Alcohol and Amine Derivatives Guide Position-Selective C-H Functionalization ReactionsFree radical reactions represent an important and versatile class of chemical transformations. Nitrogen-centered radical applications remain underexplored due to the lack of convenient methods for their generation. Recent advances have improved access to nitrogen-centered radicals through photoredox-mediated oxidation of two such directing groups: amides and sulfonamides. Guided by this approach, ...

New Insights into the Seismic Structure of the North American Upper MantleI present new seismic images of the key structural elements of the upper mantle beneath North America. These images are significantly different from all previous studies. Unlike earlier work, we successfully image the cratonic lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), and the 250-km-deep Lehmann discontinuity. We see evidence for plate tectonics in the ...

DNA Origami Tools for Cryo-EMWe have created DNA origami nanostructures to overcome challenges in structure determination of certain small ( under 100 kDa ) proteins and nucleic acids by cryo-electron microscopy. We aimed to use the nanoscale positional control afforded by origami to overcome issues related to particle contrast, preferential orientation, and ...
