Increasing the diversity of bio-based polymers is needed to address the combined problems of plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The magnitude of the problems necessitates rapid discovery of new materials; however, identification of appropriate chemistries maybe slow using current iterative methods. Machine learning (ML) methods could significantly expedite new material discovery and property identification.

Alteration of a well-established reaction mechanism for access to different molecular structures is an inherently intriguing research subject. In that context, syn-stereospecific alkene dihalogenation draws attention as a long-standing problem in synthetic organic chemistry. The simplest approach would be the incorporation of an additional stereo-inverting step within the traditional anti-dihalogenation process.

Photoenzymes are light-powered biocatalysts that typically rely on the excitation of cofactors or unnatural amino acids for their catalytic activities. A notable natural example is the fatty acid photodecarboxylase, which uses light energy to convert aliphatic carboxylic acids to achiral hydrocarbons. Here we report a method for the design of a non-natural photodecarboxylase based on the excitation of enzyme-bound catalytic intermediates, rather than reliance on cofactor excitation.

Crystallography at low resolution must determine the atomic model from less experimental observations, which is challenging in the absence of a model. In addition, model bias is more severe when independent experimental data are scarce. Our methods solve the phase problem by combining the location of accurate model fragments using Phaser with density modification and interpretation of the resulting maps using SHELXE.

Drug resistance in cancer poses a serious challenge in finding an effective remedy for cancer patients, because of the multitude of contributing factors influencing this complex phenomenon. One way to counter this problem is using a more targeted and dose-limiting approach for drug delivery, rather than relying on conventional therapies that exhibit multiple pernicious side-effects. Stability and specificity have traditionally been the core issues of peptide-based delivery vectors.
