Scientists have succeeded in reconstructing biomolecules in their mirror-image form. The researchers' goal is to create a mirror-image artificial protein synthesis system. Their aim is to produce ...

Prof. Sangwon Seo’s team successfully achieved enantioselective synthesis, selectively producing only the desired ...

A research team led by Prof. Sangwon Seo of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST has developed a catalytic ...

Despite their seemingly limitless diversity, all forms of life rely on biomolecules of a certain “handedness”—specifically L-amino acids and D-nucleic acids. Nature rarely uses the mirror-image ...

The rippled sheet is a distinctive variation on the pleated beta sheet, which is a well-known structural motif found in thousands of proteins, including important disease-related proteins. Linus ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully fabricated and characterized a fully functional mirror-image nanopore—a molecular gateway built entirely from D-amino acids, the mirror-image forms of ...

Researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing have created a mirror-image version of a protein that performs two of the most fundamental processes of life: copying DNA and transcribing it into RNA.

Consider your hands. They are essentially identical in every respect bar one: They are mirror images of each other. Many of the molecules of life, such as proteins and DNA, have the same property.

A cheap, earth-abundant metal is proving it can do work long reserved for far more expensive catalysts, and the implications ...

Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have succeeded in reconstructing biomolecules in their mirror-image form. The researchers' goal is to create a mirror-image artificial protein ...
