Once a drug target is identified, it often takes decades until a chemical compound is developed that can hit the bullseye and ...

“The best ideas in drug discovery were often blocked not by biology, but by synthesis,” Boiko told TechCrunch. Synthesis is ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.

You might think of chemistry only in the context of lab tests, food additives or dangerous substances, but the field of chemistry involves everything around us. "Everything you hear, see, smell, taste ...

What’s out there? It’s a question humans have been asking for as long as there have been humans. Our ancestors struck out across continents and oceans to make the unknown known. Now, we’re using ...

Chemists have created a highly reactive chemical compound that has eluded scientists for more than 120 years. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments, safer agricultural products, and better ...

Chemical space — which encompasses all possible small organic molecules, including those present in biological systems — is vast. So vast, in fact, that so far only a tiny fraction of it has been ...

An environmental chemistry laboratory at Duke University has solved a longstanding mystery of the origin of high levels of ...

Designated August 29, 2013, at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Western Regional Research Center in Albany, California. Flavor is caused by receptors in the mouth and ...

The other day my friends at JAYFK posteda story about an innovative new idea in chemistry sets for young science students. Yes, folks, the idea is that young scholars should learn about the science of ...

Academic researchers, drawn into drug discovery without appropriate guidance, are doing muddled science. When biologists identify a protein that contributes to disease, they hunt for chemical ...
