Abstract
Proteins that bind and stabilize single-stranded DNA are critical for proper DNA metabolism. In eukaryotes, the major single-stranded DNA-binding protein is replication protein A (RPA), an evolutionarily conserved heterotrimeric complex required for DNA replication, repair, and recombination. While much of the early work on RPA established its role in DNA replication, a great deal of attention is now being paid to the specific mechanisms by which RPA operates in recombination. As described in this review, significant insight has been gained from studies employing proteins purified from both yeast and human cells. Of particular importance, these analyses have revealed that RPA is centrally involved in the initiation of homologous recombination. Research into recombination and its influence by RPA is especially relevant to our understanding of disease development, as inappropriate chromosomal rearrangement is known to be associated with a number of human disorders.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
Electrochemical C-X bond formation
Conventional methods for carrying out carbon–X bond formation are typically conducted at harsh reaction conditions, and rely on expensive catalysts as well as the use of stoichiometric, and perhaps toxic, oxidants. In this regard, electrochemical synthesis has recently been recognized as a sustainable and scalable strategy for the construction of ...read more
