Cysteine Thioaldehydes: Photolytic Generation, Reactivity, and Biological Implications
Photolysis of cysteine phenacylsulfides bearing non‐conjugating electron‐withdrawing substituents leads to high conversions into cysteine thioaldehydes through a Norrish type‐II pathway. This methodology enabled the study of the aqueous reactivity of these important biosynthetic intermediates, which, depending on peptide sequence, pH and buffer ...

Mechanistic studies on model Cu─M/SiO2 catalysts (M = Zn, Ga, and In) reveal that promoters enable a formate spillover pathway from Cu to Mn+ (n = 2 or 3) sites. The promoter's electronic effect on formate bond strengths serves as a quantitative descriptor for activity and selectivity, balancing spillover dynamics with intermediate stabilization to ...

Isolated Sn sites on Cu(111) induce a highly asymmetric charge distribution, which promotes water dissociation, accelerates key intermediate hydrogenation, and suppresses competing hydrogen evolution. As a result, SnCu111 delivers NH3 Faradaic efficiencies above 90% over an 800 mV potential window and enables stable direct solar power‐driven NH3 ...

Generation of the Camptothecin Scaffold by a Flavin‐Catalyzed Photooxidative Skeletal Reorganization
The biosynthetic pathway of the anticancer drug precursor camptothecin involves an enigmatic skeletal reorganization from a 6/5/6 tetrahydro‐β‐carboline to a 6/6/5 pyrroloquinoline ring system. Here, we show that this transformation can be achieved by photooxidation with flavin cofactors, such as flavin mononucleotide (FMN) as catalysts.
