Palladium goes live: Palladium-mediated carbon–carbon bond formation plays a revolutionary role in advancing organic synthesis. Recently developed biocompatible Pd catalysts have now allowed some of these reactions, such as Suzuki–Miyaura and copper-free Sonogashira cross coupling, to be performed on proteins in living E. coli cells.
