An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide
Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

Isotactic poly(cyclohexene carbonate) crystalizes both as enantiopure polymer and upon stereocomplexation of the two opposite enantiomers. Both structures are characterized by multiple H‐‐‐O═C tight attractive interactions, whereas in the stereocomplex a tight interdigitation of the two enantiomeric chains occurs due to additional intimate dipole ...

Metal‐covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs) are novel porous materials that exhibit the advantages of covalent and metal‐organic frameworks. However, it is extremely difficult to resolve their atomic structure and better understand their structure‐properties relation. This work utilizes a synergistic combination of advanced microscopy, spectroscopic, and

P450 Enzyme LyoI Performs Hydro‐2,2′‐Bifuran Oxidation in the Polyether Ionophore Lysocellin
In a study of the biosynthesis of the polyether ionophore lysocellin, the P450 enzyme LyoI was found to catalyze a rare oxidation of a hydro‐2,2′‐bifuran moiety to its hemiketal form. The oxidation was identified as the key for unlocking the bioactivity of lysocellin.

Focus on chirality of HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [PDF]
Chiral HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are of great interest since one enantiomer is often more potent than the corresponding counterpart against the HIV-1 wild type (WT) and the HIV-1 drug resistant mutant strains.

Confirmation of the stereochemistry of spiroviolene
We confirm the previously revised stereochemistry of spiroviolene by X-ray crystallographically characterizing a hydrazone derivative of 9-oxospiroviolane, which is synthesized by hydroboration/oxidation of spiroviolene followed by oxidation of the resultant hydroxy group.

Detecting proteins secreted by a single cell while retaining its viability remains challenging. A particles‐in‐particle (PiPs) system made by co‐encapsulating barcoded microparticles (BMPs) with a single cell inside an alginate hydrogel particle is introduced.

Synthesis and Application of Bioactive N‐Functionalized Aziridines
This review discusses modern synthetic methods for the preparation of aziridine‐containing small molecules, including biocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and photocatalytic strategies. We highlight the compatibility of various synthetic methods with control of the exocyclic N‐substituent.

Ceramide is a component of the sphingomyelin cycle and a well-established lipid signaling molecule. We recently reported that ceramide specifically increased ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), a critical process that leads ...
