Synthesis of nitroxyl radical by direct nucleophilic functionalization of a C-H bond in the azadiene systems [PDF]
, 2012 Cyclic dinitrones underwent nucleophilic substitution of the hydrogen atom in the reaction with a paramagnetic carbanion, the lithium derivative of 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-oxyl 3-oxide, to give polyfunctional nitronyl nitroxyls ...

C–H bond functionalizations with palladium(II): intramolecular oxidative annulations of arenes [PDF]
, 2008 Oxidative annulations for the synthesis of carbocycles were developed using a catalytic palladium(II) system. Indoles with pendant olefin tethers were oxidatively cyclized to form annulated products. Electron-rich aromatic systems were also investigated,

Pathogenic Germline PALB2 and RAD50 Variants in Patients With Relapsed Ewing Sarcoma
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Approximately 10% of patients with Ewing sarcoma (EwS) have pathogenic germline variants. Here, we report two cases: first, a novel germline pathogenic variant in partner and localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) in a patient with a late EwS relapse. Its impact on homologous recombination is demonstrated, and breast cancer risk is discussed.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Intermolecular Radical C–H Bond Activation: A Powerful Tool for Late Stage Functionalization
CHIMIA, 2020 The synthesis of complex molecules via radical reactions involving carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds has become a very successful approach. Radical chemistry has long been dominated by the use of tin-based reagents.

Intramolecular Arene C−H to C−P Functionalization Mediated by Nickel(II) and Palladium(II) [PDF]
, 2013 A tris(phosphine) ligand with a triarylbenzene backbone was employed to support mono-nickel(II) and -palladium(II) complexes. Two phosphine arms coordinated to the metal center, while the third phosphine was found to form a C–P bond with dearomatization ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Selectivity Control in the Palladium-catalyzed Cross-coupling of Alkyl Nucleophiles [PDF]
, 2016 Site-selectivity remains a major challenge in metal-catalyzed C–H bond functionalization. Most existing strategies rely on the introduction of a directing group or on the intrinsic reactivity of the substrate.
