AbstractDinoflagellates and cyanobacteria in harmful 'red tide' algal blooms produce saxitoxin (STX) and ~50 congeners that block voltage gated sodium channel (NaV) function and disrupt bioelectrical signals1-4. Consuming seafood carrying these lethal toxins causes paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), a growing public health hazard due to climate change5-7 that motivates efforts to detect these toxins and counteract their noxious effects.

Dual Single-Atom Sites Coupled with Graphene-Encapsulated Core-Shell Fe-Cu Nanoalloy for Boosting Oxygen Reduction Reaction Replacing platinum-based electrocatalysts with iron single-atom catalysts (Fe-N4-C) for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains challenging due to the symmetric electronic structure of atomically dispersed Fe-N4 sites and sluggish kinetics.

A key challenge in metabolomics is annotating measured spectra from a biological sample with chemical identities. Currently, only a small fraction of measurements can be assigned identities. Two complementary computational approaches have emerged to address the annotation problem: Mapping candidate molecules to spectra, and mapping query spectra to molecular candidates. In essence, the candidate molecule with the spectrum that best explains the query spectrum is recommended as the target molecule.
