Mechanistic investigations of the Fe(ii) mediated synthesis of squaraines (2024)
Journal Article

The scission and homologation of CO is a fundamental process in the Fischer–Tropsch reaction. However, given the heterogeneous nature of the catalyst and forcing reaction conditions, it is difficult to determine the intermediates of this reaction. He...

Direct routes to functional RAFT agents from substituted N-alkyl maleimides (2022)
Journal Article

N-substituted maleimides have become an indispensable tool for the synthesis of bioconjugates and functional materials. Herein, we present three strategies for the incorporation of N-alkyl substituted maleimides into RAFT agents and show that these m...

Conversion of aldoses to valuable ?-amino alcohols using amine transaminase biocatalysts (2018)
Journal Article

The conversion of readily available monosaccharides to high-value amino alcohols using a key biocatalytic step is an attractive strategy for the preparation of these chiral synthons. Here, we report a previously undescribed example of the direct ami... Read More about Conversion of aldoses to valuable ?-amino alcohols using amine transaminase biocatalysts.

Defective recognition of LC3B by mutant SQSTM1/p62 implicates impairment of autophagy as a pathogenic mechanism in ALS-FTLD (2016)
Journal Article

Growing evidence implicates impairment of autophagy as a candidate pathogenic mechanism in the spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders which includes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (ALS-FTLD). SQSTM1, which encode... Read More about Defective recognition of LC3B by mutant SQSTM1/p62 implicates impairment of autophagy as a pathogenic mechanism in ALS-FTLD.
