Asymmetric catalysis is a type of catalysis in which a chiral catalyst directs the formation of a chiral compound such that formation of one particular stereoisomer is favoured. Since the catalyst ...

Asymmetric Hydrolysis of α-Amino and α-Acetoxy Esters: During our mechanistic work on hydroxyl-direct ester hydrolysis, we observed an undirected background reaction that appeared to proceed by an O .

reaction rates, etc., from first principles is a great dream of nuclear physicists. Nuclear properties are determined by forces that act between nucleons. In the project, in order to establish ...

The new left-handed RNA enzyme (top right) can then combine right-handed RNA fragments (top left) to produce more of the original right-handed enzyme, restarting the cycle of cross-chiral self ...

This manipulation helps to speed up the oxygen evolution reaction for successful water splitting. The researchers designed topological chiral crystals, which were composed of various elements like ...

The topological chiral crystals, composed of rhodium and ... significantly accelerating the overall chemical reaction. "These crystals are essentially quantum machines," says Dr.
