The synthesis and subsequent functionalisation of amides have emerged as pivotal areas in modern synthetic chemistry, enabling the direct conversion of these otherwise inert functional groups into ...

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 pair of copper catalysts can create chiral amides in a new, light-driven process, offering a useful alternative to the standard method for making these staples of medicinal chemistry (Nature 2021, ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Biocatalysis group led by Dr Francesco Mutti at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (University of Amsterdam) have developed a novel use of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) ...

“Amide’s significant advances in peptide synthesis has allowed us to obtain synthetic versions of very long peptides which historically would have been intractable,” said Mack Flinspach, Executive ...

Amide Technologies has raised $16.5 million in venture capital to help commercialize its peptide production process. The process was developed from 2011 to 2017 in the lab of the Massachusetts ...

Polymers are one of the most important elements of modern-day society, particularly in the form of plastics. Unfortunately most common polymers are derived from fossil resources, which not only makes ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amide Technologies, a biotech that synthesizes challenging peptides, announced today that it has begun commercializing its novel peptide manufacturing platform. The ...
