How Can the Enantiomers of a Chiral Molecule be Separated More Effectively?
See details
(Germany: Latest Thinking, 2017), 20 mins
Chiral molecules are molecules that behave as image and mirror image to each other; these are also called enantiomers. There is a demand in pure enantiomers, which can be created for the use of a variety of industries, such as drugs for the pharmaceutical industry or herbicides for agrochemistry. ANDREAS SEIDEL-MO...

How Did the Three-Dimensional Structures of Proteins Evolve in Nature?
See details
(Germany: Latest Thinking, 2017), 14 mins
Proteins mediate a vast array of functions in the body, like fighting invaders or transporting oxygen. Their remarkable properties are due to their three-dimensional structure which is acquired by a simple chain of molecules, a polypeptide, folding into a complex structure, the protein. This folding process is sti...
