Mechanical Caging of Nucleic Acids Enabled by Light‐Activated Synthetic Molecular Motors

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A synthetic light‐driven molecular motor imposes mechanical constraints on nucleic acids, enabling “mechanical caging” as a new mode to regulate DNA structure and function through mechanical input rather than chemical masking. ABSTRACT Control over nucleic acid activity is central to biotechnology and therapeutic development.

Chemical Bond‐Orchestrated Energy Depletion to Augment Lung Cancer Chemo‐Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study grafted dichloroacetic acid (DCA) into perylenediimide (PDI) skeleton via ionic or covalent bond to create novel metabolic agent PDIC‐AC and PDIC‐NAC, explicitly elaborated the underlying energy metabolism and therapeutic mechanism, and developed a promising strategy for energy metabolism‐targeting chemo‐immunotherapy by chemical bond ...

Polyproline: A Synthetic Polypeptide With Unique Properties

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Poly‐L‐proline is a unique polypeptide distinguished by its well‐defined secondary structures and unusual thermal behavior. This mini review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of poly‐L‐proline by N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization, the formation of structurally defined architectures and nanostructures, and emerging strategies that ...

1,3‐Brook Rearrangement of α‐Silyl Allylic Alcohols: Copper‐Catalyzed Enantiospecific Formation of Allenes and Copper‐Mediated ipso‐Substitution Reactions Affording Trisubstituted Alkenes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A regioselective ruthenium catalyzed trans‐hydrosilylation of propargyl alcohols followed by a 1,3‐Brook rearrangement opens access to reactive organocopper intermediates, which evolve upon warming into allenes with strict chirality transfer to the emerging axis; alternatively, these reactive species can be trapped with a large variety of electrophiles

N-acylation of ethanolamine using lipase: a chemoselective catalyst

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2009
The N-acylation of ethanolamine (2) with various fatty acids 1a–d and esters of fatty acids 1e–h using Candida antarctica B lipase (Novozym® 435) are described and optimum conditions for selective N-acylation rather than O-acylation are also discussed ...

Metabolic Memory in Cardiovascular Disease: Encoding, Propagation, and Therapeutic Targeting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular risk often persists after metabolic abnormalities are corrected. This conceptual Review frames such persistence as metabolic memory, encoded through a narrowing therapeutic window from reversible marks to irreversible damage, with continuous input from peripheral organs.

Atypical Condensation Domains Guide Discovery and Illuminate Biosynthesis of Myxoglucamides Featuring Vinyl‐Substituted, α‐Oxidized γ‐Amino Acids

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Genome mining of atypical condensation (C) domains leads to the discovery of myxoglucamides, glycolipopeptides featuring an unprecedented vinyl‐substituted, α‐oxidized γ‐amino acid. Biosynthetic studies reveal a discrete C‐domain‐like O‐acyltransferase, a β‐hydroxylation‐dependent chain‐extension checkpoint, and an unusual pathway for γ‐amino acid ...

Examining the Underappreciated Role of S-Acylated Proteins as Critical Regulators of Phagocytosis and Phagosome Maturation in Macrophages

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Phagocytosis is a receptor-mediated process used by cells to engulf a wide variety of particulates, including microorganisms and apoptotic cells. Many of the proteins involved in this highly orchestrated process are post-translationally modified with ...

Determination of different acid sites in Beta zeolite for anisole acylation with acetic anhydride

, 2013
Catalytic roles of the acid sites in Beta zeolite for the acylation of anisole (AN) with acetic anhydride were investigated. There existed obvious difference between the Beta zeolite acidity modified with inorganic alkali cation (K+) and that modified ...
