News Chemical Synthesis

• Golden wedding for molecules
  

  Chemical syntheses in liquids and gases take place in three-dimensional space. Random collisions between molecules have to result in something new in an extremely short time. But there is another way: on a gold surface under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, molecules lying still next to each other can b more

• World’s first LED lights developed from rice husks
  

  Milling rice to separate the grain from the husks produces about 100 million tons of rice husk waste globally each year. Scientists searching for a scalable method to fabricate quantum dots have developed a way to recycle rice husks to create the first silicon quantum dot (QD) LED light. Their new m more

• Light-powered microbes are super-producing chemical factories
  

  Sharing is key to living in society, whether it’s toddlers sharing toys or nations sharing natural resources; but there’s no avoiding the fact that one side getting more means that the other side gets less. Now, researchers from Osaka University, in collaboration with the University of Shizuoka and more

• The discovery of a freezing-induced peptide ligation during the total chemical synthesis of human interferon-ε

  A counterintuitive freezing-induced peptide ligation was discovered in the total synthesis of human interferon-ε (hIFN-ε) which blocks HIV infection through unique mechanisms. The successful synthesis of hIFN-ε (187 amino acids) in this research laid the foundation for related anti-AIDS drug develop more

• Synthesis of Hydrophobic Insulin-based Peptides Using a Helping-Hand Strategy

  The introduction of solid-phase peptide synthesis in the 1960’s improved the chemical synthesis of both the A- and B-chains of insulin and insulin analogs. However, the subsequent elaboration of the synthetic peptides to generate active hormones continues to be difficult and complex due in part to t more

• Plant extracts as green reductants for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles: Lessons from chemical synthesis

  The increasing use of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) in daily-life applications, elec-tronics, or catalysis calls for green and cost-efficient synthetic methods. Ag NPs are used especially in biomedicine because of their antibacterial, antifungal or anticancer properties. The chemical synthesis all more
