Trisoxazole Macrolides Potentiate the Microtubule Assembly and Antimitotic Activities of Taxanes
Photoaffinity experiments identified tubulin as a new target of mycalolides. Though weakly cytotoxic, the trisoxazole macrolactone moiety enhanced paclitaxel's microtubule assembly and antimitotic effects. Molecular modeling studies suggested that MyC stabilizes α/β‐tubulin heterodimer interactions.

An independently folded thumb domain from acid‐sensing ion channels (ASICs) preserves ligand‐binding and proton‐sensing properties. NMR‐based interaction and pKa analyses uncover how endogenous and exogenous peptides modulate ASICs, providing a simplified model for rational drug discovery targeting proton‐gated ion channels.

Directed Evolution of an Efficient Polycarbonate Depolymerase With Exceptional Operational Stability
Here, we show that well studied PET hydrolases can be re‐engineered via directed evolution to deconstruct alternative aromatic‐containing commodity polymers. Introduction of only three mutations into LCCICCG was sufficient to generate an efficient polycarbonate hydrolase with high operational stability that can fully depolymerize a polycarbonate sample

Regiodivergent C3 and C4 Amination of Quinolines via Radical and Ionic Pathways
A regiodivergent strategy converts a single N‐aminoquinolinium precursor into either C3‐ or C4‐aminated quinolines. Nucleophile‐induced dearomatization diverges into light‐driven N‐centered radical capture (C3) or base‐promoted SNAr (C4), enabling rapid assembly of aminoquinoline libraries and late‐stage diversification.
