Journal ArticleDOI
Selenols catalyze the interchange reactions of dithiols and disulfides in water
TL;DR: A number of types of compounds were surveyed (aromatic thiols, nonthiol nucleophiles, and cations) as potential catalysts for thiol-disulfide interchange, and the only significant rate enhancement was obtained with phenylselenol.
Journal ArticleDOI
A transketolase-based synthesis of (+)-exo-brevicomin
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize the beetle pheromone (+)- exo -brevicomin using a combination of chemical and enzymatic steps, using the commercially available enzyme transketolase (EC 2.2.1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of thermal decomposition of diethylbis(triethylphosphine)platinum(II)
Journal ArticleDOI
Lysine acetylation can generate highly charged enzymes with increased resistance toward irreversible inactivation
Bryan F. Shaw,Grégory F. Schneider,Basar Bilgicer,George K. Kaufman,John M. Neveu,William S. Lane,Julian P. Whitelegge,George M. Whitesides +7 more
TL;DR: The acetylation of lysine represents a simple, inexpensive method for stabilizing bacterial α‐amylase against irreversible inactivation in the presence of the anionic and neutral surfactants that are commonly used in industrial applications.

Transparent elastomeric, contact-mode photolithography mask, sensor, and wavefront engineering element
John A. Rogers,Rebecca J. Jackman,Kateri E. Paul,Olivier Schueller,Tricia L. Breen,George M. Whitesides +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a contact-mode photolithography phase mask includes a diffracting surface having a plurality of indentations and protrusions, which can be used as lenses, gratings, or the like to selectively direct uniform radiation to promote selective photoreaction within itself.
