The concept of chirality is a central one in chemistry. Chiral chemicals, in which two structures are mirror images that cannot be superimposed, include amino acids and DNA.

@ntumanovxray.bsky.socialYeah, I know that today is Nobel Prize in chemistry and so on, but still, I am back with the traditional guessing game. Try to guess - which #minerals are inside of these food-supplement-shaped objects?

@cenmag.bsky.socialWhat does an imaginary fluid that isn’t made up of atoms have to teach chemists? Perhaps not much—but the community studying that fluid offers a warning about the risks and opportunities of adopting AI for research.

@natureportfolio.nature.comHenri Kagan and Kenso Soai, who solved the chemical mystery of why some reactions create molecules that are just one of two possible mirror-image variants, have won this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry. #chemsky 🧪
@chemistryworld.comWhile the science behind the new GLP-1 drugs has missed out on this year's Nobel prize, Danish pharmaceutical firm Novo Nordisk has struck several deals to secure the rights to the new weight-loss and cardiometabolic disease treatments.
@cenmag.bsky.socialIn addition to his pioneering work on chiral phosphine ligands, Henri B. Kagan was the first to quantify and explain nonlinear effects (NLEs) in catalytic asymmetric reactions.

Will Group 4A salvage our precious theories?
@stephanhacker2.bsky.socialInsightful talk by Matthias Gehringer at #CovModDrugDiscov.
He gave great insights into his group's work on making new kinases amenable to covalent drug discovery at cysteine and beyond.
