Organophosphorus-catalyzed Staudinger ligation between carboxylic acids and azides in the presence of phenylsilane reductant produces amides. NMR-based mechanistic investigations revealed that the catalytic Staudinger ligation does not proceed via reduction of phosphine oxide but rather via reduction of iminophosphorane, which can subsequently undergo several transformations to produce the amide product.

The trifluoromethyl (-CF) group represents a highly prevalent functionality in pharmaceuticals. Over the past few decades, significant advances have been made in the development of synthetic methods for trifluoromethylation. In contrast, there are currently no metalloenzymes known to catalyze the formation of C(sp)-CF bonds.

: The incorporation of radionuclides into peptides and larger biomolecules requires efficient and sometimes biorthogonal reaction conditions, to which click chemistry provides a convenient approach. : Traditionally, click-based radiolabeling techniques have focused on classical click chemistry, such as copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide [3+2] cycloaddition (CuAAC), strain-promoted azide-alkyne [3+2] cycloaddition (SPAAC), traceless Staudinger ligation, and inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA). : However, newly emerging click-based radiolabeling techniques, including tyrosine-click, sulfo-click, sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx), thiol-ene click, azo coupling, hydrazone formations, oxime formations, and RIKEN click offer valuable alternatives to classical click chemistry.

Protein biosynthesis is a central process in all living cells that is catalyzed by a complex molecular machine─the ribosome. This process is termed translation because the language of nucleotides in mRNAs is translated into the language of amino acids in proteins. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules charged with amino acids serve as adaptors and recognize codons of mRNA in the decoding center while simultaneously the individual amino acids are assembled into a peptide chain in the peptidyl transferase center (PTC).
