The reactions of trans-[PtCl₄(RCN)₂] (R= Me, Et, CH₂Ph, Ph) with the diamines and the triamine NH₂{spacer}NH₂ (spacer = CH₂CH₂, CH(Me)CH₂, CH₂CH₂CH₂, CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂, CH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂) in a molar ratio 1 : 2 produce trans-[PtCl₄{NH=C(R)NH{spacer}NH₂}₂] (spacer/R = CH₂CH₂/Et 1, CH₂CHMe/Et 2 (a mixture of regioisomers), CH₂CH₂CH₂/Et 3, CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂/Et 4, CH₂CH₂/Me 5, CH₂CH₂/CH₂Ph 6, CH₂CH₂/Ph 7, CH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂/Et 8) with the monodentately coordinated amidine ligands having the pendant NH₂ groups. The complexes have been characterised by C, H, and N elemental analyses, ¹³C CP-MAS NMR and IR spectroscopy, (TOF)-ESI-MS, and [1·H₂](Pic)₂·EtOH also by X-ray diffraction.

Disulfide bridging, also known as disulfide stapling, is a powerful strategy for the construction of site-selective protein bioconjugates. Here we describe the first examples of a new class of such reagents, containing a 'stable-labile' design. These dual-reactive reagents are designed to form a stable bond to one cysteine and a labile bond to the second; resulting in a robust attachment to the protein with one end of the bridge, whilst the other end serves as a reactive handle for subsequent bioconjugation.

Given the current interest toward optically pure compounds, various forms of chiral induction enabled by diverse chiral sources as well as the use of multiple catalysts under one-pot conditions have been in focus. In one such promising development, an achiral -sulfonamide protected 1,6-amino allyl alcohol (NaphSONHCHC(Ph)CHCH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHCHOH) was subjected to Tsuji-Trost activation and an intramolecular amination to form important chiral pyrrolidine frameworks.

Article Synopsis
- Transpeptidation catalyzed by sortase is essential for the infection process of Gram-positive bacteria, making it important to monitor its activity and find inhibitors.
- A new digital imaging method was developed to measure sortase A (SrtA) activity, using gold nanoparticles to visualize and quantify the enzyme's action at a single-particle level.
- This method shows high sensitivity for detecting SrtA and allows for the testing of various inhibitors, offering a useful analytical tool for research in infection mechanisms and drug development.
Aromatic Helical Foldamers as Nucleophilic Catalysts for the Regioselective Acetylation of Octyl β-d-Glucopyranoside.

Two indolocarbazole-naphthyridine foldamers 2 and 3 that fold into helical conformations were prepared. The 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) moiety was introduced at one end of the foldamer strands to develop foldamer-based catalysts for the site-selective acylation of polyols. These foldamers adopt helical conformations containing internal cavities capable of binding octyl β-d-glucopyranoside.

Product template (PT) domains from fungal nonreducing polyketide synthases (NR-PKSs) are responsible for controlling the aldol cyclizations of poly-β-ketone intermediates assembled during the catalytic cycle. Our ability to understand the high regioselective control that PT domains exert is hindered by the inaccessibility of intrinsically unstable poly-β-ketones for in vitro studies. We describe here the crystallographic application of "atom replacement" mimetics in which isoxazole rings linked by thioethers mimic the alternating sites of carbonyls in the poly-β-ketone intermediates.
