Our collaborative paper with the http://www.spitalelab.com was accepted for publication in Organic Letters. In the paper, titled “Mutually orthogonal bioconjugation of vinyl nucleosides for RNA metabolic labeling”, John and Srijana used DFT calculations to explain the origin of the observed mutual orthogonality of two reactions used to label vinyl nucleosides: one based on a Diels-Alder reaction with maleimide and the other based on a phospha-Michael addition reaction with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP).
