Researchers have found a way to make copper-catalyzed click chemistry biocompatible. By adding a ligand that minimizes the toxicity of copper but still allows it to catalyze the click chemistry ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — This experiment is a chemistry experiment that involves a reaction between copper and oxygen, also know as an oxidation reaction. To do this experiment, you will need: pennies a sheet ...

One of the staples of kitchen chemistry for kids is making sugar crystals or rock candy. Why not? It is educational and it tastes good, too. [Science with Screens] has a different kind of crystal in ...

Copper is not new to medicine, having been used in infection-fighting nanoparticles and implants, among many other innovations. However, it hasn’t quite been used in the way some chemists from the ...

The reduction of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, is a critical reaction in both environmental chemistry and the biological nitrogen cycle. Central to this process is nitrous oxide reductase ...

The vigorous reaction between copper metal and nitric oxide famously propelled chemist Ira Remsen into an esteemed career in research and education that spanned the turn of the 20th century. In a ...

Copper-free click chemistry has presented intriguing opportunities for the development of clickable drug surrogates, particularly in the context of fluorescent imaging of target of interest (TOI) ...

Methanotrophs, bacteria that use methane as a food and energy source, have to acquire copper ions from their environment because their primary metabolic enzyme uses it to metabolize methane. Some ...

Over the last decade, cysteine thiolate ligands have been shown to be critical to the Cu(I) (cuprous) binding chemistry of many cytosolic metallochaperone and metalloregulatory proteins involved in ...
