We are excited to share our cover-featured review in @angew_chem Novit! Fantastic work by @Lenard_Saile on acylations across biology, chemistry, and in between. Why nature choose acyl phosphates? Coupling reactivity with confinement may hold the answer. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

We found a peptide that forms amyloid fibers—the types associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Although the exact pathway is unknown, a complication is that these fibers grow autocatalytically—once a fiber is formed, it helps form new ones. tinyurl.com/54x79mxz

Super happy to see our paper published in @J_A_C_S!! ACAs can be used as building blocks for transient supramolecular polymers which can be characterized via DOSY NMR over time. Thanks to all the authors! @S__DI_STEFANO @gianfry_il_prof @SupRaLabRome and Laura Baldini

In just 6 months as an intern in our lab at ICIQ, Gabriele delivered this fantastic work—yes, I’m biased, but rightfully so!—now out in @J_A_C_S! 🍒 on top: I got to collaborate again with my mentor @S__DI_STEFANO and friends from Parma. Check it out—you won’t be disappointed!
