For many years, the structure, stability, and catalytic properties of water-soluble enzymes have been studied by analysing their crystal structures and by investigating their catalytic properties when ...

Chemistry truly can be beautiful. The meeting of two or more chemical compounds can result in explosions that look like magic tricks, dancing liquids, and swirls of brilliant colors. Look at some of ...

In recent years, single-molecule and single-particle fluorescence microscopy has emerged as a tool to investigate chemical systems. After an initial lag of over a decade with respect to biophysical ...

It’s fun to watch chemistry labs explode on video, but you know what’s even more fun? Watching a chemistry experiment in action, with a good explanation of what’s going on. That’s science at its most ...

A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...

I love to bake and eat depression cake. It was invented during the Great Depression in the 1930s, when some cake ingredients – like eggs, milk and butter – were hard to get. The recipe makes fluffy ...

TORONTO, ON - Research by a team of chemists at the University of Toronto, led by Nobel Prize-winning researcher John Polanyi, is shedding new light on the behaviour of molecules as they collide and ...

Controlling the products and byproducts of a chemical reaction is called selectivity. Scientists are trying to find better ways to control selectivity in industrial chemical reactions to improve the ...
