The majority of structural efforts addressing RNA's catalytic function have focused on natural ribozymes, which catalyze phosphodiester transfer reactions. By contrast, little is known about how RNA ...
No reaction is more elegant, more heartwarmingly satisfying than the Diels-Alder reaction. No reaction is also more nuanced. It appears deceptively simple and yet has the ability to create immense ...
It's natural for chemists to wonder whether the ingenious reactions that have been invented in the laboratory over the past century were actually harnessed millions of years ago by enzymes, nature's ...
