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 ...

A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl group (C=O) to a nitrogen atom. They're so ubiquitous that 117 of the top ...

Linking molecular components through amide bonds is one of the most important reactions in research and the chemical industry. Scientists have now introduced a new type of reaction for making amide ...

Novel, atom-efficient routes to amides from esters and carboxylic acids for more sustainable manufacturing. It is well known that amide-formation chemistry can be inefficient and warrants further ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amide Technologies, a leading biotech company specializing in the synthesis of complex peptides, announced today the appointment of Dr. Brad Pentelute as its new CEO ...

Nature typically outdoes chemists when it comes to efficiently carrying out reactions. But for a nickel—or make that a simple nickel catalyst—a team of UCLA chemists has matched wits with enzymes on ...

A study published in Small examined how modifying the surface charge of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) affects platinum (Pt) photodeposition and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The researchers ...

Chemical structure of imatinib, a precision cancer drug containing an amide bond. Xiaoguang Lei and his team used their engineered enzyme to streamline the synthesis of imatinib, a landmark cancer ...
