However, conventional drug design lacks the spatial control needed for their selective targeting. Subcellular photochemistry offers a solution. Light-activated catalysts with spatiotemporal control convert inert prodrugs into active drugs at the desired subcellular location, without affecting conserved proteins at native sites. In this Perspective, we discuss challenges of targeting mislocalized proteins, principles of subcellular photochemistry for site-specific intervention, strategies for anchoring photocatalysts and key examples of subcellular photocatalytic prodrug activation for precision targeting. We also examine limitations of this approach and propose future solutions. This strategy is expected to expand the druggable target repertoire and advance precision medicine. Conventional drug design lacks the spatial control needed for the selective targeting of mislocalized proteins, a pervasive phenomenon with diseases. This Perspective discusses how subcellular photochemistry combined with a prodrug approach can target those conserved proteins precisely.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

The pathological proteins are misfolded into soluble oligomers, which eventually evolve into insoluble amyloid plaques. Increasing evidence suggests that soluble oligomers are the primary cytotoxic species leading to amyloidoses. However, the transient, heterogeneous and low-abundance nature of soluble oligomers makes it extremely challenging to study these species using conventional methods. This Review surveys emerging chemical tools developed for in vitro detection, separation and analysis of soluble amyloid oligomers. We exemplify how the present arsenal can be extended to construct individual amyloid oligomers as potential drug targets. Finally, we summarize their technical limits and discuss possibilities of adapting these chemical tools to target specific soluble oligomers in the fight against amyloidoses.</p>","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

Because they are hydrophobic and volatile, they readily partition to the atmosphere, where they can undergo long-range transport owing to their low gas-phase reactivity. As such, VMSs and their oxidation products are potential tracers of anthropogenic influence, which has caused concerns about their bioaccumulation in remote ecosystems. Multigenerational atmospheric oxidation, primarily by hydroxyl and chlorine radicals to form siloxanol, formate ester and hydroperoxide compounds, has a central role in determining the environmental fate of VMSs. Thermodynamic partitioning of VMS and its oxidation products to aerosol particles (via adsorption and absorption) and environmental media further influences their atmospheric fate. Elucidating oxidation mechanisms and product distributions remains challenging owing to slow reaction kinetics, analytical challenges, absence of authentic standards and the complexity of multiphase chemistry. Advances in analytical methods, chamber studies, flow tube experiments, field campaigns and modelling efforts have underscored the need for an updated assessment of VMS atmospheric chemistry and environmental behaviour. In this Review, we synthesize current knowledge focusing on developments in gas-phase chemistry, multiphase partitioning behaviour, atmospheric measurements and modelling approaches for prominent VMS species and their oxidation products. Volatile methyl siloxanes are synthetic compounds that readily partition to the atmosphere and have been a focus of policy debates. This Review discusses advances in understanding the atmospheric chemistry, lifetimes and abundancies of these compounds and their oxidation products.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.
