Structure-function analysis of a new type of endoperoxidase

Endoperoxidase NvfI catalyzes the incorporation of “three” oxygen atoms, including an endoperoxide and a hydroxyl group, into its substrate asnovolin A, in a single enzyme turnover reaction through a different mechanism from those of previously characterized endoperoxidases.

A ring expansion strategy towards diverse azaheterocycles

Ring expansion to “grow” larger N-heterocycles often uses cycloaddition of strained aza-rings with π-bonds. Here, we report a formal cross-dimerization between three-membered aza-heterocycles and 3- and 4-membered-ring ketones, providing a straightforward means of assembling diverse N-heterocycles.

The Effect of Water on Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells

We reveal that ambient water plays an essential role in surface hydroxylation, epitaxial QDs fusion, and trap behavior in QD photovoltaics. By manipulating the deposition techniques and film morphology, the side effect of ambient water on CQD solar cells can be effectively suppressed.
