A new chapter in ribonucleic acid synthesis

08-Nov-2018 - Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is, along with DNA and protein, one of the three primary biological macromolecules and was probably the first to arise in early life forms. In the “RNA world” hypothesis, RNA is able to support life on its own because it can both store information and catalyze biochemical ...

New: An environmentally friendly chemical reaction that does not waste any atoms

06-Mar-2014 - In the Research Group of Nuno Maulide, a chemist working at the University of Vienna, a new chemical synthesis forα-arylated Carbonyl derivatives was developed. Members of this class of substances typically possess interesting biological and pharmacological properties and often find applications ...
