Non-natural photoenzymatic reactions reported to date have depended on the excitation of electron donor-acceptor complexes formed between substrates and cofactors within protein active sites to facilitate electron transfer. While this mechanism has unlocked new reactivity, it limits the types of substrates that can be involved in this area of catalysis. Here we demonstrate that direct excitation of flavin hydroquinone within "ene"-reductase active sites enables new substrates to participate in photoenzymatic reactions. We found that by using photoexcitation these enzymes gain the ability to reduce acrylamides through a single electron transfer mechanism.

A novel series of AMPAR positive modulators is described that were identified by high throughput screening. The molecules of the series have been optimized from a high quality starting point hit to afford excellent developability, tolerability, and effica
