Chemists have used visible light and extremely tiny nanoparticles to quickly and simply make molecules that are of the same class as many lead compounds for drug development. Driven by light, the ...

(Nanowerk News) Professor Jeffrey Bode of ETH-Zürich and the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) of Nagoya University, and his co-worker have established a new strategy called "synthetic ...

In a recent Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids study, researchers demonstrate enhanced loss-of-function editing of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated ...

Chemists have found a simple way to produce previously inaccessible chiral Z-alkenes, molecules that offer a significant synthetic short-cut for the production of bioactive molecules. Instead of eight ...

Lignin—a tough, mixed polymer found in plant cell walls—is nature’s most abundant stockpile of aromatic functional groups. Because of this, lignin’s rich natural complexity could be a well of new ...

Researchers at the University of Granada have revealed that the Nutri-Score labeling system, commonly used in Europe to ...

Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Actionable insights into research ...

Using strands of DNA and messenger RNA that are the same length could aid the search for new drugs Figure 1: Illustration of a ribosome (center) producing a protein (red) from a messenger RNA (mRNA).

Natural sunscreens shield the skin from harmful radiation, without triggering allergic reactions. In a recently published study, a group of researchers has discovered a novel compound, β-glucose-bound ...

Chemists at ETH-Zürich and ITbM, Nagoya University have developed a new method to build large libraries of bioactive molecules – which can be used directly for biological assays – by simply mixing a ...
