Unlocking the potential of hydrogen deuterium exchange via an iterative continuous-flow deuteration process by Kevin Tatoueix, Marco Lepron, Cédric Barboux, Marie-Christine Scherrmann, Grégory Pieters, Sophie Feuillastre

“…Abstract Labelled compounds bearing hydrogen isotopes are keystones in diverse areas constituting a multi-billion dollar global market including drugs, diagnostics, biology, toxicology and smart materials. While hydrogen deuterium exchange (HDE) methods hold promise as relevant tools for the late-stage and one-step preparation of deuterium-labelled compounds, they often fall short in achieving sufficient isotopic purity combined either with a site-selectivity or with a full deuteration process, highlighting the need for further development and optimisation. …”

Feedback and formative assessment—looking backwards to move forward by Nora McCarthy, Karen Neville, Andrew Pope

“…A suggestion is made to re-embrace the original definition components of ‘feedback’, as all of the original parameters of this term, when well established in industry and biology, did not migrate into education. Incorporating the original definition components into the current definition of ‘feedback’ in education circles may negate the need for the term ‘formative assessment’ altogether, which carries with it the inevitable negative connotations associated with the word assessment. …”
