Large-scale synthesis of delta-cyclodextrin is possible using Enzyme-Mediated Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry with superchaotropic templates. You can read about it in our latest article in JACS. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Sign up for the European Symposium on Organic Chemistry in Copenhagen. 'Early bird' registation ends on April 11th. esoc2025.com. Prominent speakers include our local 'click-chemistry' expert Professor Morten Meldal (researchprofiles.ku.dk/en/persons/m...).

Linking up individual sugar molecules is notoriously hard, which is why enzymes make cyclodextrins, used in skincare products and drugs. It has been impossible to make their mirror-image forms, until now... Story be me, thanks to @sirfrasersays @yongwu1990 @BeerenLab

@YongWu1990 @NatureSynthesis @sirfrasersays Thanks Dr Wu. Congratulations on your excellent work!

Special thanks go to Professor @BeerenLab for this News & Views piece in @NatureSynthesis . It's very well written and I have enjoyed reading it! @sirfrasersays

For those who are into the history of chemical compounds here is a summary of a few of synthesis-related milestones for cyclodextrins produced by @YongWu1990. @HKUniversity @NorthwesternU @NUChemistry @UTArlington

Come and join my team! PhD and Postdoc positions available. We are looking for organic and supramolecular chemists to explore new ways of using enzymes for chemical synthesis of carbohydrates. efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

See how we can make the large-ring cyclodextrin formed from 9-glucose units in JACS this week! Templated Enzymatic Synthesis of δ-Cyclodextrin pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Come and join my lab! I am looking for a PhD student and postdoc to work on my ERC project ENZYME-DCC. We are combining supramolecular chemistry with enzymology to synthesise oligosaccharides. efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

I'm looking for two post-docs with expertise in supramolecular and synthetic organic chemistry to join our group working on enzyme-mediated dynamic combinatorial chemistry. You can read about the positions here: dtu.dk/english/about/…

Our collaboration with @aprahamian got a write-up in Chemistry World too!

Our paper together with @aprahamian in @Chem_CP (bit.ly/3cZVRZ9) written about in a Dutch Newspaper! nrc.nl/nieuws/2021/06…

Put a ring on it! I spoke with @aprahamian and @BeerenLab about their work on a cheaper, light-powered gamma-cyclodextrin synthesis (in @cenmag): cen.acs.org/synthesis/Taki…

Just out in @Chem_CP! Photoswitch control of g-CD production!!! Great collaboration between @aprahamian and @BeerenLab, proud to have been part of it.

My latest publication was mentioned in @cenmag! So cool. Great collaboration between @aprahamian and @BeerenLab. cen.acs.org/synthesis/Taki…

Two PhD Scholarships and one Post-Doctoral Position available in Supramolecular Chemistry from September 2020. @BeerenLab @ChemistryDtu @DTUtweet
