Rationale Mass spectrometry (MS) is introduced to high school students in the UK in many pre‐university course syllabi. As such, we have identified the use of MS as a key technique that should be taught practically to undergraduates from the outset of their studies.

S‐Adenosylmethionine (SAM) hydrolases counter increased SAM epimerisation in thermophilic archaea
S‐Adenosyl‐l‐methionine (SAM) is a vital enzyme cofactor. Epimerisation at the sulfonium centre of biologically active (SS,SCα)‐SAM is driven by heat, yielding biologically inactive (RS,SCα)‐SAM. Here, two novel archaeal SAM hydrolases from the thermophilic Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and the halophilic Haloferax volcanii are shown to cleave (RS,SCα)‐SAM.

An enantioselective rhodium‐catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition enables the synthesis of axially chiral diaryl ethers. Carbonyl coordination ensures high reactivity and regioselectivity, affording products bearing up to four stereogenic axes with good enantio‐ and diastereoselectivity.

The tryptophan prenyltransferase ComQ from Bacillus subtilis 168 can prenylate daptomycin at Trp1
ComQ168 from Bacillus subtilis 168 catalyzes C‐terminal tryptophan farnesylation of ComX to generate a competence‐inducing pheromone. Recombinant ComQ168 also modifies cyclic peptides, including Daptomycin, likely at the N‐terminal tryptophan. Structural modeling highlights a C‐terminal binding region, supporting substrate promiscuity and establishing ...

Asymmetric Iron‐Catalyzed Vicinal C(sp3)─H Diamination of Carboxylic Acids
An iron‐catalyzed vicinal α,β‐C(sp3)─H diamination of readily available carboxylic acids furnishes chiral α,β‐diamino acids in a single pot with high regio‐, diastereo‐, and enantioselectivity (up to >20:1 dr and >99% ee). ABSTRACT The direct construction of chiral 1,2‐diamines through the stereoselective functionalization of two vicinal C(sp3)─H bonds
