Most currently available small molecules bind to and alter the activity of proteins, but a new study by Fedorova et al. demonstrates that tertiary RNA structures could also be therapeutic targets.

The researchers systematically studied three types of tertiary amines—methylated, flexible-chain, and rigid amines—by exposing them to light in the presence of naphthalimide molecules.

Small stereochemical changes can bring big distinctions to molecules like drugs, fragrances, and propellants. Switching the stereochemistry of a single substituent can change a rose-scented ...

The team combined readily available terminal olefins, secondary amines, an oxidant, and a palladium sulfoxide catalyst to make over 80 tertiary amines, including drugs and drug derivatives ...

Two sets of 1D 1 H-NMR experiments, using 700 MHz and 600 MHz instruments at 298 K were carried out to determine the presence and the extent of tertiary structure. Structural similarity among members ...

All the crucial proteins in our bodies must fold into complex shapes to do their jobs. These snarled molecules grip other molecules to move them around, to speed up important chemical reactions or ...

Tertiary phosphines also played a role in turning water molecules into protons that helped achieve ammonia as the final product. “When the iridium photocatalyst absorbs sunlight, its excited ...

A new study led by ASHBi Professor Motoko Yanagita reports one such pathway by showing a lower expression of two molecules, ... Tertiary lymphoid tissues are also found in populations with several ...

The oxidized tertiary phosphines then activate water molecules via formation of a chemical bond between the phosphine’s phosphorous atom and the water, yielding protons,” said Nishibayashi.
