Addition of Metalloid Hydrides to Alkynes: Hydrometallation with Boron, Silicon, and Tin
This review covers the synthesis of isolabile vinylmetalloids through hydroboration, hydrosilylation, and hydrostannation, with special focus on recent developments, metal-catalyzed reactions, and…
Structure-selective modification of aromatic side chains with dirhodium metallopeptide catalysts.
The combination of peptide molecular recognition and residue-selective dirhodium catalysis allows modification of aromatic side chains that is selective for coil structures and creates the first selective chemical modification of the phenylalanine residue.

Analysis of the library indicates that the i-1 and i+3 positions of nonapeptides have the most significant effect on enantioselectivity, though the structural basis for selectivity is different at each of the positions.
Sequence-specific inhibition of a designed metallopeptide catalyst.
It is demonstrated that designed metallopeptide catalysts can be inhibited in a sequence-specific manner, mimicking the inhibition and regulation of natural enzymes.
