Branch-point syntheses in nonribosomal peptide assembly are rare but useful strategies to generate tripodal peptides with advantageous hexadentate iron-chelating capabilities, as seen in siderophores. However, the chemical logic underlying the peptide branching by nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) often remains complex and elusive. Here, we review the common strategies for the biosynthesis of branched nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) and present our biochemical investigation on the NRPS-catalyzed assembly of fimsbactin A, a branched mixed-ligand siderophore produced by the human pathogenic strain .

The magnetic structures of the Ho-based i-MAX phase (MoHo)GaC were studied with neutron powder diffraction at low temperature. (MoHo)GaC crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm. The material undergoes two successive antiferromagnetic transitions at T = 10 K and T = 7.

Three seco-norabietane diterpenoids, salvicsites A-C (-), along with two known compounds, were isolated from the roots and rhizomes of Diels f. Stib. Salvicsite A () represents an unprecedented structural combination, featuring an eight-membered α-methyl-α,β-unsaturated lactone ring and a five-membered α,β-unsaturated lactone ring, based on a 6/6/5/8 ring system.

Background: Cystic fibrosis is a multisystem disease characterised by the production of thick secretions causing recurrent pulmonary infection, often with unusual bacteria. Intravenous (IV) antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of acute deteriorations in symptoms (pulmonary exacerbations); however, recently the assumption that exacerbations are due to increases in bacterial burden has been questioned. This is an update of a previously published review.

Bismuth ferrites, specifically perovskite-type BiFeO and mullite-type BiFeO, hold significant technological promise as catalysts, photovoltaics, and room-temperature multiferroics. However, challenges arise due to their frequent cocrystallization, particularly in the nanoregime, hindering the production of phase-pure materials. This study unveils a controlled sol-gel crystallization approach, elucidating the phase formation complexities in the bismuth ferrite oxide system by coupling thermochemical analysis and total scattering with pair distribution function analysis.
