New Catalyst Brings Olefin Metathesis into Biology
Original: New Catalyst Makes Olefin Metathesis Accessible to Biology | Newswise
Researchers have developed a new catalyst that makes olefin metathesis — a powerful chemical reaction for forming carbon-carbon double bonds — work in biological systems, a step long considered out of reach for living environments. The advance could allow chemists to run this widely used industrial reaction inside cells or aqueous biological settings, opening possibilities for drug development and chemical biology. Details of the research are being circulated via Newswise.
Why now: The announcement of a long-sought capability that bridges industrial chemistry and living systems is of high interest to the scientific community.
