Chemists have synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a new strategy of functionalizing normally inert carbon-hydrogen (C-H). The journal Science has published the breakthrough. Led by ...
Collections of small molecules are used routinely in high-throughput screens to find new drug leads. In fact, from 1999 to 2008, 45 of the 50 Food and Drug Administration approvals for first-in-class ...
Using robots and click chemistry, scientists built potential active ingredients for future antibiotics that contain metal.
A 17-year-long intense competition to synthesize a fascinatingly weird and complex compound has finally ended. The first 25-step process for building the compound, Palau'amine, out of molecular ...
A laboratory experiment at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., simulating the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan suggests complex organic chemistry that could eventually lead to the ...
Chemists break down barriers between labs and institutions to join forces for a new way of doing organic synthesis. Chemists synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a revolutionary ...
