  • p97, a universally conserved AAA+ ATPase, holds a central position in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, orchestrating myriad cellular activities with significant therapeutic implications. This protein primarily interacts with a diverse set of adaptor proteins through its N-terminal domain (NTD), which is structurally located at the periphery of the D1 hexamer ring. While there have been numerous structural elucidations of p97 complexed with adaptor proteins, the stoichiometry has remained elusive. In this work, we present the crystal structure of the p97-N/D1 hexamer bound to the FAF1-UBX domain at a resolution of 3.1 Å. Our findings reveal a 6:6 stoichiometry between the p97 hexamer and FAF1-UBX domain, deepening our understanding from preceding structural studies related to p97-NTD and UBX domain-containing proteins. These insights lay the groundwork for potential therapeutic interventions addressing cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

  • [ $CulnS_2$ ] thin films were synthesized by sulfurization of Cu/In Stacked elemental layer deposited onto glass Substrates by vacuum furnace annealing at temperature $200^{\circ}C$. And structural and electrical properties were measured in order to certify optimum conditions for growth of the ternary compound semiconductor $CuInS_2$ thin films with non-stoichiometry composition. $CuInS_2$ thin film was well made at the annealed $200^{\circ}C$ of SLG/Cu/In/S stacked elemental layer which was prepared by thermal evaporator, and chemical composition of the thin film was analyzed nearly as the proportion of 1 : 1 : 2. Physical properties of the thin film were investigated at various fabrication conditions substrate temperature, annealing and temperature, annealing time by XRD, FE-SEM and Hall measurement system. The compositional deviations from the ideal chemical formula for $200^{\circ}C$ material can be conveniently described by non-molecularity$({\Delta}x=[Cu/In]-1)$ and non-stoichiometry $({\Delta}y=[{2S/(Cu+3In)}-1])$. The variation of ${\Delta}x$ would lead to the formation of equal number of donor and accepters and the films would behave like a compensated material. The ${\Delta}y$ parameter is related to the electronic defects and would determine the type of the majority charge carriers. Films with ${\Delta}y>0$ would behave as p-type material while ${\Delta}y<0$ would show n-type conductivity. At the sane time, carrier concentration, hall mobility and resistivity of the thin films was $9.10568{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3},\;312.502cm^2/V{\cdot}s\;and\;2.36{\times}10^{-2}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, respectively.

  • While controlling the cation contents in perovskite rare-earth nickelate thin films, a metal-to-insulator phase transition is reported. Systematic control of cation stoichiometry has been achieved by manipulating the irradiation of excimer laser in pulsed laser deposition. Two rare-earth nickelate bilayer thin-film heterostructures with the controlled cation stoichiometry (i.e. stoichiometric and Ni-excessive) have been fabricated. It is found that the Ni-excessive nickelate film is structurally less dense than the stoichiometric film, albeit both of them are epitaxial and coherent with respect to the underlying substrate. More interestingly, as a temperature decreases, a metal-to-insulator transition is only observed in the Ni-excessive nickelate films, which can be associated with the enhanced disproportionation of the Ni charge valence. Based on our theoretical results, possible origins (e.g. anti-site defects) of the low-temperature insulating state are discussed with the need of future work for deeper understanding. Our work can be utilized to realize unusual physical phenomena (e.g. metal-to-insulator phase transitions) in complex oxide films by manipulating the chemical stoichiometry in pulsed laser deposition.

  • A new colorimetric sensors containing thiourea (1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-quinolin-6-ylthiourea; 1) and urea(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-quinolin-6-ylurea; 2) moieties for fluoride were designed and synthesized. These simple receptors were characterized their stoichiometry, and investigates the mechanism of their selectivity as anion receptors. The addition of tetrabutylammonium fluoride salts to the solution of receptors caused a dramatically and clearly observable color changes from colorless to yellow. To examine their application as anion receptors by UV-vis and $^1H$ NMR spectroscopy results revealed their higher selectivity for fluoride ion than other anions. The receptors and fluoride ion formed a 1:1 stoichiometry complex through strong hydrogen bonding interactions in the first step, followed by a process of deprotonation in presence of an excess of $F^-$ in DMSO solvent.

