Large-scale synthesis of delta-cyclodextrin is possible using Enzyme-Mediated Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry with superchaotropic templates. You can read about it in our latest article in JACS.

Sign up for the European Symposium on Organic Chemistry in Copenhagen. 'Early bird' registation ends on April 11th. https://t.co/Wqf1cBlkL7. Prominent speakers include our local 'click-chemistry' expert Professor Morten Meldal (https://t.co/EE2ImV46KK...).
Linking up individual sugar molecules is notoriously hard, which is why enzymes make cyclodextrins, used in skincare products and drugs. It has been impossible to make their mirror-image forms, until now... Story be me, thanks to @sirfrasersays@yongwu1990@BeerenLab

Come and join my lab! I am looking for a PhD student and postdoc to work on my ERC project ENZYME-DCC. We are combining supramolecular chemistry with enzymology to synthesise oligosaccharides. https://t.co/7EfHpsZf8y
I'm looking for two post-docs with expertise in supramolecular and synthetic organic chemistry to join our group working on enzyme-mediated dynamic combinatorial chemistry. You can read about the positions here: https://t.co/ToW75HoHVB
Put a ring on it! I spoke with @aprahamian and @BeerenLab about their work on a cheaper, light-powered gamma-cyclodextrin synthesis (in @cenmag): https://t.co/iMYwZuV7zu
