Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 22 different amino acids and they can combine in a myriad ways to form a vast array of proteins. All amino acids except glycine are chiral molecules, meaning they ...
Certain molecules do exist in two forms which are symmetrical mirror images of each other: they are known as chiral molecules. On Earth, the chiral molecules of life, especially amino acids and sugars, exist in only one form, ...
Researchers at the Department of Chemistry and Nanoscience Center of the University of Jyvaskyla (Finland) have resolved the structural, electronic and optical properties of a chiral gold nanocluster that remained a mystery ...
Engineers are unlikely to tinker with the cooling system if they want to increase the size of an engine. Yet chemists at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research have adopted an approach similar to this in their efforts ...
(麻豆淫院Org.com) -- In the binding pockets of enzymes their natural binding partners fit exactly. The principle by which many pharmacological agents work also relies on the fact that these substances fit exactly into the pockets ...
(麻豆淫院Org.com) -- In a paper to appear in the journal 鈥淣aturwissenschaften,鈥� Stevens Institute of Technology Professor Athula Attygalle and his research student, Xiaogang Wu, report for the first time that some ground ...
(麻豆淫院Org.com) -- A simple and reliable method for converting one of the simplest chemical entities into one of the most difficult-to-make molecular building blocks of life, with complete control over its shape, is reported ...
A chance discovery by a team of scientists using optical probes means that changes in cells in the human body could now be seen in a completely different light.
With a newly discovered method of assembling organic molecules, a team of Princeton University chemists may have found a way to sidestep many of the expensive and hazardous barriers that stand in the way of drug development.
A University of Arkansas researcher has received a grant to study the dynamics of synthesizing molecules with the same "handedness."
