Expanding computational biochemistry towards complex and non-natural compounds

Anastasia Sveshnikova

In the beginning was the metabolism. The biochemical processes that make life possible transformed the soup of chemicals into the life on Earth we know today. Since then, living organisms have evolved, and life on Earth has become more complex. Living orga ...

Autocatalysis and CO2: Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) Meets Natural Processes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Martin Hulla, Jorge Gustavo Uranga

Autocatalytic reactions were proposed to play a key role at the beginning of life starting from the first reduction of CO2 to formate, acetate and C-1-C-4 hydrocarbons. In carbon capture and utilization (CCU) processes, the same reactions were demonstrated ...

Synthesis, isolation and application of a sila-ketenyl anion

Rosario Scopelliti

Ynolates or ketenyl anions, [RCCO]-, are negatively charged reactive intermediates, which can be generated in situ and used for divergent chemical transformations. Ynolates can react either at the oxygen or carbon centres or across the C-C triple bond, mak ...

High-affinity peptides developed against calprotectin and their application as synthetic ligands in diagnostic assays

Christian Heinis, Florence Pojer, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Cristina Diaz Perlas, Lluc Farrera Soler

A peptide was developed that binds to calprotectin, a marker of major inflammatory disorders, and found to be suited for diagnostic tests. The use of synthetic peptides in assays is of great interest due to their high precision, robustness and low price. ...

Direct conversion of lignin to functionalized diaryl ethers via oxidative cross-coupling

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu

Efficient valorization of lignin, a sustainable source of functionalized aromatic products, would reduce dependence on fossil-derived feedstocks. Oxidative depolymerization is frequently applied to lignin to generate phenolic mono- mers. However, due to th ...

One-pot synthesis of functionalized bis(trifluoromethylated)benziodoxoles from iodine(i) precursors

Jérôme Waser, Nieves Pilar Ramirez Hernandez, Tobias Michael Milzarek, Xingyu Liu

Bis(trifluoromethylated)benziodoxoles (Bx) are broadly used cyclic hypervalent iodine reagents due to their stability and unique chemical properties. However, current methods to access them require several steps and long reaction times, making their synthe ...

Optimised three-dimensional in vitro retinoblastoma models tailored for drug discovery and clinical translatability

Irina Sinenko

Retinoblastoma, while relatively rare, stands as the most prevalent intraocular cancer. In Switzerland, the survival rate approaches 100%, but it drops to less than 50% in low-income countries. The current treatment options for retinoblastoma rely on a lim ...
