Peptide‐Carbazolyl Cyanobenzene Conjugates: Enabling Biomolecule Functionalization via Photoredox and Energy Transfer Catalysis

Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Jérôme Waser, Beat Fierz, Xingyu Liu, Wei Cai

Since their discovery in 2012, carbazolyl (iso)phthalonitrile derivatives (Cz(I)PN) have found significant applications as photocatalysts in organic chemistry. Herein, we introduce two efficient methods for incorporating carbazolyl cyanobenzenes into vario ...

Synthesis of Fluorescent Cyclic Peptides via Gold(I)-Catalyzed Macrocyclization

Aleksandra Radenovic, Jérôme Waser, Beat Fierz, Xingyu Liu, Nathan Cyprien Arsène Ronceray, Wei Cai

Rapid and efficient cyclization methods that form structurally novel peptidic macrocycles are of high importance for medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report the first gold(I)-catalyzed macrocyclization of peptide-EBXs (ethynylbenziodoxolones) via C2-Trp C–H ...

CENP-A and CENP-B collaborate to create an open centromeric chromatin state

Beat Fierz, Harsh Nagpal, Wei Cai

Centromeres are epigenetically defined via the presence of the histone H3 variant CENP-A. Contacting CENP-A nucleosomes, the constitutive centromere associated network (CCAN) and the kinetochore assemble, connecting the centromere to spindle microtubules d ...
