Deprotonative C(sp3)/C(sp2)–H (Multi)Silylation of (Hetero)Arenes Mediated by NaTMP
An operationally simple protocol using a strongly basic sodium amide in combination with sterically emcumbered silicon electrophiles enables the deprotonative C–H (multi)silylation of a myriad of (hetero)arenes. Mechanistic investigations highlight the pivotal role of steric and coordination effects in controlling the regioselectivity and efficiency of

Physicochemical analysis of rotavirus segment 11 supports a 'modified panhandle' structure and not the predicted alternative tRNA-like structure (TRLS) [PDF]
.Rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis, which is often fatal in infants. The viral genome consists of 11 double-stranded RNA segments, but little is known about their cis-acting sequences and structural elements.

Isolation and Reactivity of a Square‐Planar Trisamido Silane
We report the synthesis and comprehensive characterisation of a square‐planar Si(+IV) hydride supported by an unsymmetric, trianionic and dearomatised N,N,N‐pincer ligand. This system enables element–ligand cooperative reactivity as an alternative to silicon‐centred redox chemistry, illuminating a largely unexplored regime in high‐valent silicon ...

SIT1 transporter as a potential novel target in treatment of COVID-19
Studies published earlier this year demonstrated the association of the solute carrier SLC6A20 gene with the risk and severity of COVID-19. The SLC6A20 protein product (Sodium-dependent Imino Transporter 1 (SIT1)) is involved in the transport of amino ...

Evidence for a quadruplex structure in the polymorphic hs1.2 enhancer of the immunoglobulin heavy chain 3’ regulatory regions and its conservation in mammals [PDF]
Regulatory regions in the genome can act through a variety of mechanisms that range from the occurrence of histone modifications to the presence of protein-binding loci for self-annealing sequences.

Stereoselective Synthesis and Cytoselective Toxicity of Monoterpene-Fused 2-Imino-1,3-thiazines
Starting from pinane-, apopinane- and carane-based 1,3-amino alcohols obtained from monoterpene-based β-amino acids, a library of monoterpene-fused 2-imino-1,3-thiazines as main products and 2-thioxo-1,3-oxazines as side-products were prepared via two ...

Genomic and experimental evidence for multiple metabolic functions in the RidA/YjgF/YER057c/UK114 (Rid) protein family. [PDF]
BackgroundIt is now recognized that enzymatic or chemical side-reactions can convert normal metabolites to useless or toxic ones and that a suite of enzymes exists to mitigate such metabolite damage.
