Here’s a popular high school chemistry fact: Helium atoms don’t interact with other atoms to create compounds. Well, that fact might need some reevaluating. An international team of scientists think ...

The idea behind the caging technique is that a molecule of interest can be rendered biologically inert (or caged) by chemical modification with a photoremovable protecting group (Fig. 1). Illumination ...

Although originally created merely as repositories for compounds synthesized within an organization, chemical databases can now be searched to give novel ideas for lead discovery. The familiar ...
