Controlled Enantioselective Orientation of Chairal Molecules with an Optical Centrifuge

Enantioselective Orientation of chairal molecules with the help of Optical centrifuge causes the unidirectional rotation of the most polarizable molecular axis and gives rise to an orienting torque. This leads to molecular orientation depending on the handedness of the chairal molecule. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.223201

A natural solution to photoprotection and isolation of the potent polyene antibiotic, marinomycin A

Marinomycin A, though a bioactive molecule, does not qualify to be a drug molecule because of its extreme light sensitivity. This hurdle can be overcome by encapsulating the molecule within the sporopollenin exine capsule derived from Lycopodium clavatum. DOI: 10.1039/c9sc01375j
