Free radicals are highly reactive species capable of inducing oxidative damage in biological and material systems. The assessment of antioxidant activity in free radical reactions centres on ...

Scientists have measured how unpaired electrons in atoms at one end of a molecule can drive chemical reactivity on the molecule's opposite side. This work shows how molecules containing these ...

A team of Boston College researchers has demonstrated an unprecedented catalytic approach that enables concurrent control of multiple convergences and selectivities in intermolecular amination of ...

A new study, published by a team of UBC Okanagan chemistry researchers, is creating a major rethink of how enzymes work. And how a quantum phenomenon helps an important enzyme control essential yet ...

Free radicals are highly unstable and reactive molecules that are literally stealing electrons from your healthy cells at this very moment, causing damage that accumulates over time and contributes to ...

Boston College team reports new catalytic process allows for selective transformation of the carbon-hydrogen bonds in common alkenes into value-added new alkenes bearing useful amine functionalities ...

Dr. Gino DiLabio and doctoral student Hossein Khalilian discuss their research paper about how quantum Coulombic interactions can manage and prevent unwanted cell damage from free radicals. The image ...
