Great job @heui_beom, Nick, and the @rdavbritt and MTG crews!

Happy holidays
Check out our latest collaborative efforts with the @rdavbritt and MTGreen labs to investigate dioxygen activation by a trinuclear iron compound. Great job HB, Nick and team!

Start your week off with a little manganese. @rdavbritt

Here Sarah, Chang and George report a new family of diiron hydroxylases that function on diterpenoids found throughout the biosphere. (?/?)

...maybe something that works on this stuff youtu.be/8qgYVpqY11c?si=lVtV… (2/?)
We should discover an enzyme that organic chemists care about... @SarpongGroup @MaimoneGroup (1/?)
We've got something for everyone here: bioinformatics, enzymology, crystallography, spectroscopy, and of course, manganese. Great work Chang, Magan, and Guodong! @rdavbritt chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…
The second chapter of our Chromium chemistry can be read here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…
An exceedingly rare example of a 4-electron oxidative addition. Great job Paul!
Our next exploration into reactive phosphinimide transition metal complexes is a mononuclear Cr(II) complex capable of multielectron reductions of a variety of small molecules. Check it out here! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv… @ChuckCWinslow

We report here the first Mn-dependent hydroxylase known in biology. Lots of really fun crystallography and spectroscopy in there. More Mn enzymes will follow. But for now:
Well done, Magan Powell.
(3/4) The absence of natural manganese-dependent hydroxylases implies that this metal ion is either not competent to activate C-H bonds, or that such enzymes have eluded discovery. @borovik_lab @Goldberg_Lab
