The details are in the paper, the liquid is mostly one of the copper or iron dyes, which change conformation and provide electrons when lit with sun. There are ones for red spectrum, another for green and yet another for blue, depending on what you want to make.
The other part is substrates for the catalyzed reaction.
They showed making an antimalarial drug among others, which is expensive now and hard to make in GMO due to toxicity.
- appleshore 7y agoCould you explain if something basic like tryptophan was used, could it be converted to DMT? Or would it only be able to extract DMT from a liquid with the alkaloid already in it?
- AstralStorm 7y agoNo idea, they used different substrates than DMT or tryptophan, managed to pull off morpholine arylation which is new, and the other reactions at much higher efficiency than previously achieved with solar activated reactions - trifluoromethylation, metalloredox and photooxidation were done too. What they made that was medicinally useful was artemisinin, an antimalarial. In continuous photooxidation reaction.
