A colour-changing compound that can precisely indicate the ‘enantiomeric excess’ (ee) of chiral molecules could provide a convenient method to measure pharmaceutical purity. Many molecular systems in ...

Chirality sensing and enantiomeric excess determination have emerged as pivotal techniques within chemical and pharmaceutical research, providing crucial insights into the optical purity of chiral ...

Doubly stapled α-helix consisting only of achiral amino acids. Its one-handed form can be isolated because the interconversion between the right- and left-handed forms is almost completely suppressed.

Cage-shaped molecule that changes from left-handed to right-handed when a metal ion enters its inner cavity. The conversion speed varies up to 1000 times depending on the size of the metal ion (K +, ...

KANAZAWA, Japan, Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nature Communications how they can control chirality inversion in α helical peptides. The function of a ...

In recent years, molecular materials exhibiting circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)—light with a specific rotational direction (right- or left-handed)—have attracted considerable attention for ...

The ability to differentiate between two chiral enantiomers is important for chemical industries such as pharmaceutical companies, flavor/odor engineering, and forensic science. A new wave of chiral ...
