, with significant advances in relevant materials chemistry, performance metrics and characterization. The emerging concepts of hybrid battery design, redox-targeting strategy, photoelectrode integration and organic redox-active materials present new chemistries for cost-effective and sustainable energy storage systems. This Review summarizes the recent development of next-generation redox flow batteries, providing a critical overview of the emerging redox chemistries of active materials from inorganics to organics. We discuss electrochemical characterizations and critical performance assessment considering the intrinsic properties of the active materials and the mechanisms that lead to degradation of energy storage capacity. In particular, we highlight the importance of advanced spectroscopic analysis and computational studies in enabling understanding of relevant mechanisms. We also outline the technical requirements for rational design of innovative materials and electrolytes to stimulate more exciting research and present the prospect of this field from aspects of both fundamental science and practical applications.

    Abstract Intending to close the loop of product life cycles and substitute for the linear economy, a new concept of circular economy (CE) has emerged. Although relatively novel, the concept of CE has gained significant momentum worldwide. CE can potentially help to solve the problem of resource depletion and environmental degradation. However, measuring circularity remains a question and a challenge for various stakeholders. This work aimed to propose an assessment tool to measure the circularity of construction projects. Through a systematic literature review, existing circularity measurement methods, tools, and actions associated with circularity in the construction industry were reviewed. A list of critical circularity actions was identified. Kazakhstan was selected as an emerging economy country to validate the tool. A survey was conducted among professionals in the construction industry to determine the importance of every action and the legislative readiness of local laws to support those actions. The proposed tool (CAT2022) was tailored to measure the circularity degree of construction projects in the selected emerging economy country. As part of the proposed circularity measurement tool, the study also provided several assessments to demonstrate the criteria in the evaluation and their fulfillment of the actions concerning circularity. The results show that projects perform notably differently in terms of circularity depending on methods of construction, technologies implemented, company business model, energy and material efficiency practices. In line with the common assumption that projects certified by green building rating systems are more “circular” than others, our findings indicated that LEED-certified buildings and buildings implementing modular construction methods tend to receive high circularity scores.

    Abstract Flow chemistry technology innovatively integrates the traditional independent experimental operation processes, speeds up reaction rates and, especially, can be applied in special reactions that are hazardous or under difficult reaction conditions, being beneficial for the development of green chemistry and laboratory automation. In flow chemistry, the application of traditional pipeline microreactors is usually limited by blockage, corrosion and difficult maintenance. The micro/nanomaterials-based microreactors for flow chemistry are supposed to solve these problems. Herein, we report a novel solid–liquid composite microreactor (BiOBr@ILG-microspheres) with ionic liquid compartments based on ionic liquid gel microspheres (ILG-microspheres) and a typical photocatalyst, BiOBr. The BiOBr@ILG-microspheres show high photodegradation performance, which is attributed to the enrichment of organic substrates by the ILG-microspheres, the efficient charge transfer microenvironment of the internal ionic liquids (ILs), and the flower-like heterostructure of the microspheres that hosts abundant active sites. Furthermore, the BiOBr@ILG-microspheres are embedded in a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel to build a multi-liquid phase membrane, which exhibits promising performance in removing pollutants continuously from flowing water with an ∼100% removal rate of ciprofloxacin for a long time, due to the synergic effect of the enrichment and catalytic degradation of the pollutants by the BiOBr@ILG-microspheres. This work provides a new research strategy for constructing liquid compartment microreactors with a synergistic effect of extraction–catalysis using the novel developed ILG-microspheres, which will attract widespread interest because it is in accordance with the concept of green chemistry.

    Abstract Soil degradation, overuse of chemical fertilizer, and biodiversity loss are serious problems challenging the sustainable development of modern agriculture. In recent years, owing to the advantages of algae biotechnology in nutrients recovery and soil improvement, the integration of algae‐based wastewater remediation and algal bio‐fertilizer production is emerging into the limelight. In this work, we emphasize on the progresses achieved in the fields of biomass production by algae cultivation in wastewater and application of algal bio‐fertilizers. Particularly, three types of algal bio‐fertilizers, including slow‐release bio‐fertilizer, nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria, and liquid bio‐fertilizer, widely evaluated and utilized in agriculture are introduced. To prevent the overly optimistic prediction of algal bio‐fertilizer in a real‐world application, we point out the challenges and technical defects, such as presence of new pollution factors in wastewater, high cost of algal biomass, contamination of algal biomass in wastewater, low productivity of algae and valuable components, high water consumption, and potential threats of cyanobacteria to the environment, that prevent the concept of integrating algae‐based wastewater remediation and algal bio‐fertilizer production from becoming a reality. Based on our knowledge and experience, potential solutions to the aforementioned problems are discussed in depth. It is expected that the emerging technologies of algae‐based wastewater remediation for bio‐fertilizer production will bring human beings into a new era of environmentally‐friendly, high‐yield, and resource‐recycling agriculture. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI)
