Integrating Chirality into Manufacturing March 15, 2006 March 15, 2006 (Vol. 26, No. 6) The recognition of chirality in bioactive molecules is as old as modern organic chemistry itself.

PDR-Chiral’s latest software products include the Auto MDS for method development and AutoPrep for purification. These modules can be integrated into other systems, which then can be operated ...

New, ultrastable tetrahedral "chiral zinc" added to synthetic chemistry toolbox Catalyst with chirality at the zinc center could be useful for drug, electronic manufacturing Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

A team led by Rice University’s Qingfeng Zhang, Christy F. Landes, and Stephan Link analyzed assemblies of 100-nm-long gold nanorods and bovine serum albumin (BSA), a well-studied chiral protein ...

Chiral molecules are an essential building block of life. They are ubiquitous on Earth and in some comets / asteroids, but scientists have never observed them in interstellar space. Until now.

Similarly, chiral molecules “scatter the electrons according to their direction of rotation,” Naaman said. He and his team named this phenomenon the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect.
