The article “Ultraviolet Photodissociation Reveals the Molecular Mechanism of Crown Ether Microsolvation Effect on the Gas-Phase Native-like Protein Structure” (DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c11210) was published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (impact factor: 16.383), a top international periodical in the field of chemistry. 

The publication is the latest research results of the collaboration between the team for bioanalytical techniques and materials led by Professor Feng Shun from the School of Life Science and Engineering of SWJTU as the first affiliation, and the team led by Professor Wang Fangjun and Academician Yang Xueming from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences as the second affiliation. The first authors are Zhou Lingqiang, a master candidate of Class 2023 of SWJTU, and Liu Zheyi, an associate researcher of Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the corresponding authors are Prof. Feng Shun and Prof. Wang Fangjun.

The research team for bioanalytical techniques and materials of the School of Life Science and Engineering has been engaging in cutting-edge basic theoretical research in the field of life and health and applied research that is oriented to major national needs, with focus on environment and food safety, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of major diseases. It is committed to developing new materials and methods for fluorescence, electrochemistry, chromatography, mass spectrometry, response/separation/enrichment technology, and studying their application into environmental detection, life cycle assessment, and drug/gene delivery. Having implemented more than 20 projects at national, provincial, and ministerial levels, it has published the research results in J Am. Chem. Soc.
