Newly discovered enzymes that are vital for bacterial defenses can also help chemists characterize the stereochemistry in natural products. The enzymes cut proteins between unusual amino acids, ...

A team from the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Hokkaido University, and Osaka University has discovered that subtle differences in molecular structure can have a major impact on the ...

Automated reaction path search method predicts accurate stereochemistry of pericyclic reactions using only target molecule structure. Automated reaction path search method predicts accurate ...

The annual Bürgenstock conference brings together a select band of chemists to talk about the many different facets of stereochemistry, and the unique format of the meeting encourages plenty of ...

When chemists at the University of Bristol set out to make a pair of natural products with antimicrobial activity, it seemed like a quick and easy way to highlight some synthetic methodology their lab ...

Many drugs are derived from natural products. But before natural products can be exploited, chemists must first determine their structure and stereochemistry. This can be a major challenge, ...
