Although synthetic biology labs have toyed with the possibility of building mirror bacteria, scientists have opted to ditch ...

Many biological molecules are chiral, meaning they exist in two forms that are mirror images of each other, like left and ...

All life on Earth can be traced back to a Last Universal Common Ancestor, or LUCA—and it likely lived on Earth only 400 million years after its formation.

More than half of all modern medicines are chiral. Since biomolecules such as amino acids, sugars and proteins in our body all have the same handedness, active pharmaceutical ingredients must also ...

Many biological molecules are chiral, meaning they exist in two forms ... in all biomolecules on Earth (proteins, sugars, amino acids, RNA and DNA), suggesting it could have arisen from the ...

Enantiopure pillar[5]arenes are valued for their roles in host–guest recognition and chiral sensing ... to construct deuterium-labeled amino acids remains a challenge. Here, the authors report ...

coli can grow on things that are not chiral. And so within your bloodstream, there’s enough food, we believe, for a mirror version of a microorganism to reproduce. The other thing that people often ...

Over the last years our research group has prepared several complex amino acid derivatives, some of them with promising biological activity. 17, 18 Thus, we envisioned that the preparation of new ...

This property is particularly important in the pharmaceutical industry. More than half of all modern medicines are chiral. Since biomolecules such as amino acids, sugars, and proteins in our body all ...

A new strategy for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries is based on a hydrometallurgical process in neutral solution. This ...
