In chemistry, breaking a mirror isn’t always a harbinger of bad luck. Using a trio of catalysts and some blue light, researchers have transformed a racemic mixture of mirror-image molecules into a ...

Making carbon–carbon bonds is hard. Linking racemic mixtures of two alkyls while simultaneously controlling the stereochemistry of both ends of the product is nigh on impossible. Now Gregory Fu, ...

THE separation of racemic mixtures of optical isomers is still limited, with rare exceptions, to the methods of Pasteur. For this reason the resolution of substances which seem identical in the ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 250, No. 1262 (Mar. 24, 1959), pp. 301-315 (15 pages) Meso erythritol forms a tetragonal structure in ...

Evekeo is the racemic version of methamphetamine sulfate salt (1:1 mixture of the d- and l- forms). Methamphetamine is a much stronger stimulant than amphetamine. (Fig. 2) Vyvanse is an inactive ...

This module has been designed to introduce second-year organic chemistry students to the concepts of stereochemistry through the lens of the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential ...

A quote from Rudolph Buchheim, an experimental pharmacologist who lived from 1820 to 1879, summarizes the nature and importance of studies in drug metabolism, including the pharmacokinetics and ...

Established in 1926, Plant Physiology is an international journal devoted to physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, genetics, biophysics, and environmental biology of plants. Plant ...
