A new route towards uniformly functionalized single-layer graphene [PDF]
It is shown, by DFT calculations, that the uniform functionalization of upper layer of graphite by hydrogen or fluorine does not change essentially its bonding energy with the underlying layers, whereas the functionalization by phenyl groups decreases ...

Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Iridium-Catalyzed Silylation of Unactivated C-H Bonds. [PDF]
The functionalization of primary C-H bonds has been a longstanding challenge in catalysis. Our group has developed a series of silylations of primary C-H bonds that occur with site selectivity and diastereoselectivity resulting from an approach to run ...

Divergent and Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Silyl-α-Amino Acids through Palladium-Catalyzed Intermolecular Silylation of Unactivated Primary and Secondary C−H Bonds [PDF]
A general and practical Pd^(II)-catalyzed intermolecular silylation of primary and secondary C−H bonds of α-amino acids and simple aliphatic acids is reported. This method provides divergent and stereoselective access to a variety of optical pure β-silyl-

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Genetically Tunable Enzymatic C‒H Amidation for Lactam Synthesis [PDF]
A major challenge in carbon‒hydrogen (C‒H) bond functionalization is to have the catalyst control precisely where a reaction takes place. Here we report engineered cytochrome P450 enzymes that perform unprecedented enantioselective C‒H amidation ...

Enantioselective, intermolecular benzylic C–H amination catalysed by an engineered iron-haem enzyme [PDF]
C–H bonds are ubiquitous structural units of organic molecules. Although these bonds are generally considered to be chemically inert, the recent emergence of methods for C–H functionalization promises to transform the way synthetic chemistry is performed.

This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Regioselective Access to Sultam Motifs through Cobalt-Catalyzed Annulation of Aryl Sulfonamides and Alkynes using an 8-Aminoquinoline Directing Group [PDF]
The use of cobalt as catalyst in direct C[BOND]H activation protocols as a replacement for more expensive second row transition metals is currently attracting significant attention.

Real‐time assay of ribonucleotide reductase activity with a fluorescent RNA aptamer
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) synthesize DNA building blocks de novo, making them crucial in DNA replication and drug targeting. FLARE introduces the first single‐tube real‐time coupled RNR assay, which enables isothermal tracking of RNR activity at nanomolar enzyme levels and allows the reconstruction of allosteric regulatory patterns and rapid ...
