All covalent network structures have very high melting points ... They do not conduct electricity. Some covalent molecular compounds have higher melting points than expected.
Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers have developed an ...
A study in Nature applies structure-based drug design to develop covalent inhibitors that selectively target an oncogenic AKT1 mutant and avoid the dose-limiting toxicities of pan-AKT inhibitors.
Self-assembly can occur in various systems, such as surfactants forming micelles, lipids forming bilayers, or DNA origami structures. Supramolecular chemistry focuses on the study of non-covalent ...
