Wild-type transaminases, a lysine smart donor, and a great scope of noncanonical amino acids, out today in @J_A_C_S (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…). All thanks to a crack team! @asymtmm, @RBWormwood, @RayRitwika, @yining_RPKA, @mreibarkh

Transaminase-Catalyzed Synthesis of β‑Branched Noncanonical Amino Acids Driven by a Lysine Amine...

Abstract. Transaminases are choice biocatalysts for the synthesis of chiral primary amines, including amino acids bearing contiguous stereocenters. In this

Excited that the final version of our work using lysine as a smart donor to prepare branched arylalanines is in @J_A_C_S today! Amazing work by @NoahPDunham and everyone who worked on this! #MerckChemistry @RayRitwika @RBWormwood @yining_RPKA @mreibarkh pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Copper catalyzed Ullmann couplings are one of the oldest ways to forge new bonds. Our new mechanistic study in @ScienceMagazine shows these reactions occur by a novel mechanism: leading to higher TONs, more stable catalysts, and air tolerant conditions! doi.org/10.1126/science.adi9… – at Berkeley, CA

Cross-coupling by a noncanonical mechanism involving the addition of aryl halide to Cu(II)

Apparent ligand oxidation enables catalysis by copper in a more stable oxidation state.

In the 1940s Merck, Abbott, Pfizer and Squibb walk into a bar and come out with a plan to address the worlds need for penicillin by boosting fermentation capabilities. While bar meetup didn’t really happen - the rest did! Cool story by @cenmag 👇 cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/…

From the archives: The 1940s

C&EN describes the rise of the commercial-scale production of penicillin
