How long does it take to emit an electron from an atom? This question has intrigued scientists for decades. As such emission times are in the attosecond regime, the advent of attosecond metrology using ultrashort and intense lasers has re-triggered strong interest on the topic from an experimental standpoint. Here, we present an approach to measure such emission delays, which does not require attosecond light pulses, and works without the presence of superimposed infrared laser fields.

Background: Marine sponges are enriched with bioactive secondary metabolites, especially circu-lar peptides. Heterocycles are established organic compounds with potential biological value.
Article Synopsis
- Peptides, such as cyclooligopeptides and depsipeptides from cyanobacteria, show promising characteristics for drug discovery due to their unique structural properties and diverse pharmacological activities.
- The study reviews the natural sources, chemical properties, and biological profiles of cyanobacteria-derived thiazoline-based polypeptides (CTBCs), emphasizing their role as potential drug targets and their advantages over traditional small molecules.
- CTBCs demonstrate enhanced stability and binding to targets, suggesting they could address unmet medical needs and serve as valuable compounds in the development of new therapeutics.
