Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as

A Photoredox Radical‐Polar Crossover Reaction for the Preparation of Monoprotected Dicarbonyl Compounds

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
An ATRA‐based, Ru‐photocatalyzed radical‐polar crossover reaction for the preparation of monoprotected dicarbonyl compounds is reported. This procedure is based on the capture of a cationic intermediate, arising from the radical step, with diverse nucleophiles.

A Radical Cascade with Double Intramolecular Hydrogen Atom Transfer for the Generation of Bisfunctionalized Cyclopentanes from Linear Alkynes

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 5, 28 January 2026.
A radical cascade process involving the activation of two aliphatic C–H bonds in a series of five elementary steps converts readily available terminal alkynes into functionalized cyclopentylmethyl arylsulfones. The methodology delivers flexible synthetic intermediates and was applied to the preparation of diquinanes and triquinanes possessing a rare ...

Enzymatic synthesis of bioactive quinolones and (thio)coumarins by fungal type III polyketide synthases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Quinolones are valuable scaffolds for drug discovery but are rare in nature. Here, we show that two fungal enzymes, AthePKS and FerePKS, can generate 2‐quinolones and two additional heteroaromatic scaffolds. Using AthePKS, we designed an artificial enzymatic cascade towards an antimicrobial quinolone from a simple precursor and implemented it in E ...
