Research Interest
Research interest in our group include: 1) design and synthesis of novel chiral catalyst and their application in development of highly efficient and selective asymmetric reactions. 2) total synthesis of biological natural product, which features design of highly convergent and diversely synthetic route and development of novel target-orientated synthetic methods. 3) development of novel selective protein modification methods and their application in regulation of protein functio
