This week in Journal of Virology, researchers describe a small molecule compound, called NSC51349, that in lab tests has shown promise as an antiviral treatment against cutaneous HPVs.

Benchtop NMR techniques for polymer molecular weight determination: end-group analysis and self-diffusion coefficients provide precise results for PPSU.

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

Urea is considered a possible key molecule in the origin of life. ETH researchers have discovered a previously unknown way in which this building block can form spontaneously on aqueous surfaces ...
