Chiral drugs contain non-superimposable mirror-image forms (enantiomers) that can exhibit drastically different pharmacological effects. Over 60% of current drugs are chiral, highlighting their ...

Catenanes are organic compounds with ring-like molecules that are mechanically interlocked. The mechanical locking system in such molecules is so robust that they can only be disentangled via covalent ...

A research team led by Prof. Sangwon Seo of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST has developed a catalytic technology that can easily and elaborately assemble key structural frameworks ...

Chiral agrochemicals exist as non-superimposable mirror-image forms, or enantiomers, that often display markedly different biological activities, environmental fates and toxicological profiles. While ...

Chemists bring fresh insight into the development of semiconductor materials that can do things their traditional silicon counterparts cannot -- harness the power of chirality, a non-superimposable ...
