Radiation, DNA and Water: New techniques for deeper insights.
To gain deeper insights into the old questions about the influence of water on radiation interaction with DNA, new spectroscopic techniques had to be applied.
Regioirregular Mizoroki-Heck reaction
The "forbidden" alkene regioisomer during The Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction of acrylates and styrenes, i.e. the alpha coupling product, is now achieved by employing substrate– or zeolite–hindered chemical enviroments with palladium single atom and sub–nanometric cluster catalysts.
Mechanistic Investigation of a Rhodium Catalysed Asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling
The Fletcher group has previously developed a Rh-catalysed asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura type cross-coupling of racemic halides with arylboronic acids. Here, we explore the mechanism of this highly enantioselective transformation (https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41929-021-00589-y).
Several millions of RNA molecules move in unison
Synchronous behavior is widely observed in nature from firefly flashing in animals(1), sounds of hands clapping in human(2), heart and neural rhythm in biology(3,4) to nonmechanical oscillators(5,6) in the physical world...
