Takeaway 3: The Alcohol-to-Amide Shortcut The team extended their logic to create a "one-pot" enzymatic cascade that starts from broadly available aliphatic alcohols. This chemoenzymatic strategy is ...
α-Functionalized Si-, Ge-, B-, Se-, and S-amide moieties are present in many medicinally active molecules, but their synthesis remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate a high-throughput synthesis ...
A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl group (C=O) to a nitrogen atom. They're so ubiquitous that 117 of the top ...
Researchers at the Biocatalysis group led by Dr Francesco Mutti at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (University of Amsterdam) have developed a novel use of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) ...
Cellular protein homeostasis is the essential process of regulating the biogenesis, localization and turnover of proteins. Selective degradation of proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome system is a ...
