Network control theory can describe the photochemical isomerization of glucose to allose. This transformation, in which the hydroxy group on a single carbon flips from one stereochemical configuration ...

The three exposed tyrosines of RNase A have been converted to nitrotyrosines by reaction with tetranitromethane, and the changes in the ionization properties of these nitrotyrosines have been used to ...

Phosphoglucose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9) catalyzes the second step in glycolysis, the reversible isomerization of D-glucose 6-phosphate to d-fructose 6-phosphate. The reaction mechanism involves ...

A collaborative academic-industry research team in the U.K. has devised a method to convert the terminal triple bond of an alkyne into a diester with the two ester groups at opposite ends of the ...

Researchers have used excited-state electron transfer events to 'pump' olefin molecules up and then have them fall back down through a series of favorable steps to ultimately transform into a less ...

Chemists have long sought methods to convert more stable internal olefins into less stable terminal olefins. Isomerization reactions that proceed against a thermodynamic bias, as this one would, are ...
