Hideko Koshima and co-workers from Ehime University have reported in JOC on an asymmetric photocyclization of crystals to form chiral cyclobutenols using a chiral counterion.

Peloruside vs. Taxol

Michel Steinmetz and co-workers from Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland have reported in ACIE on a crystal structure of peloruside bound to beta-tubulin. Interestingly, peloruside and taxol bind to beta-tubulin differently.
