Aldolases are powerful C-C bond-forming enzymes for asymmetric organic synthesis because of their supreme stereoselectivity, diverse electrophiles and nucleophiles, and promising scalability. Stereodivergent engineering of aldolases to tune the selectivity for the synthesis of stereoisomers of chiral molecules is highly desirable but has rarely been reported. This study documented the semirational engineering of the decarboxylative aldolase UstD with the focused rational iterative site-specific mutagenesis (FRISM) strategy to perform a C-C bond-forming reaction with dione electrophiles.

Herein, we describe a hexavalent tellurium-based chalcogen bonding catalysis platform capable of addressing reactivity and selectivity issues. This research demonstrates that hexavalent tellurium salts can serve as a class of highly active chalcogen bonding catalysts for the first time. The tellurium centers in these hexavalent catalysts have only one exposed interaction site, thus providing a favorable condition for the controlling of reaction selectivity.

The previously reported Template system for the prediction of human CYP2B6-mediated reactions (Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 26 309-330, 2011) has been refined with the introduction of ideas of allowable width, Trigger-residue and the residue-initiated movement of ligands in the active site. The refined system also includes ideas of bi-molecule binding on Template. With the use of these ideas in common with other Template systems for human CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C18, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4, 360 reactions of 261 distinct chemicals reported as CYP2B6 ligands were examined in the refined system.

Palladium(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization has attracted considerable attention as a pathway to late-stage modification of peptides. Herein, we report the Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H arylation of peptides directed by an amidoxime ether, which can be easily incorporated into peptides at any amide bond. Site- and stereoselective arylation of peptides has been achieved, including an unprecedented example of C-H arylation of an internal residue.

Synthetic C-glycosides play a crucial role in molecular biology and medicine. With the surge of interest in C-glycosides and the demand to provide efforts with sufficient feedstock, it is highly significant to pursue novel methodologies to access C-glycosides in a concise and efficient manner. Here, we disclose an attractive strategy that diverges itself from conventional multistep reaction sequences involving the manipulations of protecting groups.
