When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, made small tweaks to the DNA structure of lysergic acid ...

Inspired by how DNA can pack massive quantities of information into tiny amounts of material, chemists have been working for ...

A single trapped ytterbium ion can be used to simulate complex changes in the energy levels of organic molecules interacting ...

Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic ...

The work tests and revises a 50-year old textbook model, known as the Bloch hypothesis, for the evolution of sterol metabolism in eukaryotic cells. The results indicate that the complexity of sterol ...

A new study published in Communications Biology sheds light on how the psychedelic compound DMT changes the brain’s dynamic ...

(Researchers have only just mapped out how the LSD molecule attaches to receptors in the brain, in a study published Thursday.) We do know that more study is needed -- and that if Attorney General ...

‘There are many non-hallucinogenic analogues of LSD, but the fundamental difference is that all of those compounds are very ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A huge building fire in Kansas City’s Old Northeast Tuesday evening blocked streets and sent a tower of smoke into the sky that could be seen from far across the metro.

“If I can develop a straight-up inhibitor—[if] I have high conviction I can achieve a chemical structure that’s selective, that has the desired target occupancy, efficacy, and potency ...

Mirkin, who coauthored the paper. "In the small molecule era, it was critical to control the placement of every atom and every bond within a particular structure. If one element was out of place ...
