摘要:Naturally occurring (native) sugars and carbohydrates contain numerous hydroxyl groups of similar reactivity 1,2 . Chemists, therefore, rely typically on laborious, multi-step protecting-group strategies 3 to convert these renewable feedstocks into reagents (glycosyl donors) to make glycans. The direct transformation of native sugars to complex saccharides remains a notable challenge. Here we describe a photoinduced approach to achieve site- and stereoselective chemical glycosylation from wide...

摘要:The initial rise of molecular oxygen (O-2) shortly after the Archaean-Proterozoic transition 2.5 billion years ago was more complex than the single step-change once envisioned. Sulfur mass-independent fractionation records suggest that the rise of atmospheric O-2 was oscillatory, with multiple returns to an anoxic state until perhaps 2.2 billion years ago(1-3). Yet few constraints exist for contemporaneous marine oxygenation dynamics, precluding a holistic understanding of planetary oxygenatio...

摘要:Black holes have been found over a wide range of masses, from stellar remnants with masses of 5-150 solar masses (M-circle dot), to those found at the centres of galaxies with M > 10(5)M(circle dot). However, only a few debated candidate black holes exist between 150M(circle dot) and 10(5)M(circle dot). Determining the population of these intermediate-mass black holes is an important step towards understanding supermassive black hole formation in the early universe(1,2). Several studies have c...

摘要:Insect respiration is commonly thought to rely solely on direct gas exchange through air-filled tracheal tubes. The discovery of oxygen-transporting blood cells in fly larvae reveals a previously unknown way to oxygenate fly tissues.
