Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for forming dicarba bridges in organic compounds. This involves the use of a pair of complementary metathesisable groups on the organic compound, and subjecting the compound to cross-metathesis under microwave radiation conditions. In an alternative, the compounds contain a turn-inducing group between the pair of cross-metathesisable groups to facilitate the cross-metathesis.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a range of new conotoxin derivatives and methods for synthesizing these analogues and other intramolecular dicarba bridge-containing peptides, including dicarba-disulfide bridge-containing peptides.
Abstract: A dicarba analogue of insulin comprising an A-chain and a B-chain or fragments, salts, solvates, derivatives, isomers or tautomers of the A-chain, the B-chain or both, provided that the dicarba analogue is not [A7,B7-(2,7-diaminosuberoyl]-des-(B26-B30)-insulin B25-amide.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a controlled metathesis-driven polymerization process which is particularly useful for the synthesis of biological polymers such as peptides and polymers. The invention also provides metathesisable supports, groups and linkers for use in the process.
Abstract: A method, system and device for facilitating the retrieval of a marine anchor from an underwater obstruction, the device being configured to actuate when subjected to a force load of a predetermined peak force threshold to effect a change in the point of retrieval that an anchor rode makes with the anchor. The obstructed anchor may be retrieved from another direction, such as a direction opposite from which the anchor was set.
