Advances in producing the anti-HIV compound Lancilactone C

In a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, researchers appear to have discovered a way to produce a true structure of the rare but naturally-occurring anti-HIV compound Lancilactone C from start ...

Detection of bacteria and viruses with fluorescent nanotubes

An interdisciplinary research team from Bochum, Duisburg and Zurich has developed a new approach to construct modular optical sensors which are capable of detecting viruses and bacteria. The researchers used fluorescent carbon ...

Researchers develop new method to study RNA-drug interactions

How active compounds affect RNA and thus the expression of genes is of great interest for the development of potential therapeutics. Innsbruck chemists have now used a method they recently developed to study the binding of ...

New stapling method solves floppy peptide problem

In a cutting-edge discovery, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Florey scientists have solved a long-standing problem: the need for an affordable, simple way to make peptide-based drugs that hold their ...
