Optimizing phosphate couplings for dolichyl diphosphochitobiose to enable protein N-glycosylation studies

Optimizing phosphate couplings for dolichyl diphosphochitobiose to enable protein N-glycosylation studies

Check out our latest paper Optimizing phosphate couplings for dolichyl diphosphochitobiose to enable protein N-glycosylation studies in HELVETICA! Abstract Herein we report an optimized synthesis for dolichyl diphosphochitobiose (GlcNAc2-PP-Dol25), a probe useful for biochemical and structural studies ofprotein N-glycosylation in eukaryotic cells. We improved three phosphate coupling steps in terms

Multistep retrosynthesis combining a disconnection aware triple transformer loop with a route penalty score guided tree search

Check out our latest paper Multistep retrosynthesis combining a disconnection aware triple transformer loop with a route penalty score guided tree search in Chemical Science! Abstract Computer-aided synthesis planning (CASP) aims to automatically learn organic reactivity from literature and perform retrosynthesis of unseen molecules. CASP systems must learn reactions sufficiently
