Regression modeling is becoming increasingly prevalent in organic chemistry as a tool for reaction outcome prediction and mechanistic interrogation. Frequently, to acquire the requisite amount of data for such studies, researchers employ combinatoria...
A virtual screening protocol based on machine learning models was used to identify mimetics of the natural product (-)-galantamine. This fully automated approach identified eight compounds with bioactivities on at least one of the macromolecular targ...
Directed evolution is an important research activity in synthetic biology and biotechnology. Numerous reports describe the application of tedious mutation/screening cycles for the improvement of proteins. Recently, knowledge-based approaches have fac...

The most recent version of the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules for the determination of stereodescriptors as described in Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry: IUPAC Recommendations and Preferred Names 2013 (the "Blue Book"; Favre and Powell. Royal Society of ...
Design of therapeutically viable antimicrobial peptides with cell selectivity against microorganisms is an important step towards the development of new antimicrobial agents. Here, we report four de novo designed, short amphipathic sequences based on...

A highly enantioselective and minimally polluting approach to optically pure chiral alcohols is developed using cheap, readily available and sustainable marine-derived fungi as catalysts. An evaluation of the synthetic potential of 13 Chinese marine ...
While the biological function of the 3α epimer of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) remains unknown, its presence needs to be accurately captured and separated from the main 3β epimer, to avoid positive bias in vitamin D status analyses. Several recent L...
