Water-stable catalyst brings carbon-bond chemistry closer to living cells
Original: Water-stable catalyst could bring carbon-bond chemistry closer to use in living cells
Researchers report a water-stable catalyst that can form carbon bonds in aqueous conditions, a step toward using this type of chemistry inside living cells. Carbon-bond reactions are central to drug and biomolecule synthesis but typically require organic solvents, so a catalyst that tolerates water could open new possibilities for chemical biology and medicine, according to a report by Phys.org.
Why now: The finding points toward new ways to manipulate chemical reactions inside living cells, which interests chemists and biologists.
