Researchers from NUS have pioneered a photocatalytic atom-swapping transformation that converts oxetanes into a variety of four-membered saturated cyclic molecules, which are key scaffolds in ...
Researchers say they can now produce a vast library of unique cyclic compounds, some with the capacity to interrupt specific protein-protein interactions that play a role in disease. The new compounds ...
Giant molecular rings that mimic the puckered shapes of cyclobutane, cyclopentane and cyclohexane could offer new insights ...
Photochemistry provides a pathway to swap the oxygen atom in oxetane rings with nitrogen, carbon or sulfur at a single stroke ...
What is a mechanically interlocked molecule (MIM) and how have they advanced our understanding of chemistry? A mechanically interlocked molecule is one that contains a mechanical bond. A mechanical ...
The entire biosynthetic pathway of actinopyridazone has been unveiled, revealing that an unprecedented carrier protein-mediated ring-forming step is key to its synthesis. The entire biosynthetic ...
Peptide pheromone cell–cell signaling (quorum sensing) regulates the expression of diverse developmental phenotypes (including virulence) in Firmicutes, which includes common human pathogens, e.g., ...
Successful reduction of the chemical manufacturing industry’s environmental impact relies on finding a greener way to make the chemical building blocks for common and massively consumed compounds.
