Diabetes mellitus, simply called diabetes, is a metabolic disorder characterized by the presence of abnormally high concentrations of glucose in blood. Existing methods for the diagnosis of diabetes rely on traditional techniques ...
As one of the basic physical properties, chirality plays an important role in many fields. Especially in biomedical chemistry, the discrimination of enantiomers is a very important research subject. Most biomolecules exhibit ...
Organic chemists at UCLA have created the first synthetic version of a molecule recently discovered in a sea sponge that may have therapeutic benefits for Parkinson's disease and similar disorders. The molecule, known as ...
In a recent study, researchers at Freie Universit盲t Berlin, the DESY research center in Hamburg, Kiel University, and Kansas State University have shown how light can turn a planar molecule into a chiral molecule with just ...
It was believed that it was impossible to differentiate the enantiomers of a chiral molecule using helical light beams鈥攗ntil now that is, thanks to a group of uOttawa researchers.
In a paper just published in ACS Catalysis, the Biocatalysis research group at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Synthesis presents a versatile method for the synthesis of primary, secondary, ...
Chirality is essential for life, which can be observed in biological systems hierarchically from the molecular level to macromolecules and higher ordered nanostructures, such as 3D enzymes and micrometer cell membranes. Chirality ...
NUS chemists have developed an effective method to access enantioenriched drug-like compounds through multicomponent olefin cross-coupling using chiral nickel-based catalysts.
Stereochemistry, or the study of spatial arrangements of the atoms in a molecule, is a highly explored subdiscipline of organic chemistry. It has led to the synthesis of numerous chiral compounds鈥攃ompounds with non-superimposable ...
The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center (CCDC) today highlights that a search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has found nearly 1,800 conglomerate crystal structures鈥攎olecules that have spontaneously enriched ...
