Top 5 from Germany in OBC
As part of OBC's fifth birthday celebrations, we are producing some Top 5 features to celebrate some of the best work published so far in the journal.
This feature looks at the best work of German authors. Take a look below.

Top Perspectives
In this first Perspective article Stefan Brase and Henning Vogt provide a detailed overview of recent developments in approaches towards the asymmetric synthesis of alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino acids.
Recent approaches towards the asymmetric synthesis of 
,-disubstituted -amino acids
Henning Vogt and Stefan Bräse, Org. Biomol. Chem., 2007, 5, 406
DOI: 10.1039/b611091f
This second Perspective from Herbert Waldmann and colleagues focuses on the methods for semi-synthesis and structure elucidation of prenylated RabGTPases. Rab (Ras gene from rat brain) proteins have been identified as key regulators of intracellular vesicular transport both in to and out of eukaryotic cells.
Chemical biology of protein lipidation: semi-synthesis and structure elucidation of prenylated RabGTPases
Anja Watzke, Luc Brunsveld, Thomas Durek, Kirill Alexandrov, Alexey Rak, Roger S. Goody and Herbert Waldmann, Org. Biomol. Chem., 2005, 3, 1157
DOI: 10.1039/b417573e
Top Emerging Areas
This very popular Emerging Area, by Ben List and Jayasree Seayad, summarises the latest research from the rapidly developing field of asymmetric organocatalysis.
Asymmetric organocatalysis
Jayasree Seayad and Benjamin List, Org. Biomol. Chem., 2005, 3, 719
DOI: 10.1039/b415217b
Another approach to catalysis is given in the Emerging Area by Anja Hoffmann-Röder and Norbert Krause, who present the use of gold in homogenous catalysis and highlight some of the many achievements in this field to date.
