The Alchemist on Chemistry

April 26, 2013 – 5:18 pm

The Alchemist hears of a downside to graphene emerging from calculations on defects in less than crystalline forms of the material that could have implications for its applications, we also pick up on protective polymer spacesuits for fruit flies, the missing link in medical samples and how electrons can be used to watch atoms move in reaction transition states. In environmental news, black carbon ends up in the red rather than being green and finally US biochemistry wins a prestigious award in Germany.

Mapping all drug-like chemicals

April 24, 2013 – 2:03 am
  • Scientists map all possible drug-like chemical compounds: Library of millions of small, carbon-based molecules chemists might synthesize - Drug developers may have a new tool to search for more effective medications and new materials. It's a computer algorithm that can model and catalog the entire set of lightweight, carbon-containing molecules that chemists could feasibly create in a lab.(10.1021/ja401184g)

    Engineered extremophile brews bulk chemical | Chemistry World

    April 11, 2013 – 9:00 am
  • Engineered extremophile brews bulk chemical | Chemistry World - US researchers have engineered a heat-loving microbe to produce a bulk chemical from carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Their results may provide a viable industrial alternative to blue-green algae, which have a much lower efficiency for such chemical transformations.(10.1073/pnas.1222607110)
