The development of multicomponent reactions (MCR) is the prefered eco-compatible approach to sophisticated molecules of pharmaceutical interest, such as amidines. We elaborated a new MCR to amidines which produces them i...
-
We describe an aptamer-based sensing approach that signals the presence of small-molecule targets when fluorescent DNA probes are challenged with the Ni2+ or Co2+ quencher metal ions. Functional oligonucleotides targetin...

Surface nanopatterning with self-assembled molecules has gained in interest over the last years because of its usefullness in nanotechnology. In here, the natural abilities of a protein to self-assemble in a honeycomb st...
-
Bicyclic compounds bearing a quaternary stereogenic center have been obtained using asymmetric intramolecular Buchner reaction with excellent yields and level of enantioselectivity. X-ray crystallography determination of...
-
We have developed an enzymatic process that achieves high performance towards the reversible electrochemical CO2-to-CO conversion under mild conditions with low overvoltage. Using an engineered Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogen...

This publication reports the unprecedented reactivity of a molecular electrocatalyst physiadsorbed on a graphite electrode: a bioinspired Ni(II)Fe(II) complex selectively and catalytically reduces CO2 in acidic aqueous s...
-
In targeted DNP, polarizing agents are localized at specific sites of the biomolecular system allowing the development of NMR approaches to improve sensitivity, background suppression for in-cell NMR, access to long-rang...
