Towards a Total Synthesis of 3,8-Unethoxy-Discombobulne and Discovery of the Furzmeister-Wencke Reagent
3,8-unethoxy-discombobulannulene is a wtfwereyouthin-kingolide-type natural product which was recently isolated from a mould found growing on a cheese omelette in Kent (Fig. 1).
ConTRIVEd: A Novel Method of Protein Quantification
ConTRIVEd allows for the label-free, high-throughput quantification of protein concentration via a click-capable EZ ligand, which can be easily synthesized in 32 steps.
Replication Crisis! Thousands of CLU Studies aren’t repeatable because we don’t have enough Grad Students!
Cranberry Lemon comes under fire due to the inability to replicate thousands of studies. It isn’t the methodology but the lack of free labor.
