Designing better catalysts for cleaner, more efficient chemistry

Designing better catalysts for cleaner, more efficient chemistry9+ hour, 44+ min ago   (153+ words) Some catalytically active materials are highly dynamic," Scott said, It seems to be something every generation of researchers rediscovers. The reason the next generation overlooks it and then finds it again is that atom mobility can be very difficult to…...

New catalysis method can generate a library of novel molecules for drug discovery

New catalysis method can generate a library of novel molecules for drug discovery4+ mon, 1+ week ago   (132+ words) This research was supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Underpinning these biologically active compounds is the carbon-carbon bond, the backbone of all organic chemistry, holding together biomolecules like proteins and DNA. Understanding…...
