Hey if it works...it works. Catalysis is a state of mind. Not a mol percent loading.

Trifunctional zirconium catalysis-enabled triple modular synthesis
Nature Catalysis, Published online: 02 November 2026; doi:10.1038/s41929-026-01628-2Zirconium catalysis has remained largely confined to Lewis acid and redox chemistry, with only isolated examples of photocatalytic C–H activation. Now trifunctional zirconium catalysis enables modular benzylamine synthesis from alkanes, aldehydes and nitriles by integrating photochemical, redox and Lewis acid reactivity.

Today in Med Chem Lab Chat:

“Who needs catalysis when you can go stoichiometric?

[it wasnt stoichiometric but more like “so much catalyst that my process friends won’t talk to me for a week” ]

[Oh yeah it totally worked too]

An interesting example of getting one metal to coordinate several chemical tasks. This zirconium system connects light-driven activation, redox chemistry and Lewis acid catalysis to assemble complex products from three starting-material modules.

Great seminar and visit from @trujillo-group.bsky.social today. Felt like I learned a lot about sigma-holes in non-covalent catalysis

New paper🚨 We found PNGaseA from an infant-associated B.bifidum has a preference for N-glycans attached to peptides.
Especially happy to see this out after slogging through final experiments during the summer heatwaves 🥵 Thanks to the lovely team! @lucyicm.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Structural basis for N-glycopeptide preference in an infant-derived Bifidobacterium bifidum PNGaseA - Nature Communications
Here, the authors show that a Bifidobacterium PNGaseA uses a β-sheet cradle to recognize N-glycopeptides, linking sequon recognition, cradle closure and catalysis during infant-gut glycan acquisition.

The first topic involves the synthesis and characterisation of helically chiral π-conjugated polymers. This is an interdisciplinary project providing training in transition metal catalysis, continuous flow synthesis, and characterisation of solutions and thin films.
