The FAIR principles have been widely cited, endorsed and adopted by a broad range of stakeholders since their publication in 2016. By intention, the 15 guiding do not dictate specific technological implementations, but provide guidance for improving Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability Reusability digital resources. This has likely contributed to adoption principles, because individual stakeholder communities can implement own solutions. However, it also resulted inconsistent...

Amide-based organic cage cavities are, in principle, ideal enzyme active site mimics. Yet, cage-promoted organocatalysis has remained elusive, large part due to synthetic accessibility of robust and functional scaffolds. Herein, we report the acyl transfer catalysis properties robust, hexaamide cages solvent. Cage structural variation reveals that esterification with an anhydride carrier occurs only bifunctional featuring internal pyridine motifs two crucial antipodal carboxylic acid groups....
