Chiral synthesis and atropisomerism represent interlinked facets of modern organic chemistry, wherein the spatial arrangement of atoms imparts distinctive properties crucial for applications in ...

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 ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

L-DOPA is the best drug we have for Parkinson’s disease, but its molecular mirror image, D-DOPA, causes dangerous side effects. Making L-DOPA without also making D-DOPA is surprisingly hard and ...

Have you ever placed the palm of your left hand on the back of your right hand, in such a way that all fingers point in the same direction? If you have, then you probably know that your left thumb ...

Researchers verified the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, i.e., the influence of chiral molecules on spin, using spintronic analytical techniques. Researchers at Mainz University verified the ...
