It's been a long time coming but the first work of my PhD is now finally out as a preprint on ChemRxiv! Big thanks to everyone involved and especially to Xiongyi Huang-JHU Biocatalysis for the continuous support that made this possible!

I am thrilled to share our recent Nature Catalysis cover-featured paper on engineering nonheme iron enzymes for metallophotoredox catalysis, enabling decarboxylative C-N₃ and C-SCN bond formation nature.com/articles/s4192…. This work was pioneered and led by graduate student Jinyan

Excited to share the next work of my PhD now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! We discovered that substituting the native iron center of nonheme iron enzymes with copper enables them to catalyze alkene oxytrifluoromethylation to form β-, γ-, and δ-lactones. Check it out!
