A University of Texas at Dallas chemist and his colleagues have developed a new chemical reaction that will allow researchers to synthesize selectively the left-handed or right-handed versions of “mir ...

A team of chemists at the University of Cambridge has developed a metal-free way to convert symmetrical diols selectively ...

The vast majority of organic molecules (based on a carbon structure) are not flat, but have a three-dimensional geometry.

Nearly 56% of all modern drugs and medicine are chiral in nature, and about 90% of those are a mixture containing equal amounts of two enantiomers of a chiral compound. Researchers often face the ...

The results are important, because while the left- and right-handed versions (enantiomers) of chemical compounds have identical chemical properties, they differ in how they react in the human body.

The results are important because, while the left- and right-handed versions, or enantiomers, of chemical compounds have identical chemical properties, they differ in how they react in the human body.

Mar. 6, 2023 — The ability to distinguish two chiral enantiomers is an essential analytical capability for chemical industries including pharmaceutical companies, flavor/odor engineering and ...

The authors follow up on a prior paper in which they showed that beta1 adrenergic receptors contributed to the pathogenesis of cavernous malformations. In the prior work, they used morpholinos and ...
