Proteins have existed for billions of years, yet their photolytically weak sulfide bridges can be cleaved by light, so how do they persist?

Light Relief for Proteins

Adsorption of Water on a Stepped Pt Surface
Little is known about the chemistry of water on stepped surfaces, although it plays a central role in many catalytic surface reactions

Total Synthesis of (±)-Maoecrystal V
The total synthesis of maoecrystal V, albeit as a racemate, has been completed

Double-Edged Synthesis
A two-directional total synthesis has been used by US chemists to construct microbial molecules with anticancer properties

Lanthanoid Single-Ion Magnets
Polyoxometalate-based mononuclear lanthanoid complexes provide new examples of single-ion magnets

Lubrication Oil Emitted By Aircrafts
Lubrication oil emission can be a significant component of organic particulate matter (PM) in aircraft engine exhaust

Women In US Chemical Industry
More women in boards of directors, stagnation of chemical company executive officers compared to last year

Controlled Release Applications
Self-assembly of three molecular components results in a delivery platform, the release rate of which can be tuned after its production

New Insights into Surface Tension of Water
The equilibrium surface tension of water is that of an interface charged by the flow of hydroxide and not that of the pristine air/water surface

Fundamental Assumptions for DNA Self-Assembly
Direct atomic force microscopy (AFM) observation of DNA tile crystal growth at the single-molecule level
