Enhancing the usefulness of cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions with a removable protecting group (Publications)
A removable protecting group has been identified that allows the products of widely-used cross dehydrogenative couplings to be synthetically elaborated. The method can be used with enantiopure amines

STAT1-cooperative DNA binding distinguishes type 1 from type 2 interferon signaling (Publications)
STAT1 is an indispensable component of a heterotrimer (ISGF3) and a STAT1 homodimer (GAF) that function as transcription regulators in type 1 and type 2 interferon signaling, respectively. To investig
