The Kinetic Resolution (KR) of α-alkylated enolisable disubstituted anhydrides has been shown to be possible for the first time. In the presence of an ad hoc designed novel class of bifunctional sulfamide organocatalyst, a regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective cycloaddition reaction between the enolisable anhydride and benzaldehydes provides densely functionalised γ-butyrolactones in one pot (up to 19 : 1 dr, 94% ee) with control over three contiguous stereocentres. The concomitant resolution of the starting material anhydride, provides access to a range of chiral succinate derivatives with selectivity factors up to S* = 10.5.

Catalytic enantioselective substitution of the readily available racemic α-halo carbonyl compounds by nitrogen nucleophiles represents one of the most convenient and direct approaches to access enantioenriched α-amino carbonyl compounds. Distinct from the two available strategies involving radicals and enolate ions, herein we have developed a new protocol featuring an electronically opposite way to weaken/cleave the carbon-halogen bond. A suitable chiral anion-based catalyst enables effective asymmetric control over the key positively charged intermediates.

Colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (CELISAs) have long been used for protein biomarker detection in diagnostics. Unfortunately, as confined by the monochromatic nature of detection signals and the limited catalytic activity of enzymes, CELISAs suffer from poor visual resolution and low sensitivity, hindering their effectiveness for early diagnostics in resource-limited settings. Herein, we report an ultrasensitive, high-visual-resolution CELISA (named PE-TSA-AuAg Cage-CELISA) that combines kinetically controlled growth of Ag in AuAg nanocages with poly-enzyme-boosted tyramide signal amplification (PE-TSA), enabling visual semiquantitative detection of protein biomarkers at attomolar levels with the naked eye.

Genetically encoded noncanonical amino acids can introduce new-to-nature activation modes into enzymes. While these amino acids can act as catalysts on their own due to their inherent chemical properties, interactions with adjacent residues in an enzyme, such as those present in natural catalytic dyads or triads, unlock a higher potential for designer enzymes. We incorporated a boron-containing amino acid into the protein scaffold RamR to create an active enzyme for the kinetic resolution of α-hydroxythioesters.

Electrochemical liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (e-LCTEM) offers great potential for investigating the structural dynamics of nanomaterials during electrochemical reactions. However, challenges arise from the difficulty in achieving the optimal electrolyte thickness, leading to inconsistent electrochemical responses and limited spatial resolution. In this study, we present advanced e-LCTEM techniques tailored for tracking Pt/C degradation under electrochemical polarization at short intervals with high spatial resolution.

Two or more protein ligands may compete against each other to interact transiently with a protein receptor. While this is a ubiquitous phenomenon in cell signaling, existing technologies cannot identify its kinetic complexity because specific subpopulations of binding events of different ligands are hidden in the averaging process in an ensemble. In addition, the limited time resolution of prevailing methods makes detecting and discriminating binding events among diverse interacting partners challenging.
