Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

A team of NYU chemists and physicists are using cutting-edge tools—holographic microscopy and super-resolution imaging—to unlock how cells build and grow tiny, dynamic droplets known as biomolecular ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein complexes are ring-shaped molecular motors essential for genome folding. Despite recent progress, the detailed molecu ...

Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...
