Chemists are constantly tasked not just with designing useful new molecules — for novel drugs, energy-storing materials and countless other jobs — but with designing better ways to make those ...

When a bone grows, our bodies’ proteins help provide the structure. When a muscle tears, proteins help rebuild it. When we fight an infection, transport oxygen in our blood or send messages to a cell, ...

As our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving complex biological processes grows, the role of chemical biology will continue to expand. The 2008 American Society for Biochemistry and ...

A new method that captures and detects ‘hidden’ diazo metabolites has identified two of them in a bacterium that causes lung ...
