C‐Terminal Functionalization Methods of Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
C‐terminal functionalization offers powerful routes to peptide and protein diversification, yet epimerization, hydrolysis, and selectivity remain key challenges. This Review surveys enzymatic, decarboxylative, and condensation strategies, highlighting advances toward chemo‐ and regioselective, protecting‐group‐free, atom‐efficient methods applicable to

Green and sustainable synthesis of magnetite from copper slag via citrate complexation for methylene blue dye removal from water

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study proposes a novel, green, and sustainable method for synthesizing magnetic iron oxides from metallurgical copper slag (CS), leveraging its iron content as a valuable resource. Iron was extracted via acid leaching using edible citric acid (ECA), forming a citrate–iron complex (CSL), which was subsequently thermally decomposed at 300°C
