The formation of an irreversible covalent bond between inhibitor and target increases the stability of the complex and can have therapeutic advantages such as longer duration of action. However, the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. and TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — New research shows that curium — one of the heaviest known elements — can be manipulated to a larger degree than previously thought. An international team ...

A research group has successfully demonstrated that carbon-carbon (C-C) covalent bonds expand and contract flexibly in response to light and heat. This unexpected flexibility of C-C bonds could confer ...

A research team from Hokkaido University has confirmed a century-old theory by discovering a stable single-electron covalent bond, known as a sigma bond, between two carbon atoms. This unique bond ...

Computational chemists predict that actinide elements trapped in fullerene cages will form some unusual metal-metal bonds, including very long covalent bonds and π bonds without accompanying σ bonds ...

Misbehaving proteins are behind many diseases. One way drugmakers incapacitate these bad actors is to deploy molecules that bind to them. But finding solid footholds on the proteins to block their ...

New research shows that curium — one of the heaviest known elements — can be manipulated to a larger degree than previously thought. An international team published a study on July 15 in the journal ...
