Abstract
Short chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) constitute a large protein family. The SDR family now includes more than 1,000 enzymes from humans, mammals, insects and bacteria, and exhibits a wide variety of substrate specificity for steroids, retinoids, prostaglandins, sugars, alcohols and other small molecules. These enzymes have a residue identity level of 15-30 perent. Much has been done in the last decade to understand the structure function relationships in the SDR enzymes. This review summarizes recent progress of structural and functional studies of the enzymes belonging to the SDR family (X ray crystal structure analyses and site directed mutagenesis studies). Based on these studies, the three dimensional structure, catalytic mechanism, coenzyme specificity, and substrate specificity of the SDR enzymes are discussed.

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
