Researchers have developed a unique, copper-free version of the molecular synthesis technique known as click chemistry to create biomolecular probes for in vivo studies of live mice. For the first ...

Researchers have found a way to make copper-catalyzed click chemistry biocompatible. By adding a ligand that minimizes the toxicity of copper but still allows it to catalyze the click chemistry ...

Over the last decade, cysteine thiolate ligands have been shown to be critical to the Cu(I) (cuprous) binding chemistry of many cytosolic metallochaperone and metalloregulatory proteins involved in ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The food chemistry Maillard reaction is responsible for many colors and flavors in foods – roasting of coffee, baking of bread and sizzling of meat. Scientists from National ...

Recently, a collaborative team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, led by Guoqiang Yang, Wanbin Zhang, and Jianming Zhang, reported an asymmetric ...

The field of copper complexes and radical ligand chemistry has witnessed rapid progress over recent years, driven by advancing spectroscopic and computational methods that have deepened our ...

The vigorous reaction between copper metal and nitric oxide famously propelled chemist Ira Remsen into an esteemed career in research and education that spanned the turn of the 20th century. In a ...

Copper is not new to medicine, having been used in infection-fighting nanoparticles and implants, among many other innovations. However, it hasn’t quite been used in the way some chemists from the ...
