The anomalously large chiroptical response of (1R,4R)‐norbornenone has been probed under
complementary vapor‐phase and solution‐phase conditions to assess the putative roles …

Archaeal pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetases (PylRSs) have been used to genetically encode over
200 distinct noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) in proteins in Escherichia coli and …

Measurements and calculations of specific rotation are indispensable for the characterization
of chiral molecules and are now performed routinely. However, the factors that determine …

Reverse turns are solvent-exposed motifs in proteins that are crucial in nucleating β-sheets
and drive the protein folding. The solvent-exposed nature makes reverse turns more …

The optical rotatory dispersion of two monocyclic ketones, (R)-3-methylcyclopentanone [R-3MCP]
and (R)-3-methylcyclohexanone [R-3MCH], has been investigated under isolated and …

The specific rotation for two isomeric members of the terpene family, (S)-(+)-2-carene and (S)-(+)-3-carene,
has been investigated under complementary solvated and isolated conditions…

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection represents a major health threat to global population.
In India, approximately 15–20% of cases of chronic liver diseases are caused by HCV …

There is a lack of functional group diversity in the reverse turn motifs nucleating a β-sheet
conformation in designed peptides, proteins and foldamers. The majority of these sequences …

Incorporation of more than one noncanonical amino acid (ncAA) within a single protein
endows the resulting construct with multiple useful features such as augmented molecular …

2-(⁠ 2′-pyridyl) benzimidazole (2PBI) undergoes excited state proton transfer (ESPT) in
acidic solutions, leading to a tautomer emission at 460 nm. This photoprocess has been …
