The a-amino-carboxylic-acids are one of the five major classes of natural products and they
exhibit.-important and diverse biological functions.',* Historically, the aminoacids have been …

Dynamic kinetic resolutions have proven to be a useful method for the preparation of
enantiopure compounds from racemates, leading to the formation of a single enantiomer in …

The assembly of structurally diverse scaffolds via substrate controlled diversity oriented
synthesis (DOS) has proven to be an effective tool in the discovery of novel biologically …

The synthetic utility of proteases has been recognized long before their chemical nature was
known. In 1783, Spallazani postulated from his experiments that gastric juice bears an …

Owing to its bulky, inflexible and hydrophobic tert-butyl side chain, tert-leucine (Tle) finds
increased use in templates or catalysts in asymmetric synthesis as well as in peptidic …

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the origins of
enantioselectivity in benzotetramisole (BTM)-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution of …
