Palladacycles − An Old Organometallic Family Revisited: New, Simple, and Efficient Catalyst Precursors for Homogeneous Catalysis

TL;DR: Palladacycles as discussed by the authors are a new family of organometallic precursors, typically containing four or six-electron donor anionic metallated ligands, and have been successfully exploited in catalytic reactions ranging from classical hydrogenations to enantioselective aldol-type condensations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small molecule induced reactivation of mutant p53 in cancer cells

TL;DR: The p53 cancer mutant Y220C is an excellent paradigm for rescuing the function of conformationally unstable p53 mutants because it has a unique surface crevice that can be targeted by small-molecule stabilizers.
