The vast majority of organic molecules (based on a carbon structure) are not flat, but have a three-dimensional geometry. Various results can be obtained depending ... a novel methodology that opens ...

A new theory that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first ...

In 1896, German chemist Emil Fischer noted something very strange about a molecule named acetaldehyde phenylhydrazone.

The actual connection between physics and molecular biology is that curvature and torsion are the most probable solutions ...

On the other hand, biologists and biochemists are comfortable with descriptions of cellular and molecular processes occurring ...

Integrating structural, biochemical, and computational methods, this work reveals metal translocation and conformational changes of a prototypical elevator-type ZIP transporter, providing insights ...

Credit: SciTechDaily.com UCLA chemists have overturned a century-old rule in organic chemistry that limited molecular design by proving that anti-Bredt olefins can ... double bonds cannot exist at ...

According to Bredt's rule, double bonds cannot exist at certain positions on organic molecules if the molecule's geometry deviates too far from what we learn in textbooks. This rule has ...

The atoms, and those attached to them, ordinarily lie in the same 3D plane. Molecules that deviate from this geometry are uncommon. The rule in question, known as Bredt's rule in textbooks ...

On an airplane, motions of the air on both small and large scales contribute to turbulence, which may result in a bumpy flight. Turbulence on a much larger scale is important to how stars form in ...
