Abstract
The serine / threonine phosphatases are inhibited by a variety of natural toxins, including the microcystins and nodularins. Progress in understanding the details of the biosynthetic origin and the binding of these compounds is discussed, as is the progress made in synthesizing the members of these families. Additionally, the work by several groups to either synthesize simplified analogues that are still potent, or introduce selectivity for PP1 over PP2A are discussed. Finally, the properties of a series of five new truncated analogues are examined.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
