Denton’s redox-neutral catalytic Mitsunobu reaction is remarkable in that it translates a reaction traditionally driven by the consumption of sacrificial chemical reagents to an additive-free catalytic manifold. Rational attempts to improve the syste...

Membrane Transport, Molecular Machines, and Maxwell's Demon (2024)
Journal Article
Borsley, S. (2024). Membrane Transport, Molecular Machines, and Maxwell's Demon. ChemSystemsChem, 6(3), Article e202400004. https://doi.org/10.1002/syst.202400004

The spontaneous generation of transmembrane gradients is an important fundamental research goal for artificial nanotechnology. The active transport processes that give rise to such gradients directly mirror the famous Maxwell's Demon thought experime...
