Middle molecules with a molecular weight of more than 1,000 are difficult to synthesize due to multiple steps and time-consuming nature, demanding the development of a new approach that can overcome ...

Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the ...

Nearly 30 years ago, scientists discovered a unique class of anticancer molecules in a family of bryozoans, a phylum of marine invertebrates found in tropical waters. The chemical structures of these ...

The correct functioning of cells relies heavily on the ability to finely control gene expression, a complex process by which the information contained in DNA is copied into RNA to eventually give rise ...

A scientific team including researchers from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) says it has made a significant advance against superbugs and their resistance to multiple drugs. The group ...

Oral administration of small molecules has become increasingly difficult due to a majority of new candidates demonstrating poor aqueous solubility. The bioavailability hurdle is made more challenging ...

Researchers have found they can use a macroscopic brute force to impose and induce a twist in an otherwise non-chiral molecule. Molecules that are twisted are ubiquitous in nature, and have important ...

For many of the 200,000 patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the United States every year, the diagnosis often occurs only after the appearance of severe symptoms such as tremors or speech ...
