Congrats to Holly McErlain (School of Chemistry, University of Glasgow) and Matt Andrews on the discovery of a copper pre-catalyst that allows a step-change in the radioiodination of arenes published in J Org Chem/Org Lett. Another great collaboration with Sally Pimlott and the Watson Group. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations to Rebecca Clarke and Liyao Zeng for their work published in Chemical Science today on carbazole amino acids that mimic tryptophan in peptides and can be used as fluorescent probes to measure protein-protein binding: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Thanks also to our collaborators @Thomson_Lab and Malcolm Kadodwala. Also thanks to Chemical Science for selecting this as a 2024 HOT article.

Nice paper from University of Glasgow Chemistry !
