@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.

@stephanhacker2.bsky.socialWe had an amazing poster session at #CovModDrugDiscov! I learned a lot about new warheads, covalent binder optimization and methods to measure target engagement.
Thank you to all presenters for sharing their amazing science.

@waynestatechem.bsky.socialCongratulations 🎉
The 2026 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai “for the discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis.” #chemsky #chirality
@sararah.bsky.sociali am glad that "actual chemistry" won the nobel this year so I don't have to listen to y'all gripe for the next week about biology "winning chemistry again" #ChemSky
@cenmag.bsky.socialA clever modification of surface sugars may turn mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into an effective weapon against osteoporosis.

@rsc.orgCongratulations to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai on receiving the #NobelPrize in chemistry for their work on homochirality and asymmetric organic synthesis! Their pioneering work has been crucial for the manufacture of modern pharmaceuticals. Read the full story; www.rsc.org/news/nobel-p... #ChemSky
@drstevecohen.bsky.socialLe Bel simultaneously with Van ‘t Hoff had the idea that ”chimie dans l’espace” meant molecules had 3-D shapes. Here is his 1874 paper. #ChemSky #ChemChat 🧪 babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hv...
@drstevecohen.bsky.socialThis year’s Chemis try Nobel Prize is about chirality, so here is the original paper by Van ‘t Hoff from 1874 showing chirality and 3-D atomic position in molecules are related. He and Le Bel worked in the same lab…. #ChemSky #ChemChat 🧪 www.chemteam.info/Chem-History...

@cenmag.bsky.socialResearchers have suggested that the origin of homochirality could be chemical reactions in which one reaction product acts as a catalyst for its own formation, a situation known as autocatalysis.
