I'm teaching lego MO diagrams today! Exciting initiative developed by Dr Schnepp and PhD student Isabelle - tactile teaching for different learning styles and visually impaired students. Our talented year 1 students @uobchemistry.bsky.social had lots of fun playing... here they've set up N2 minus.

We bind supramolecular helicates to DNA junctions as lock-and-key and now induced-fit too! Exploring how a helicate's size, shape and symmetry affect structures of #DNAjunctions @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Congratulations Sam, Hugo and Sumit @uobchemistry.bsky.social

What happens when a DNA-junction binding compound is lengthened? Intriguingly, the larger pi surfaces widen the range of junctions targeted! Just out in JBIC -congratulations to authors Sam and Hannah -first paper from her MSc by research studies @uobchemistry.bsky.social doi.org/10.1007/s007...
