Lasers are used to carry out functions ranging from reading a bar code label at the grocery store to shooting down enemy missiles in space. Now, chemists at Purdue University are using lasers to coax ...
Common in nature and found in DNA and amino acids, chiral molecules are asymmetric with a structure that’s different from its mirror image. Chiral amino acids are “left-handed” and cannot be swapped ...

The shape of molecules to come: A Q&A on designing DNA nanostructures for biomedical applications
An important specialty in this field—and a signature area of study at the University at Albany's RNA Institute—is DNA nanotechnology, wherein the base pairs that comprise DNA molecules are manipulated ...
Some of the innermost workings of molecules are being revealed for the first time. When molecules gain an electric charge, their structure can change, and now we have watched it happen. Shadi Fatayer ...
In a study with implications for the future of drug discovery, scientists showed they were able to turn simple chemicals into unique 3-D structures resembling those found in nature -- structures with ...
US scientists have found that the shape of sugar molecules on cell surfaces in the upper respiratory tract determine how easy it is for influenza viruses to infect humans, and suggest that if the ...
