The founding in 1965 of what is now called the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has
reaped dividends in numerous and diverse areas of chemical research. Each of the million …

Conspectus Despite their ubiquity and early discovery, London dispersion forces are often
overlooked. This is due, in part, to the difficulty in assessing their contributions to molecular …

The taste receptor type 1 (T1r) family perceives 'palatable'tastes. These receptors function as
T1r2-T1r3 and T1r1-T1r3 heterodimers to recognize a wide array of sweet and umami …

All water–water contacts in the crystal structures from the Cambridge Structural Database
with dOO≤ 4.0 Å have been found. These contacts were analysed on the basis of their …

It has been demonstrated that sulfur–sulfur interactions can exist in various molecular
systems. In this work we investigated sulfur–sulfur interactions in crystal structures of small …

Aromatic molecules with π electrons are commonly involved in chemical and biological
recognitions. For example, nucleobases play central roles in DNA/RNA structure and their …

A molecular torsion balance was designed to study and measure OH− π interactions
between protic solvents and aromatic surfaces. These specific solvent–solute interactions …

The utility of colloidal nanomaterials in energy storage devices, high-definition displays, and
industrial coatings depends on their solution processability and stability. Traditional theories …

C–H/O interactions of aromatic C–H donors within proteins have been studied by analyzing
the data in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The C–H/O interactions were studied between …

Despite many DNA–protein π-interactions in high-resolution crystal structures, only four X–
H··· π or X··· π interactions were found between serine (Ser) or cysteine (Cys) and DNA …
