The oxidation of Lys residues in proline‐rich single‐stranded collagen by LOXL2, a key enzyme for tissue maturation and linked to diseases, was revealed. Oxidation occurs at rates comparable to or higher than those of Lys in unstructured telopeptides, the well‐known native sites of Lysyl oxidase (LOX) activity.

Divergent Synthesis of Möbius and Hückel N‐Heterocycloarenes From a Common Macrocyclic Backbone
In the divergent synthesis of Möbius and Hückel N‐heterocycloarenes from a common macrocyclic precursor, the annulation reaction dictates topology: Scholl reaction gives Möbius topology, while InCl3‐mediated alkyne annulation gives Hückel topology. The Möbius N‐heterocycloarene is unevenly contorted as revealed by crystal structure, and the Hückel N ...

An iron‐photocatalyzed unsymmetrical 1,2‐hetero(atom)difunctionalization of alkenes enables to install orthogonal C–Cl and C–O (alkoxyamine) handles which provides access to diverse nucleophiles via complementary reactivity (SN and photoredox) at two distinct sites. Detailed mechanistic studies elucidate interesting features of the iron catalytic cycle.

A metal‐ and oxidant‐free electrochemical multicomponent di‐functionalization strategy that rapidly converts 1,1‐disubstituted alkenes into α‐tertiary primary amines with simultaneous installation of bio‐relevant sulfur or selenium motifs was devised for late‐stage functionalization. ABSTRACT Quaternary carbon centers, especially those bearing nitrogen,

Metastable Polymers for Circular 3D Printing
3D‐printed polymers are usually permanent and hard to recycle. Here, metastable polymers are designed to fall apart on demand. A chemical trigger unzips the printed material back into its original building blocks within minutes at room temperature.

The Preparatory (Anti)Bonding Character of Molecular Orbitals
Herein, a concept to qualitatively predict changes in bond dissociation energies upon reduction or oxidation of molecular compounds is introduced. Changing the population of so‐called preparatory molecular orbitals influences how molecular fragments are relaxing after bond cleavage, which is shown for isolated organometallic aluminum compounds as well ...

A non‐canonical C16 sesquiterpene synthase from Morganella morganii produces the unusual scaffold descartane. Its cyclisation mechanism was rationalised by isotopic labelling experiments and DFT calculations. Site‐directed mutagenesis altered enzyme function, resulting in alternative products, including voltairene, which requires a different ...

A genome analysis revealed the presence of many bacterial‐type terpene synthases in springtails. Four enzymes from Sinella curviseta were functionally characterised, resulting in the isolation of several compounds including sinellene ether, the first diterpene ether identified from a terpene synthase that represents a novel skeleton.

Predictive Registry Optimization of Molecular Adsorbates on Solid Surfaces
Local C–H “spikes” from a π‐conjugated backbone lock into graphene “pockets”. A geometric registry score turns images obtained by scanning tunneling microscopy at the solid/liquid interface into atomic‐scale adsorption models, enabling assignment of surface atropisomers in large π‐conjugated molecules.
