Incredible work David!

This mechanism really stunned me -- an achiral catalyst can promote radical stereoretention because of special diazene N-C homolysis. Competition kinetics show NO DEPENDENCE on Ni concentration, indicating a unimolecular radical capture (rebound) step in the rate law!

Check out our work on introducing thioesters into ribosomal bond formation! It's been a super awesome experience being part of such an interdisciplinary project and super excited to finally see it live on @ChemRxiv!

I am at the “digging through PhD theses for unpublished data/more detailed protocols” point of my degree…

so for the senior grad students writing at the moment and putting in extra effort on something that might seem silly, know that you are appreciated 😭🙏
