A team of scientists has identified a new physical mechanism that could help explain one of the most persistent mysteries in ...

Enantiomers are two molecules with the same chemical composition, mirror images of each other, which do not overlap. Produced in equal quantities during a chemical reaction, they may exhibit opposite ...

When chemists need to separate one chiral molecule from a mixture of enantiomers—for instance, when synthesizing potential drug molecules—they often turn to high-performance liquid chromatography ...

(A) Binding energies of (-)-morphine and (+)-morphine interacting with MOR. (B) Binding pocket residues of (-)-morphine and (+)-morphine in MOR, visualized from the extracellular side. (C) W293 ...

A mixture of a both enantiomers of carvone and both enantiomers of an orange ferrocene probe can be loaded into this device. Each enantiomer comes out the other end of the device as a separate ...

Many chemical compounds exist in two variants, called enantiomers. These consist of the same elements but act as mirror images of each other. In reference to our hands, which are also mirror images, ...
