Herein we {perform|carry out|execute} a seven-step chemical synthesis of aDNA-encoded macrocycle library (DEML) on DNA. Inspired bypolyketide and mixed peptide-polyketide {natural|all-natural|organic} {products|goods|items|merchandise|solutions}, the librarywas {designed|developed|created|made} to incorporate {rich|wealthy} backbone diversity.…
The thionolactone 3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-benzodioxepine-5-thione (DBT) is shown to homopolymerize and, for the first time, copolymerize with styrene and methacrylates, introducing degradable thioester backbone functionality. The rapid copolymerization with styrene was exploited…
While QM/MM studies of enzymatic reactions are widely used in computational chemistry, the results of such studies are subject to numerous sources of uncertainty, and the effect of different choices…
Excitonic energy transfer in light harvesting complexes, the primary process of photosynthesis, operates with near-unity efficiency. Experimental and theoretical studies suggest that quantum mechanical wave-like motion of excitons in the…
The energy and entropy, expressed in free energy, determine the behavior of a system. Therefore, infinite knowledge of these two quantities leads to precise prediction of the system’s trajectories. Here,…
