New Catalyst Brings Olefin Metathesis Into Biology

Original: New Catalyst Makes Olefin Metathesis Accessible to Biology | Newswise

Researchers report a new catalyst that makes olefin metathesis, a powerful carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction long confined to synthetic chemistry labs, workable in biological systems. The advance could allow chemists to carry out this versatile reaction inside cells or aqueous biological environments, opening possibilities for drug development, chemical biology and the study of biomolecules.

Why now: The announcement of a catalyst bridging synthetic chemistry and biology is a significant scientific advance researchers and chemists are discussing.
