Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...

Nearly three decades ago, scientists found that a pair of molecules in rye pollen exhibited an unusual ability to slow tumor ...

Just like our hands, certain organic molecules relate to each other like an image and its reflection -- a phenomenon that chemists call "chirality" or "handedness." The two mirror images of the same ...

Every medication in your cabinet, every material in your phone's battery, and virtually every compound that makes modern life work started as a molecular guess, with scientists hypothesizing that a ...

As biological data volume continues to grow, sequence-based AI is poised to become the dominant discovery layer across pharma ...

An international research team has succeeded in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team also succeeded in synthesizing highly reactive diradicals ...

"ROCK is breaking the current limits of RNA structural investigations and enables 3D structures of RNA molecules to be unlocked that are difficult or impossible to access with existing methods, and at ...

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water, it no longer acts like an ordinary liquid. Instead ...

Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Efforts to build a better digital “nose” suggest that our perception of scents reflects both the structure of aromatic molecules and the metabolic processes that make them. Alex Wiltschko began ...
