Chemists studying how life started often focus on how modern biopolymers like peptides and nucleic acids contributed, but modern biopolymers don't form easily without help from living organisms. A ...

Michael Taylor (standing), an assistant professor in UW’s Department of Chemistry, received an NSF CAREER Award. He will use his award to study biology through the use of organic chemistry. Here, ...

Heteroatom tin compounds (SSn, OSn, NSn, PSn) composed of heteroatoms S, O, N, P and tin atoms have attracted intense attention due to their wide applications in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical ...

We offer a reserach area with its core in the Organic Chemistry of Natural Products focusing on understanding utilizing, and replicating the chemical compounds produced by living organisms. This way ...

Elemental analysis offers scientists a method of determining the elements present in an organic compound, and in what quantity. Various fields of science rely on this type of analysis for research, ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

Azides are chemical compounds widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials chemistry. However, conventional synthesis methods for azide compounds have severe ...

VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are compounds that contain carbon atoms and that, at room temperature, easily evaporate. Too small to see and virtually omnipresent both indoors and out, they can ...

As space agencies prepare to bring home pieces of the Martian system, the hope of finding life elsewhere in the universe feels closer than ever. NASA’s Mars Sample Return plan and the Martian Moons ...
