Xenon binding by a tight yet adaptive chiral soft capsule
Nature Communications, 2020 Xenon binding carries potential for xenon separation and emerging applications in magnetic resonance imaging. Here, the authors report a rare example of a tight yet soft capsule, assembled from two chiral bisurea-bisthiourea macrocycle components, that ...

Reinforced molecular recognition as an alternative to rigid receptors [PDF]
, 2006 In theory, a perfectly rigid receptor will probably be an unbeatable binder. However, rigidity may not be easy to achieve in practice and it is certainly not Nature’s method to realise high affinity. In many proteins binding affinity is increased through

Palladium-catalysed formation of vicinal all-carbon quaternary centres via propargylation
Nature Communications, 2016 Formation of vicinal, quaternary stereocentres is challenging, but such products are commonly encountered in nature. Here, the authors report a palladium catalysed process to form vicinal quaternary carbons via propargylation, including in enantiopure ...

Imide and isatin derivatives as β-lactam mimics of β-lactam antibiotics [PDF]
, 2002 Activated γ-lactams, which are derivatives of succinimide, phthalimide and isatin with suitable elements of molecular recognition, have been synthesised as mimics of the ß-lactam antibiotics and their chemical and biological reactivity ...

Catalytic enantioselective construction of axial chirality in 1,3-disubstituted allenes
Nature Communications, 2019 Highly enantioselective synthesis of allenes has been relying, so far, on the steric hindrance of substrates. Here the authors achieve excellent stereocontrol in the synthesis of chiral allenes with a palladium-DTBM-SEGPHOS catalytic system in a non ...

Molecular Recognition as an Information Channel: The Role of Conformational Changes [PDF]
, 2009 Molecular recognition, which is essential in processing information in biological systems, takes place in a crowded noisy biochemical environment and requires the recognition of a specific target within a background of various similar competing molecules.
