A Holistic Solution to Icing by Acoustic Waves: De-Icing, Active Anti-Icing, Sensing with Piezoelectric Crystals, and Synergy with Thin Film Passive Anti-Icing
Icing has become a hot topic both in academia and in the industry given its implications in transport, wind turbines, photovoltaics, and telecommunications. Recently proposed de-icing solutions involving the propagation of acoustic waves (AWs) at suitable substrates...
Phosphorylation disrupts long-distance electron transport in cytochrome c
It has been recently shown that electron transfer between mitochondrial cytochrome c and the cytochrome c1 subunit of the cytochrome bc1 and cytochrome c can proceed at long-distance through the aqueous solution. Cytochrome c is thought to adjust its activity by...
Biocatalytic Atroposelective Synthesis of Axially Chiral N-Arylindoles via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
A highly enantioselective biocatalytic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of configurationally labile N-arylindole aldehydes is described. The DKR proceeds by atroposelective bioreduction of the carbonyl group catalyzed by commercial ketoreductases (KREDs), thus...
Ir-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydroarylation of Alkynes for the Synthesis of Axially Chiral Heterobiaryls
The catalytic hydroarylation of alkynes has emerged as an excellent methodology for the synthesis of functionalized alkenes with excellent levels of regio- and stereocontrol (syn). However, in spite of the great progress in this field, the number of asymmetric...
