A screening platform using a photoaffinity-labelled amine fragment library allows identification and profiling of new fragment-protein interactions - exciting news in drug discovery from Jacob Bush and co-workers at GSK and Chemistry - University of Strathclyde in Angewandte Chemie: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Enjoyed yesterday’s #Collaboration2020 virtual event at Syngenta UK featuring a poster from our very own Josh Linfoot - looking forward to an excellent day two!

A newly optimized iodoarene catalyst for the enantioselective synthesis of difluorinated alkyl bromides, with supporting computational studies - nice work from Jacobsen Lab and colleagues at Harvard Chemistry in J. Am. Chem. Soc.: pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

Individual resonances in overlapping multiplets can now be selectively excited in NOESY experiments using the rapid GEMSTONE approach, developed by Peter Kiraly, Ralph Adams and colleagues at UoM Chemistry in Angewandte Chemie: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…


In this week's episode we're joined by César Adriano Bauer (alumnus of the Arion group, Gentilucci and Spivey Group, MaulideGroup and postdoc at Baran Lab) who takes us through his work on cyclopropanation by oxidative umpolung published in Angewandte Chemie! youtu.be/wwuIT8CVQAs

Congratulations Herzon Lab for your total asymmetric synthesis of the Celastraceae natural product core euonyminol in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Super impressive! Look forward to seeing one of the cathedulin bis-macrocycles yielding to chemical synthesis soon. ACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

New #PhD #studentship sponsored by AstraZeneca available in my group in collaboration with @BeckyLGreenaway and Spivey Group on C–H functionalisation. Funding at UK levels. Interested candidates please get in contact by email.

Hot off the press! Check out our Mechanism of the Month piece on MIDA-Directed meta-Selective C-H Functionalizations in Trends in Chemistry - from Josh Linfoot and Alex Williams: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cmCR9CpcYOz…


This morning we're talking about the novel idea of skeletal editing by N-atom deletion, discussing the interesting approaches from Levin Group at UChicago Chemistry in nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…) and the Lu Group at Nanjing University in Angewandte Chemie (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…)!

Great paper from the Balasubramanian group at Cambridge Chemistry in Nature Chemistry on probing the interactome of G-quadruplexes using co-binding-mediated protein profiling: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Directed evolution engineers an enzyme to catalyse the asymmetric alkylation of ketones - a nice read with some interesting mechanistic discussion from Frances Arnold in Angewandte Chemie: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…


Scientists led by Bill Morandi Morandi Lab #LOC developed a simple method for converting the #indole group into other important structural elements. This facilitates the search for pharmaceutically active substances. Read more on: doi.org/10.1126/scienc… ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
