The insertion of a fluorescent coumarin unit by using a lysine‐based linker on deferoxamine leads to a chelating agent (DFOKC), whose Cu(II) and Zr(IV) complexes can be used for both optical imaging and positron emission tomography. DFOKC shows increased binding ability for Cu(II) and Zr(II) and improved tumor cell internalization via pinocytosis ...

The stability of pairwise tryptophan (Trp) edge‐to‐face aromatic interactions has been exploited in the design of small tryptophan zipper (Trpzip) peptides. Herein, we report a systematic study of the regiospecific impact of four constitutional isomers of non‐natural fluoro‐Trp, regarding their incorporation at either edge‐ or face‐position.

Dual Excitation and Dual Emission in a 1,4‐Diazepine Bearing an Extended π‐System
We present the synthesis of a benzo[b]benzo[11,12]tetracene[5,6‐ef][1,4]diazepine ( ClBBTDZ ) and a benzo[g]phenanthro[9,10,1‐cde]indazolium ( ClBPIZ ), two novel N‐heterocyclic nanographenes. Both molecules were independently isolated from 2,3‐Dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐1,4‐benzoquinone (DDQ)‐mediated cyclodehydrogenation reaction of the previously reported

What can be learned from the electrostatic environments within nitrogenase enzymes?
Nitrogen fixation is a fundamental, and yet challenging, chemical transformation due to the intrinsic inertness of dinitrogen. Whereas industrial ammonia synthesis relies on the energy‐intensive Haber–Bosch process, nitrogenase enzymes achieve this transformation under ambient conditions—yet at the expense of a remarkably high ATP demand. Understanding

Tailored Watson–Crick Pairing Partners for Xanthosine in RNA
The deamination of guanosine nucleobases results in the formation of xanthosine (X)‐containing RNA. This process formally resembles adenine deamination (A‐to‐I editing). The biological significance and basic chemical consequences of X‐modified RNA are poorly understood.
