Azobenzene molecular switches are repurposed for photoacoustic imaging: picosecond electronic relaxation drives thousand-fold photostabilisation. Now out from Vasilis Ntziachristos and Thorn-Seshold Lab 🇺🇦 #openaccess #AngewandteVIP onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Paper out! My project on new photocages with @rhodamine110 is published in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. The new photocage (“ABC cage”) is useful for preparing caged drugs that contain tertiary amine or pyridine moieties.Shu-Hsien Sheu HHMI | Janelia pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

In our new paper in ChemistryEurope - the upcoming GOA flagship journal of the European Chemical Societies - we explore cyclic selenenylsulfides with remote exchange controllers to enable and inhibit cellular uptake …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ce… Thorn-Seshold Lab 🇺🇦 ChemistryEur

Unique Patterns of Thiol-Mediated Cellular Uptake: Two existing exchange networks and a new repressor pathway discovered, improving the understanding of cellular delivery systems and offering new strategies for drug delivery chemistryviews.org/unique-pattern…

Paper of the week: a no-BS rundown of why most TrxR covalent inhibitors are poor quality, then a light towards high quality chemical probes for oxidorectases (doorstop pocket). Great ACS Publications Bio & Med Chem Content J Med Chem by Angelucci, Williams & Pavel Petukhov Enjoy - doi.org/10.1021/acs.jm…

Every person who you mentor is a unique individual, and none of them are you. Mentoring isn’t about sharing what you would do, but exploring what’s best for them to do.

Want to photo-stabilise microtubules? just write and we can send you CouEpo. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2… Some tool creation papers make new concepts. Others fill in the practical gaps for things that need to exist but don‘t yet. Carina‘s Angewandte Chemie is one of those. Congrats!

The details in this paper of the week! Phosphonorhodamines and lots of astute discussion from Evan Miller at UCB. Enjoy! Hard to justify any more why we aren‘t using them as a default fluorophore… be warned… pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… #fluorescence_friday
