Though chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have been banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention, the threat that such chemicals may be used, including their deliberate addition to food, remains. In such matrixes, CWAs may hydrolyze to phosphonic acids, which are good

Here, we report a systematic surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) study of the structures of five N-benzylamino(boronphenyl)-methylphosphonic acids: N-benzylamino-(3-boronphenyl)-S-methylphosphonic acid (m-PhS), N-benzylamino-(4-boronphenyl)-S-methylphosphonic acid (p-PhS), N-benzylamino-(2-boronphenyl)-R-methylphosphonic acid (o-PhR), N-benzylamino-(3-boronphenyl)-R-methyl-phosphonic acid (m-PhR), and N-benzylamino-(4-boronphenyl)-R-methylphosphonic acid (p-PhR) adsorbed on nanometer-sized colloidal particles (20-25 nm).

Water, acting as a rogue nucleophile, can disrupt transesterification steps of important phosphoryl transfer reactions in DNA and RNA. We have unveiled this risk, and identified safeguards instituted against it, during strand cleavage and joining by the tyrosine site-specific recombinase
