Beryllium chloride (BeCl2) is a classic example of a compound with significant covalent character. Despite the electronegativity difference between beryllium (1.57) and chlorine (3.16) suggesting a ...

Prior to 2000, many drugs that formed a covalent bond with targets did so non-selectively, which often led to undesired side effects when compared to non-covalent drugs. This led to the belief that ...

Hydrogenation: The addition of hydrogen (H₂) across a double or triple bond, typically using a metal catalyst (e.g., ...

A research group has successfully demonstrated that carbon-carbon (C-C) covalent bonds expand and contract flexibly in response to light and heat. This unexpected flexibility of C-C bonds could confer ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. and TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — New research shows that curium — one of the heaviest known elements — can be manipulated to a larger degree than previously thought. An international team ...

Water molecules are so attracted to each other that even after the balloon pops, the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen ...

Avalon BioVentures managing partners Sergio Duron and Sandy Madigan hadn’t even left their previous start-up when they hatched the idea for Enlaza Therapeutics. While they were both still at Nerio ...

In the battle against B-cell cancers, drugs that target the enzyme Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) have transformed treatment. Before the first BTK inhibitor, ibrutinib, came on the market in 2013, ...

There are four bases: Adenine and Guanine (purines); Cytosine and Thymine (Pyrimidines). Purines have two carbon-nitrogen rings while pyrimidines have a single carbon-nitrogen ring. Thus, there are ...

New research shows that curium — one of the heaviest known elements — can be manipulated to a larger degree than previously thought. An international team published a study on July 15 in the journal ...
