Chemists develop chiral DNA catalysts for asymmetric catalysis

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a way to make diverse chiral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) catalysts by merging DNA repair with biorthogonal chemistry, paving the way for more efficient ...

A look into 'mirror molecules' may lead to new medicines

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 "mirror molecules" found ...

Review discusses performance of bio-based foams

As the world grapples with the environmental consequences of plastic waste, researchers from China and Canada have shed light on the burgeoning field of bio-based foams. In a recent review article published in the Journal ...

Review explores chestnut tannin's role in bioeconomy

The bioeconomy is witnessing a revival of interest in chestnut tannin, a compound extracted from chestnut tree bark or wood, thanks to its versatile applications and environmentally friendly nature. A recent review article ...

New molecule can mimic the effects of fasting and exercise

It is well known that regular exercise and periodic fasting have a series of positive effects on the body. Exercise and skipping meals makes for a stronger heart and reduces fat levels in the blood. The explanation lies in ...