  • Electro-chemo-mechanical devices or artificial muscles based on conducting polymers (CP) are presented as bilayers, CP/adhesive polymer, or as triple layers, CP/adhesive polymer/CP. Those soft and wet materials, working in aqueous solutions of a salt, mimic the composition of most organs from animals. Under electrochemical control, so working as new electrical machines, they produce continuous, reverse and elegant bending movements, mimicking those produce by animal muscles. By means of the current a perfect controls of the movement rate is attained giving soft and continuous movements. Muscles able to sense the chemical and mechanical conditions of work or muscle having tactile sense, as will be presented here, are being developed. All of them are founded on the non-stoichiometric nature of the soft and wet materials.

  • A detailed spectroscopic study ($^1H$ NMR, COSY, ROESY) of complexation of venlafaxine hydrochloride (VEN) with $\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$--CD) was carried out in solution. The stoichiometry of the complex was determined to be 1 : 1 and penetration of aromatic ring into $\beta$-Cyclodextrin cavity was confirmed from primary rim side, with the help of ROESY spectral data. The structure of the venlafaxine hydrochloride-$\beta$-CD complex has been proposed. The association constant was determined to be 234 $M^{-1}$.

  • A chemosensor based on a rhodamine-hydroxamate platform containing a pyridine and a cyclen binding units has been developed for the detection of $Cd^{2+}$ in aqueous solutions. The probe responds selectively toward $Cd^{2+}$ over other biologically relevant metal ions. The fluorescent probe shows 1:1 binding stoichiometry and the detection limit for $Cd^{2+}$ in water proved to be as low as 25 nM.

  • The electrochemical behavior of oxide layers on aluminium was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Impedance spectra were taken at a compact and a porous oxide layer of Al. The anodic films on Al have a variable stoichiometry with gradual reduction of oxygen deficiency towards the oxide-electrolyte interface. Thus, the interpretation of impedance spectra for oxide layers is complicated, with the impedance of surface layers differing from those of ideal capacitors. This layer behavior with conductance gradients was caused by an inhomogeneous dielectric. The frequency response cannot be described by a single RC element. The oxide layers of Al are properly described by the Young model of dielectric constant with a vertical decay of conductivity.

  • Epitaxial films of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC, $\beta$-SiC) have been grown on Si(001) and Si(111) substrates by high vacuum chemical vapor deposition using the single precursor 1,3-disilabutane, $H_3SiCH_2SiH_2CH_3$, at temperatures 900~$100^{\circ}C$. The advantage of using the single precursor over the covnentional chemical vapor deposition is evident in that the source chemical is safe to handle, carbonization of the substrates is not necessary, accurate stoichiometry of the silicon carbide films is easily achieved, and the deposition temperature is much lowered. The films were characterized by XPS, XRD, SEM, RHEED, RBS, AES, and TED.

  • The method of passivation for protecting the $Hg_{1-x}Cd_{x}$Te surface is important device fabrication process. Because the surface components are highly reactive leading to its chemical and electrical instability. Especially. the material of detecting for infrared radiation, of which composition is x=0.2 or 0.3, is narrow bandgap semi- conductor. The narrow bandgap semi conductors are largely governed by the properties of the semiconductor surface. The narrow bandgap semi-conductors are largely governed by the properties of the semiconductor surface. The electro-chemical processing of $Hg_{1-x}Cd_{x}$Te allows rigorous control of the surface chemistry and provides an in-suit monitor of surface reaction. So electro-chemical reduction at specific potential can be selectively eliminated the undesirable species on the surface and mainpulated to reproducibly attain the desired stoichiometry. This method shows to assess the quality of chemically treated good $Hg_{1-x}Cd_{x}$Te surface.
