The placement of nitrogen in natural products is therefore determined by the monooxygenase's preference for oxygen incorporation. The complex oxidation machinery is based on molecular shape ...

Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen ...

University of Missouri researchers and collaborators have developed a new chemical tool that could help lower the cost of ...

The nitrogen molecule is composed of two nitrogen atoms joined by a triple covalent bond, thus making the molecule highly inert and nonreactive. Nitrogenase catalyzes the breaking of this bond and ...

At the University of Oklahoma, Prof. Indrajeet Sharma is leading a team of scientists that is working on a ‘skeletal editing’ technique that allows repurposing of existing drugs to treat different ...

Scientists still needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure ... biochemist Erwin Chargaff found that the arrangement of nitrogen bases in DNA varied widely, but the amount of ...

"By selectively adding one nitrogen atom to these existing drug heterocycles in the later stages of development, we can change the molecule's biological and pharmacological properties without ...
