• The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010 given to three scientists

  Organic chemistry has developed into an art form where scientists produce marvelous chemical creations in their test tubes. Mankind benefits from this in the form of medicines, ever-more precise electronics and advanced technological materials. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010 awards one of the mos more

• New nano-tool synthesized at Scripps Research Institute

  Two chemists at The Scripps Research Institute have synthesized a new nano-scale scientific tool — a tiny molecular switch that turns itself on or off as it detects metallic ions in its immediate surroundings. Featured on the cover of the International Edition of the journal Angewandte Chemie, this more

• Enzyme design with remote effects
  

  Engineers are unlikely to tinker with the cooling system if they want to increase the size of an engine. Yet chemists at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research have adopted an approach similar to this in their efforts to optimise an enzyme for practical applications. They substituted two amino a more

• Yeast and fungal cell-wall polysaccharides can self-assemble in vitro into an ultrastructure resembling in vivo yeast cell walls

  Polysaccharides account for more than 90% of the content of fungal cell walls, but the mechanism underlying the formation of the architecture of the cell walls, which consist of microfibrils embedded in an amorphous wall matrix, remains unknown. We used electron microscopy to investigate ten differ more

• Charting Microbial Phenotypes in Multiplex Nanoliter Batch Bioreactors

  High-throughput growth phenotyping is receiving great attention for establishing the genotype–phenotype map of sequenced organisms owing to the ready availability of complete genome sequences. To date, microbial growth phenotypes have been investigated mostly by the conventional method of batch cult more

• [Retrospective] Retrospective: Robert G. Edwards (1925–2013)

  The work of a pioneer of in vitro fertilization led to the first "test-tube baby" and changed the field of human reproductive biology. more
