The activation of C-F bonds figures largely in both fundamental and applied chemical processes. Herein the activation of benzyl C-F bonds by silyl cations is examined both computationally and experimentally...

A-to-I RNA editing is widespread in human cells but is uncommon in the coding regions of proteins outside the nervous system. An unusual target for recoding by the adenosine deaminase...

Hydricity is of great import as hydride transfer reactions are prominent in many processes, including organic synthesis, photoelectrocatalysis, and hydrogen activation. Herein, the kinetic hydricity of a series of silanes...

The gas-phase acidity and proton affinity (PA) of 5-halouracils (5-fluorouracil, 5-chlorouracil, 5-bromouracil, and 5-iodouracil) have been examined using both theoretical and experimental methods. This work represents a comprehensive study of...

The DNA glycosylase MutY prevents deleterious mutations resulting from guanine oxidation by recognition and removal of adenine (A) misincorporated opposite 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG). Correct identification of OG:A is crucial to prevent...

Herein, gas phase studies of the kinetic hydricity of a series of silane hydrides are described. An understanding of hydricity is important as hydride reactions figure largely in many processes,...
