Mohsen Mahmoodi's paper on NDBF thiol protection accepted in JACS

Graduate student Mohsen Mahmoodi's paper titled "Nitrodibenzofuran: a One- and Two-Photon Sensitive Protecting Group that is Superior to Brominated Hydroxycoumarin for Thiol Caging in Peptides" was accepted in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.  This manuscript describes the use of NDBF protection for thiols to allow one- and two photon uncaging of peptides to be performed in vitro and in live cells.  This allows thiol mediated events to be rapidly triggered with high efficiency.
