The conformational structure of a molecule can have important effects on its interactions and properties, but studying such effects is made difficult by the challenge of separating different ...

The awareness of conformers involved in the chemical reaction is the first prerequisite for success in rationally synthesizing organic compounds of desired stereochemistry. Thus, researchers should be ...

Peroxy radicals (RO 2) are very important reaction intermediates in the oxidation of atmospheric chemistry and combustion. Their reactions can lead to the formation of a great deal of secondary ...

Researchers find that different conformers of a type of atmospheric molecular intermediates react differently with the pollutant dimethyl amine. The contributions of Argonne National Laboratory, ...

In recent years, support has grown for the idea that the same aggregating protein can fold up into different toxic shapes, giving rise to distinct neurodegenerative diseases. Now, in the August 29 ...
