Check out our recent book chapter on Dynamic Self-assembled Supramolecular Catalysts! We describe how self-assembly and cooperativity can be combined to generate catalytic systems with stimuli-responsive properties, leading to out-of-equilibrium systems onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Dynamic Self‐assembled Supramolecular Catalysts

Dynamic Self‐assembled Supramolecular Catalysts

Supramolecular enzyme mimics have traditionally targeted substrate binding or transition state stabilization by utilizing highly rigid structures. Enzymes, however, are not static structures and...

Just out @angew_chem! We show minimal peptide-based catalytic coacervates can be sustained out-of-equilibrium doi.org/10.1002/anie.2025052… Shout out to Subhajit, Saurabh, Chiranjit! @iiserkol Swarnajayanti @ANRFIndia @DBTIndia #LLPS #condensates #systemschemistry #reactionnetwork
Catalytically Active Coacervates Sustained Out‐of‐Equilibrium

Catalytically Active Coacervates Sustained Out‐of‐Equilibrium

Our findings demonstrate that simple building blocks can access active condensates by exploiting their own catalytic prowess that eventually helps in the realization of an out-of-equilibrium spatia...

Photoacidity of Indolinospirobenzopyrans in Water

Photoacidity of Indolinospirobenzopyrans in Water

Indolinospirobenzopyrans in their open protonated form constitute the archetype of “metastable-state photoacids”, as they can release protons persistently and reversibly following visible light...

Nice overview of antibiotic discovery timeline... ourworldindata.org/golden-ag…
What was the Golden Age of Antibiotics, and how can we spark a new one?

What was the Golden Age of Antibiotics, and how can we spark a new one?

Many antibiotics were developed during the “Golden Age of Antibiotics”. How did it happen, why has antibiotic development slowed down since then, and what can we do to reignite it?
