Published: November 2016

A new method for the stereoselective metal-free syn-dihydroxylation of electron-rich olefins is reported, involving reaction with TEMPO/IBX in trifluoroethanol (TFE) or hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and the addition of a suitable nucleophile. Orthogonally protected syn 1,2-diols were obtained with high levels of diastereocontrol, and these products were selectively deprotected and selectively functionalized into synthetically useful compounds.

Continuous cropping obstacle has been becoming the bottleneck for the stable development of morel cultivation. The allelopathic effect of soil allelochemicals may play an instrumental role in the morel soil sickness. In this study, the allelochemicals were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combined with in vitro bioassay.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are essential for cell-to-cell communication because they transport functionally active molecules, including proteins, RNA, and lipids, from secretory cells to nearby or distant target cells. Seminal plasma contains a large number of EVs (sEVs) that are phenotypically heterogeneous. The aim of the present study was to identify the RNA species contained in two subsets of porcine sEVs of different sizes, namely small sEVs (S-sEVs) and large sEVs (L-sEVs).

Species of the genus Ganoderma are important medicinal and edible mushrooms, with polysaccharides being its main active ingredient. The submerged fermentation of Ganoderma is an important source of polysaccharides in the mycelia. In this study, a single factor test and an orthogonal test were employed to optimize the medium and fermentation conditions with the objective of obtaining a high content of polysaccharide in the liquid submerged fermentation culture mycelia of Ganoderma species.

Peptide stapling has emerged as a versatile approach in drug discovery to reinforce secondary structure elements especially α-helices and improve properties of linear bioactive peptides. Inspired by the prevalence of arginine in protein-protein and protein-DNA interfaces, we investigated guanidinium-stapling as a means to constrain helical peptides. Guanidinium stapling was readily achieved on solid support, utilizing two orthogonally protected lysine or unatural α-amino acid residues with an amino function.

Glycopolymers have been employed as biomimetic glycoconjugates in both biological and biomedical research and applications. Among them, chain-end functionalized glycopolymers are very often explored for protein modification, microarray, biosensor, bioprobe and other applications. Herein, we report a straightforward synthesis of α,ω-end orthogonally functionalizable glycopolymers.
