Abstract
In a recent article published in Nature, Melchiorre and coworkers illuminated enzymatic iminium ions formed through the condensation of 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase with enals, triggering photodecarboxylication in the active site, and enabling photoenzymatic stereospecific radical coupling. This elegant work broadens the reactivity of enzymes and achieves a “memory of chirality” scenario.
