If there were a classroom full of all the transition metals that could be used as catalysts for complex pharmaceutical reactions, iron would be the most promising but most unruly member. “This is a ...

Many fundamental phenomena and laws of nature result from dissymmetry, which is exemplified as chirality or handedness in modern chemistry. In nature, the effective forms of many biological molecules ...

Researchers have created an iron catalyst that can facilitate important chemical reactions in place of the current catalyst, which is made from precious metals. A catalyst is a key ingredient for many ...

Enzymes catalyze the critical chemical reactions that help build and power living organisms. But chemists studying the origin of life on Earth face a vexing question: How did these metabolic reactions ...

Former Iron Maiden singer Blaze Bayley had an emotional reaction to the metal band's Brave New World when he first heard it back in 2000. Of course, that's not altogether surprising, especially since ...

AN iron-dextran combination of low molecular weight§ has proved to be effective in correcting the anemia of iron deficiency. Hagedorn 1 reported that over 400 injections had been given at the Mayo ...

Researchers have created and characterized a novel, three-component cross-coupling reaction that is a 'tremendous leap forward' in developing effective and practical iron-based reactions that could be ...

A catalyst is a key ingredient for many chemical reactions. It facilitates a molecule to change into another molecule, without being changed itself, meaning it can be used multiple times. However, ...
