New Catalyst Brings Olefin Metathesis Into Biology
Original: New Catalyst Makes Olefin Metathesis Accessible to Biology | Newswise
Researchers have announced a new catalyst that makes olefin metathesis, a powerful carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction long confined to synthetic chemistry labs, workable in biological settings. The advance could allow chemists to run the reaction inside living systems, opening the door to new applications in drug development and biochemistry. Details of the work were released via a news service, and reactions from the scientific community are still coming in.
Why now: Newly published research promises a major chemistry breakthrough with potential biological and pharmaceutical applications.
