Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

Ending esters The reaction the research team worked on (involving some of the same people who designed snake venom inhibitors) is the breakdown of what's called an ester bond.

A novel strategy of photocatalytic C(sp3)−H bond oxidation of various aryl ethers to esters using oxygen as the oxidant was developed. Mechanistic studies reveal the HAT process via ...

An essential boundary between bacteria and the environment is their lipid membrane, typically consisting of a fatty acid bilayer bound to glycerol-3-phosphate backbone via ester linkages. However, a ...

This editing involves cleaving the ester bond between amino acid and tRNA. In general, once tRNA-AA is formed, amino acid triggers a conformational change in the 3′ end of tRNA and results in tRNA ...

Graphical Abstract. Metal ion centers hydrolyzing ester bonds in lipids and the phosphate ester bonds of phospholipid liposomes, with scissile linkages and polar head groups respectively highlighted ...

ABSTRACT Long chain phosphate esters bearing at least one or two aryl groups have been synthesized and used for the preparation of stable multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) hybrids. The non-covalent ...

The biological activities of some members of this class of compounds stem from their structural similarity to phosphate esters combined with the hydrolytically stable P-C bond. Other members mimic ...
