Amides are among the most ubiquitous functional groups in organic chemistry, forming the backbone of peptides and playing a vital role in pharmaceutical, synthetic and materials chemistry. Their ...

Amide Technologies has raised $16.5 million in venture capital to help commercialize its peptide production process. The process was developed from 2011 to 2017 in the lab of the Massachusetts ...

The synthesis and subsequent functionalisation of amides have emerged as pivotal areas in modern synthetic chemistry, enabling the direct conversion of these otherwise inert functional groups into ...

Extending or trimming the length of a drug molecule’s carbon backbone by just a couple of atoms can significantly alter its activity, even if nothing else in the structure changes. So reactions that ...

Researchers at the Biocatalysis group led by Dr Francesco Mutti at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (University of Amsterdam) have developed a novel use of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) ...
