The activation energy barrier of biochemical reactions is normally lowered by an enzyme
catalyst, which directly helps the weakening of the bond (s) to be broken. In many …

In this review, we examine how bacterial metabolism is shaped by chemical constraints
acting on the material and dynamic layout of enzymatic networks and beyond. These are …

We report a Pd-mediated synthesis and crystal structure of a new chiral Ag33 (SCH2CH2Ph)
24 (PPh3) 4 nanocluster with an open shell electronic structure. The single-crystal X-ray …

Infrared chiral plasmonic metamaterials based on perpendicularly positioned nanorods
enable surface-enhanced vibrational circular dichroism for more selective and sensitive …

Ribosomally synthesized peptides are generally limited to l-amino acid building blocks.
Given the advantageous properties of peptides containing d-amino acids such as …

In humans, age-associated degrading changes, widely observed in molecular and cellular
processes underly the time-dependent decline in spatial navigation, time perception …

The preponderance of a specific d-or l-chirality in fats, sugars, amino acids, nucleic acids,
and so on is ubiquitous in nature, yet the biological origin of such chiral dominance (ie, with …

The functions of some natural supramolecular architectures, such as ribosomes, are
dependent on the recognition of different types of chiral biomolecules. However, the …

Peptoids are peptide regioisomers with attractive structural tunability in terms of sequence
and three-dimensional arrangement. Peptoids are foreseen to have a great potential for …

Chiral plasmonic nanostructures have emerged as promising objects for numerous
applications in nanophotonics, optoelectronics, biosensing, chemistry, and pharmacy. Here …
