Docking results show that stability is driven by geometric convergence inside the pore, not just the number of interactions.

How Tetrodotoxin Blocks Sodium Channels: A Docking and Geometric Perspective | ChemRxiv
Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are essential membrane proteins responsible for electrical signaling in excitable cells. Guanidinium toxins such as tetrodotoxin (TTX) and saxitoxin (STX) block these channels by binding to the extracellular pore ...

Excited to share our @chemrxiv.org preprint on metabolically active living materials #MALMs with physciochemical biocontainment🧵

Why do we need #MALMs?

Because as @economist.com posits additive manufacturing is potentially a better way to make drinks and drugs

We argue #MALMs are the key for it

Coordinative Guest Recognition Triggers Macroscale Deformation of Covalently Linked Metal-Organic Polyhedra Polymer Gels | ChemRxiv
Molecular recognition plays a central role in supramolecular chemistry. The concept of molecular recognition initially emerged from discrete molecular systems and has nowadays been expanded to solid-state soft materials; however, there remains a lack of ...

New work from the group online on @chemrxiv.org! We describe how Lewis Acid-Coupled Electron Transfer enables CO₂ reductive disproportionation with a very mild reductant. The mechanism implies Cp* non-innocence towards CO₂, highly unusual. Bravo Léon for this nice study!

Reductive Disproportionation of CO2 Beyond Redox Limits Enabled by Lewis Acid-Coupled Electron Transfer | ChemRxiv
A frustrated redox triad comprising Al(C6F5)3 (AlCF), CO2, and decamethylferrocene (FeCp*2) promotes reductive disproportionation of CO2 to CO and carbonate under ambient conditions. Spectroscopic and computational data show that a Lewis acid-bound CO2 ...

This is a cool one! We realize that thermally-initiated solid-state reactions are driven by terahertz phonons. Love how straightforward and clean this story is - the paper basically wrote itself! Much more soon! @urochester.bsky.social @chemrxiv.org

Today on @chemrxiv.org, we disclose a C-to-N replacement that actually works complex natural products - a pipe-dream when we started. The secret is to lean in to the triplet nitrene.

Congrats Dong Il, and thanks to the whole team, including collaborators from Sanofi!

-Couples tough nucleophiles (yes, 3° alcohols!)
-Couples electron-rich aryl bromides
-Doesn't need a PC
-Runs on 100 ppm Ni
-Delivers on drug syntheses and late-stage modifications
