Researchers at the University of Oklahoma have made a discovery that could potentially revolutionize treatments for ...

The structure of carbohydrates—hexoses to be precise—posed one of the earliest chemical mysteries. Emil Fischer, a grandfather of chemical biologists, relied on phenyl hydrazine to elucidate ...

Historically, the vast majority of pharmaceutical drugs have been meticulously designed down to the atomic level. The ...

Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale. Considering their relatively large complex structures, nanomedicines have lagged behind. Researchers argue ...

Since most antibiotics rely on a carbohydrate molecule to penetrate the thin, external layer of the gram-negative bacteria, this discovery could transform the way doctors treat multi-drug ...

Specific topics include enzyme catalysis; binding and allosterism; protein-protein, protein-carbohydrate ... of physical chemistry principles to the study of the structure, dynamics, and chemical ...
