Extremely proud of our work from Jonathan Clayden group on the asymmetric α-arylation of amino acids published in @nature disq.us/t/36wfp4s

Modification of amino acids provides new starting point for development of medical treatments - latest research from Jonathan Clayden group published in @NatureNews nature.com/articles/s4158…

Just out! At last a way to introduce (almost) any aromatic ring to the central C atom of (nearly almost) any amino acid, making either mirror image product at will: Asymmetric α-arylation of amino acids disq.us/t/36wfp4s

A new way to modify amino acids, useful for synthesizing new medicine molecules. “This work allowed us to turn what was a scientific curiosity into (something) really practical" Jonathan Clayden, ERC grantee University of Bristol describes his discovery: bristol.ac.uk/chemistry/news… #EUfunded

Alkylation of amino acids has resulted in active pharmaceuticals and building blocks for unnatual peptides. Now a general route for the equivalent arylation is reported in Nature. go.nature.com/2E8yldu

From Jonathan Clayden ‘s group and we totally should have done tagging in the ‘official’ tweet. *shakes fist at Official Nature’s much bigger reach than mine*

With sadness, we are remembering our colleague Dr Stuart Warren who died yesterday. See our story about him here: ow.ly/qPsG50ySSI9

Some good news from the ERC arrived in my in-box last week :-) bristol.ac.uk/news/2020/marc…

Triarylmethanes and their Medium-Ring Analogues by Unactivated Truce-Smiles Rearrangement of Benzanilides Clayden Group #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Well done to Matthew Wootten for working out how to use a simple idea to create complex conformational behaviour in mixtures of chiral acids, bases, and a metal.

Marina Hyde's always good value but she's brilliantly on fire today. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Super excited that our work on the rational design of 310-helical bundles is now out in nature! Congrats Prasun Prasun Kumar for this impressive piece you have led in collaboration with Clayden Group and Diamond Light Source! You can read it here: nature.com/articles/s4158…
