Inspired by what human liver enzymes can do, chemists have developed a new set of copper-catalyzed organic synthesis reactions for building and modifying pharmaceuticals and other molecules. The new ...

Researchers from Yanshan University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) have developed a novel gold-catalyzed method for engineering atomically rough ...

Amino acids are molecules fundamental to living organisms because they combine to build proteins, the workhorses of the cell. One metabolic pathway that produces amino acids involves transamination, a ...
