Abstract
Nucleic acid plays a crucial role in countless biological processes. Hence, there is great interest in its detection and analysis in various fields from chemistry, biology, to medicine. Nanoporous crystalline materials exhibit enormous potential as an effective platform for nucleic acid recognition and application. These materials have highly ordered and uniform pore structures, as well as adjustable surface chemistry and pore size, making them good carriers for nucleic acid extraction, detection, and delivery. In this review, the latest developments in nanoporous crystalline materials, including metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) for nucleic acid recognition and applications are discussed. Different strategies for functionalizing these materials are explored to specifically identify nucleic acid targets. Their applications in selective separation and detection of nucleic acids are highlighted. They can also be used as DNA/RNA sensors, gene delivery agents, host DNAzymes, and in DNA-based computing. Other applications include catalysis, data storage, and biomimetics. The development of novel nanoporous crystalline materials with enhanced biocompatibility has opened up new avenues in the fields of nucleic acid analysis and therapy, paving the way for the development of sensitive, selective, and cost-effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools with widespread applications.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Pseudomonas fluorescens is a specific spoilage microorganism of refrigerated marine fish, and is highly adapted to low temperature. Cold shock proteins (CSPs) play an important role in cold adaptation of bacteria. In this study, CSP genes were identified from the genome of P. fluorescens PF08 by search of the conserved domain of CSPs with HMMER software, and the CSP physicochemical properties, structures, and functions were analyzed through bioinformatics. Five typical CSPs were identified in the P. fluorescens PF08 genome (PfCSPs). All five PfCSPs are small hydrophilic acidic proteins with a molecular mass of ca. 7.4 kDa. They are located in the cytoplasm and are nonsecretory and nontransmembrane proteins. Multiple sequence alignment analysis indicated that the CSPs are highly conserved between species, especially in DNA-binding sites and RNA-binding motifs that can bind to single-stranded DNA and RNA. The five PfCSPs clustered with CspD from Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium, which suggests a close homology and high functional similarity among the five PfCSPs and CspD. The secondary and tertiary structures of the PfCSPs are in accordance with the characteristics of the CSP family, and ligand binding sites with higher likelihood were found in PfCSPs. The five PfCSPs were predicted to interact with some of the same proteins that are involved in virulence, stress responses (including to low temperature), cell growth, ribosome assembly, and RNA degradation. The results provide further elucidation of the function of CSPs in adaptation to low temperatures by P. fluorescens. HIGHLIGHTS
