DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c12907
Abstract: A series of straight-chain (C7-C13) alkyl-O-methyl aldoximes (R-C(H)═NOMe) were synthesized with various functional groups at the remote ends (alkenes, halogen, -COOH, and NH2). Their isomers about the C═N bond showed ∼60-40% E-Z-ratio in organic solutions.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.6b12949
Abstract: A general method for sequence-specific binding of peptides remains elusive despite decades of research. By creating an array of "hydrophobically coded dimples" on the surface of surface-core doubly cross-linked micelles, we synthesized water-soluble nanoparticle receptors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-09333-4
Abstract: G-protein-gated inward rectifying potassium channels (GIRKs) require Gβγ subunits and phosphorylated phosphatidylinositides (PIPs) for gating. Although studies have provided insight into these interactions, the mechanism of how these events are modulated by Gβγ and the… read more here.
