Summary CRISPR‐Cas9 is widely used for genome editing, but its PAM sequence requirements limit its efficiency. In this study, we explore Faecalibaculum rodentium Cas9 (FrCas9) for plant genome editing, especially in rice. FrCas9 recognizes a concise 5′‐NNTA‐3′ PAM, targeting more abundant palindromic TA sites in plant genomes than the 5′‐NGG‐3′ PAM ...

Catalyst optimisation for asymmetric synthesis by ligand chirality element addition - a perspective on stereochemical cooperativity [PDF]
The concept of matched and mismatched stereochemical pairings has been utilised extensively in organic synthesis, with the cooperativity resulting from the former enabling many reactions to proceed with high stereoselectivity.
