Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide Profiling of 5-Formylcytosine Reveals Its Roles in Epigenetic Priming
Chun-Xiao Song,Keith E. Szulwach,Qing Dai,Ye Fu,Shi-Qing Mao,Li Lin,Craig Street,Yujing Li,Mickael Poidevin,Hao Wu,Juan Gao,Peng Liu,Lin Li,Guoliang Xu,Peng Jin,Chuan He +15 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the genomic locations of 5fC can be determined by coupling chemical reduction with biotin tagging, and roles of active 5mC/5hmC oxidation and TDG-mediated demethylation in epigenetic tuning at regulatory elements are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of amides to esters by the nickel-catalysed activation of amide C-N bonds
Liana Hie,Noah F. Fine Nathel,Tejas K. Shah,Emma L. Baker,Xin Hong,Yun-Fang Yang,Peng Liu,Kendall N. Houk,Neil K. Garg +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that amide carbon–nitrogen bonds can be activated and cleaved using nickel catalysts and is expected to lead to the further use of amides in the construction of carbon–heteroatom or carbon–carbon bonds using non-precious-metal catalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of Photoinduced Metal-Free Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization: Experimental and Computational Studies.
Xiangcheng Pan,Cheng Fang,Marco Fantin,Marco Fantin,Nikhil Malhotra,Woong Young So,Linda A. Peteanu,Abdirisak Ahmed Isse,Armando Gennaro,Peng Liu,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski +10 more
TL;DR: A deeper understanding of the chemical processes of metal-free ATRP is provided that can aid the design of better catalytic systems and elucidates several important common pathways involved in synthetically useful organic reactions catalyzed by photoredox catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational explorations of mechanisms and ligand-directed selectivities of copper-catalyzed Ullmann-type reactions.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated ligand-directed selectivities in Ullmann-type coupling reactions of methanol and methylamine with iodobenzene by β-diketone-and 1,10-phenanthroline-ligated CuI complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palladium-catalyzed meta-selective C-H bond activation with a nitrile-containing template: computational study on mechanism and origins of selectivity.
Yun-Fang Yang,Gui-Juan Cheng,Peng Liu,Dasheng Leow,Tian-Yu Sun,Ping Chen,Xinhao Zhang,Jin-Quan Yu,Yun-Dong Wu,Kendall N. Houk +9 more
TL;DR: Structural and distortion energy analysis of the transition states revealed significant effects of distortions of the template on mechanism and regioselectivity, which provided hints for further developments of new templates.
