"By selectively adding one carbon atom to these existing drug heterocycles in the later stages of development, we can change the molecule's biological and pharmacological properties without changing ...

University of Chicago scientists are studying two possible ways to easily replace a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom in a molecule. Doing so would mean a huge breakthrough in pharmaceutical chemistry, ...

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar electronic properties. Examples of this are the gas carbon monoxide, which ...

For years, if you asked the people working to create new pharmaceutical drugs what they wished for, at the top of their lists would be a way to easily replace a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom in a ...

Argonne National Laboratory is using its exascale supercomputers and artificial intelligence to simulate how carbon behaves ...

A research team from the University of Oklahoma has pioneered a groundbreaking method that could accelerate drug discovery and reduce pharmaceutical development costs. Their work, published in the ...
