ET encounters jellyfish: Through the incorporation of the metal-chelating amino acid pyTyr into green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jellyfish, photoinduced electron transfer (ET) from the GFP chromophore to a bound Cu II ion was shown to occur within one nanosecond in a distance-dependent manner. The crystal structure of GFP with pyTyr at a specific position shows the structural basis for the nanomolar binding affinity of pyTyr to CuII ions. Copyright

The highly strained bowl-shaped pentacyclic structure of herquline A has rendered it one of the most difficult problems in organic synthesis yet to be solved. The challenges associated with the synthesis of herquline A have been well documented in four Ph.D. dissertations and in multiple reports regarding syntheses of its structurally simpler congeners. Herein, we report the construction of the pentacyclic core of herquline A that contains both N10?C2 and C3?C3′ bonds. The key for success was the development of the tandem aza-Michael addition/enolate capture protocol that set the stage for subsequent palladium catalyzed C3(sp2)?C3′(sp2) coupling reaction. Ensuing oxidative dearomatization of the left aryl ring allowed the formation of the pentacyclic diketone core of herquline A.
Concise Total Synthesis of Herqulines B and C

A simple total synthesis of herqulines B and C is reported, modeled on the reductive biosynthesis reported previously by other researchers. Commencing from tyrosine, these alkaloids were fashioned through a dimerization, macrocyclization, and four consecu
