Researchers have proposed a highly efficient method for detecting molecular chirality using tailored laser fields. Chiral molecules are those that have two versions that are mirror images, like our ...

Chiral molecules occur very frequently in nature. Sugar, for example, consists of chiral molecules, as do many amino acids; our bodies are also made up of these building blocks. Chirality means that ...

This module has been designed to introduce second-year organic chemistry students to the concepts of stereochemistry through the lens of the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential ...

The separation of enantiomers – mirror-image forms of chiral compounds – is a pivotal process in chemical research due to its wide-reaching applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials ...

Early in the drug discovery process, it is necessary to begin studies on enantiomerically pure compounds due to the potential for unique efficacy and adverse effects associated with one enantiomer ...

Mol Chemistry, from Substrate Games, is designed to make learning organic chemistry a little less painful and a little more fun. Users can choose from a few topics that they want to review, including ...

Currently, various therapeutic compounds in the market, such as proteins, enzymes, and amino acids, are "chiral compounds"--molecules with two structures that are "mirror" images of each other but ...

Sajish Mathew receives funding from NIH COBRE grant (P20GM109091). The effects a drug or chemical compound have on the body depend on how its atoms are arranged in space. Some compounds have a dark ...

Chiral molecules are those that have two versions that are mirror images, like our right and left hands. These molecules have the same structure but different properties when they interact with other ...
