In 1983, G.D. Searle, the Skokie-based company he helped run, had just become the sole provider of the sugar substitute aspartame after the federal Food and Drug Administration signed off on its ...

Hydrolysis of the phosphodiester linkages in DNA is a notoriously difficult reaction. Deoxyribozymes that use Zn 2+ and Mn 2+ ions to accelerate this reaction by a factor of one hundred million ...

Consider sunscreen as one part of your overall skin cancer protection plan, year-round, especially if staying in the shade and wearing protective clothing aren’t available as your first options.

At Indiana’s only nuclear reactor, engineers conduct the first experiments of their kind in the U.S.

COS hydrolysis is an exothermic reaction, and it has been studied in a wide range of operating conditions. A watershed, when dealing with this process, is represented by the process temperature.

Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising feedstock for sustainable biofuels and bioproducts. Among emerging bioproducts, lactic acid has attracted significant interest because of its growing application ...

Modulation of water activation is crucial to water-involved chemical reactions in heterogeneous catalysis. Organic sulfur (COS and CS 2) hydrolysis is such a typical reaction involving water (H 2 O) ...
