Method expands options for making pure batches of ‘one-handed’ molecules.
Crucial steps and surprising structures revealed in the genesis of the enzyme that divides the DNA double helix during cell replication.
Scientists have found how the electric fish evolved its jolt.
Stanley Miller, the chemist whose landmark experiment published in 1953 showed how some of the molecules of life could have formed on a young Earth, left behind boxes of experimental samples that he never analyzed. The first-ever analysis of some of Miller’s old samples has revealed another way that important molecules could have formed on early Earth.
Researchers find a small molecule that predicts treatment response for depressed patients
Researchers have created a new type of "ultracold" molecule, using lasers to cool atoms nearly to absolute zero and then gluing them together, a technology that might be applied to quantum computing, precise sensors and advanced simulations.
For years, researchers have worked to develop novel molecules for therapeutic or research purposes, and have relied on directed evolution as a powerful technique for generating molecules that exhibit the properties they want.
Tulane University chemistry professor Igor Rubtsov and a team of graduate students can lay claim to inventing an important new scientific instrument — the world’s first fully automated dual-frequency, two-dimensional infrared spectrometer.
