Enjoy to read our work in research of the first catenane in Dave Leigh's lab. Many thanks to all our collaborators Albano Galan, @JustinTJSpence and Dan, and of course our team legend Andrei Baluna!

Out in Nature Chemistry with Guillaume De Bo grp. Overhand knot substantially increases scission of polymer under tension (≥2.6× faster); deformation by knot tightening activates otherwise unreactive bonds. Congrats Min Zhang Fredrik Schaufelberger Lucian &Rob! shorturl.at/dv037

Our latest work just out in Nature Chemistry. Knot tightening activates otherwise unreactive covalent bond under tension. It's a great teamwork in Dave Leigh group and collaboration with Guillaume De Bo group. Thanks Fredrik Schaufelberger Lucian and Rob. nature.com/articles/s4155…

🥨Overhand knot is one of the most reactive mechanophores as force-induced deformation leads to accelerated bond scission in the contracting knot! Great collab with Min Zhang, Rob Fredrik Schaufelberger, Lucian and Dave Leigh now in Nature Chemistry. nature.com/articles/s4155…
