The research appears in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (advanced online edition). Read More 

 

I know there are projects that need custom synthesis, medicinal chemistry or chemical consulting.  Why wait any longer submit an inquiry or use our Ask-A-Chemist service!
