European Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conference is closed 🧪🇩🇪🧬💕. It has been one of the most vibrant and enthusiastic conference I’ve participated. Dozens of interesting interactions and exciting synergism just started. Great expectations!! EuroBIC-17 #EuroBIC17
β-lapachone, we all know it, we all love it! Congratulations Elyse Hudson and Ivonne Rebeca Lopez-Miranda for their publication in ChemPhotoChem in collaboration with the Milstein Lab U of T Mississauga …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cp…
TWeeP (This Week's Paper): Highly selective ligations of large protein complexes? No problem! In J. Am. Chem. Soc., Wallace, Jo, and DeGrado show SuFEx chemistry for site-selective ligation of pore-forming proteins stabilizing a huge, 280-kDa 18-subunit complex. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…
A tartrazine solution makes a mouse's skin transparent. You'll have to read the paper in Science Magazine to see the see-through skin (I thought it was a too gory), but my latest in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) explains how it works and why it's important. cen.acs.org/analytical-che…
Positioning for reactivity (image Jose Vazquez) : A small molecule catalyst takes a nucleophile & electrophile, pulls them together and lines them up to form C—O bonds, check it out in Science Magazine: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
TWeeP (This Week's Paper): Peptide bods have a half-life of ∼500 years in neutral water. Yet, collagen has been identified in 195 M-y-old fossils. In ACS Central Science, the Raines lab shows that n→π* interactions cause this remarkable stability of collagen. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
Proud #newPI moment to share the first J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper from my independent group UoN Chemistry on structural transformations of Pd metal-organic cages with work done by group members Martin Black and Soumalya Bhattacharyya and help from Stephen Argent pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Meet the awesome MCWhite team UIUC-OCB Chemistry at Illinois led by graduate student Sven Kaster (Sven Kaster) w/ Lei Zhu, William Lyon, Rulin Ma, Stephen Ammann. They discovered a catalyst to position olefins & alcohols to form ethers Science Magazine : science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
And some fantastic news to end the week. At long last our work on BCBs is out in ACS Catalysis (link below). What started as an idea on an envelope over 4 years ago and then a "quick project to start your PhD" for Maxim ended up filling almost all of it.
Congrats!! 🦸♀️🦸♀️🦸♀️ #womeninSTEM 3 ERC Starting Grants at Philipps-Universität two for Microcosm Earth Center in Chemie Uni Marburg 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 uni-marburg.de/de/aktuelles/n…
