Anions can exert a notable influence on the solubility and folding of protein structures,
consequently altering their activity and stability due to the well-known Hofmeister effect …

In the recently burgeoning field of asymmetric [2+ 2] photocycloaddition, a challenging
hurdle lies in achieving a multilevel control of chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and …

Supramolecular interactions can help recognize and organize substrates around an
enzyme's active sites and subsequently assemble a new molecule in a certain way. Inspired …

Abstract Light-induced [2+ 2] cycloaddition is the most straightforward way to generate
cyclobutanes, which are core structures of many natural products, drugs and bioactive …

Visible-light-promoted [2+ 2] cycloaddition provides a straightforward and efficient way to
produce cyclobutanes, which are the core skeleton in commercial pharmaceuticals and fine …

Coordination cage catalysis has commonly relied on the endogenous binding of substrates,
exploiting the cavity microenvironment and spatial constraints to engender increased …

An asymmetric aminocatalytic activation strategy to obtain enantioenriched cyclobutanes
through [2+ 2] photocycloaddition under visible light irradiation is presented. This metal-free …

The ability to program new modes of catalysis into proteins would allow the development of
enzyme families with functions beyond those found in nature. To this end, genetic code …

Although the photodimerization of acenaphthylene (ACE) has been known for 100 years, the
asymmetric cycloaddition of its 1‐substituted derivatives is unknown. Herein, we report a …

Abstract The photochemical [2+ 2] cycloaddition of styrenes provides a frequently used route
for the synthesis of multi-substituted cyclobutanes. Despite the extensive studies in noble …
