We ended the week with a deep dive (in the seminar room and beyond) into #photochemistry with Paolo Melchiorre's talk on #organocatalytic intermediates, which can directly enter an electronically excited state by absorbing visible light, and the potential of natural #biocatalytic intermediates.

Excited about #biocatalytic ATP-independent amide formation in water? Kudos to Erna for her work on the #lipase SpL, achieving high space-time yields (up to 864 g/Ld), and demonstrating the involvement of a catalytic tetrad. @ACSCatalysis ...

This synthesis of (R)-reticuline and (+)-salutaridine is a great example for the combined power of chemical and #biocatalytic methods in #totalsynthesis. Congratulations Emmanuel and everyone involved! #elkcrew @ChemicalScience...

We just made the #biocatalytic #demethylation using cobalamin dependent enzymes a lot more straight forward by fusing the two required enzymes. Congratulations to the authors Chris, @simona_pompei, Kristina, Michi and @WKroutil. Enjoy reading! ...

Are you fascinated by the complex structures of #alkaloids? Ever wondered about #biocatalytic strategies for their asymmetric synthesis? Find out more in our recent review in @RSCAdvances, by Jörg, @WKroutil, Emmanuel and Bettina...
