There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

抗原变异可使得多种致病微生物易于逃避宿主免疫应答。表达在感染红细胞表面的恶性疟原虫红细胞表面蛋白1（PfPMP1）与感染红细胞、内皮细胞、树突状细胞以及胎盘的单个或多个受体作用，在黏附及免疫逃避中起关键的作用。每个单倍体基因组var基因家族编码约60种成员，通过启动转录不同的var基因变异体为抗原变异提供了分子基础。

C-H functionalization in the synthesis of amino acids and peptides.

Transition metal-catalysed C–H activation has emerged as an increasingly powerful platform for molecular syntheses, enabling applications to natural product syntheses, late-stage modification, pharmaceutical industries and material sciences, among others. This Primer summarizes representative best practices for the experimental set-up and data deposition for C–H activation, as well as discussing key developments including recent advances in asymmetric, photoinduced and electrocatalytic C–H activation. Likewise, strategies for applications of C–H activation towards the assembly of structurally complex (bio)polymers and drugs in academia and industry are discussed. In addition, current limitations in C–H activation and possible approaches for overcoming these shortcomings are reviewed. This Primer provides an overview of the best practices for C–H activation as well as key advances in asymmetric, photoinduced and electrocatalytic-mediated catalysis for this synthetic platform. An overview of how C–H activation facilitates the synthesis of molecules such as structurally complex (bio)polymers and drugs is provided along with the current challenges and priorities for the next decade.
