THIS book is lineal successor in a series of famous books dealing with structural chemistry from a physical point of view, the first of the line being G. N. Lewis's “Valence and the Structure of Atoms ...

Chemical insight into biological function is the holy grail of structural biology. Small molecules are central players as building blocks, effectors and probes of macromolecular structure and function ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.

In 1923, the year C&EN was born, Gilbert N. Lewis of the University of California, Berkeley, published a book titled “Valence and the Structure of Atoms and Molecules.” In the text, Lewis laid out the ...

The speed of a chemical reaction is affected by temperature, concentration, particle size and the presence of a catalyst. It can be calculated by measuring changes in reactants/products. Revise: ...

The periodic table arranges all chemical elements in special ways. Different types of chemical bonding, and patterns and trends can be observed in their arrangement. Revise: Structure and bonding ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

How does our nose work? Have you wondered how we can detect so many different types of odors? There is chemistry behind food smells. In this activity, we will explore how small changes in chemical ...
