Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.The study of the Diels–Alder reaction of cinnamaldehyde and cyclopentadiene, catalyzed by chiral imidazolidine‐4‐thiones, led to the discovery of a highly regio‐ and stereoselective Michael‐addition and consecutive ring closure. Here, the imidazolidine‐4‐thione not only catalytically activates cinnamaldehyde but also participates as the nucleophile to ...

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
