The molecular structure of an enzyme from a marine bacterium with potential industrial uses has been determined by RIKEN ...

When light hits certain molecules, it dislodges electrons that then move from one location to another, creating areas of positive and negative charge. This 'charge transfer' is highly important in ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, a team of chemists has unveiled a radically simple way to attach a highly sought-after "molecular handle," known as the dichloromethyl group, onto ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have successfully synthesized bacteriochlorophyll a, which is a ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Chemists have calculated the structure of a very unusual molecule, one whose hyperactive atoms have earned it the nickname “the scrambler.” This highly caustic “protonated methane,” ...

A team at the Center for Research in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials (CiQUS) at the University of Santiago de Compostela has developed a more flexible chemical strategy to create ...

When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched ...

Antibiotic pollution in water is a growing global concern, as residues from human medicine, livestock production, and aquaculture can persist in the environment and contribute to the spread of ...

Beyond the rather low efficiency of today’s solar panels in converting the power of the sun into electricity, the ...
