Chemists snap together complex 3D molecules from highly reactive 'radicals'—without losing their shape
Source ↗ 👁 1 💬 0
Building the complex 3D molecules needed for new medicines has always been a bit like assembling a puzzle with pieces that keep trying to flip over. Now, chemists at Scripps Research have found a way to snap two such molecular pieces together while keeping their original 3D shapes intact, even when using some of the most reactive molecules in chemistry: free radicals.
