Click-to-release chemistry makes ion pumps suitable for large drugs
5+ day, 10+ hour ago (857+ words) How can a drug be released or activated exactly where and when it is needed in the body? For many treatments, particularly in cancer therapy, the active compound should ideally act only at a specific site. Yet in practice, drugs…...
Scientists discover new way metals bind oxygen, possibly starting "new chapter" in chemistry
6+ day, 8+ hour ago (923+ words) Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that transports oxygen through blood. But iron-oxo compounds, as they're called, are found in many other places throughout…...
