Single-molecule measurements of rotation catalyzed by the F(1)-ATPase or the F(o)F(1) ATP synthase have provided new insights into the molecular mechanisms of the F(1) and F(o) molecular motors. We recently developed a method to record ATPase-driven rotation of F(1) or F(o)F(1) in a manner that solves several technical limitations of earlier approaches that were significantly hampered by time and angular resolution, and restricted the duration of data collection. With our approach it is possible to collect data for hours and obtain statistically significant quantities of data on each molecule examined with a time resolution of up to 5 μs at unprecedented signal-to-noise.

BcABA3 is an unusual sesquiterpene synthase that lacks the conserved DDxxD and DTE/NSE motifs. Despite this, it can catalyze the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to 2Z,4E-α-ionylideneethane. We used structure prediction, multiscale simulations, and site-directed mutagenesis experiments to investigate BcABA3 and its catalytic mechanism.

Hydroboration of allenes is powerful and atom-economic approach to the synthesis of organoboranes, such as the highly versatile allylboranes. However, regarding regiocontrol, existing methods uniformly deliver the boron functionality to the less hindered β- or γ-position, but not the α-position. The latter is particularly challenging for allenes with substantial steric difference between the two terminals and lacking electronic bias (e.

Modern nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods like carbon relaxation dispersion in the rotating frame (C-R) and proton chemical exchange saturation transfer (H-CEST) are key methods to investigate molecular recognition in biomacromolecules and to detect molecular motions on the μs to s timescale, revealing transient conformational states. Changes in kinetics can be linked to binding, folding, or catalytic events. Here, we investigated whether these methods allow detection of changes in the dynamics of a small, highly selective peptide catalyst during recognition of its enantiomeric substrates.

The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral alkenes remains a daunting challenge due to the lower rotational barrier, especially for longer stereogenic axis (e.g. C-B axis).

Ultrasound-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is pivotal in specifically inducing pyroptosis of tumor cells. However, the effectiveness of pyroptosis is generally hindered by the constraints of ROS generation efficiency. Herein, a new porphyrin-based metal-organic framework (Fe(TCPP)-MOF) was rationally designed via an innovative dual-solvent strategy to amplify ROS generation for ultrasound-controlled pyroptosis.
