I am thrilled to share the latest work of my PhD. In @NatureCatalysis we report a biocatalytic methodology for the construction of lactams. In collaboration with the Houk group we investigated the mechanism and enantiodeterming step of the reaction. nature.com/articles/s4192…

Highly stereoselective synthesis of allylic β-lactams via enzymatic C(sp3)–H amidation pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Delighted to share our publication in @NatureComms on the computational design of generalist carbene transferases with tailored, stereodivergent selectivity! Great collab with Sagar Khare! Kudos to Zhuofan, Mary, and Xinkun and all other coauthors! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Ohio hate to see us coming
