Candida auris is an emerging fungus that presents a serious threat to global health. The organism is difficult to identify using conventional biochemical methods. C. auris has also attracted attention because of its reduced susceptibility to azoles, polyenes, and echinocandins, with a few strains even resistant to all three classes of antifungals. In this review paper we discuss the trends in e...

We solve a model of interacting electrons coupled to longitudinal phonons using the density matrix renormalisation group method. The model is parametrised for polyenes. We calculate the ground state, and first excited odd-parity singlet and triplet states; and we investigate their energies, and bond length changes and fluctuations for up to 30 sites. The transition energy and the soliton width ...

Application of a tridentate NHC containing pincer ligand to Pt catalyzed cascade cyclization reactions has allowed for the catalytic, diastereoselective cycloisomerization of biogenic alkene terminated substrates to the their polycyclic counterparts.
