Abstract

Hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) play important roles in imparting functionality to the basic molecules of life by stabilizing their structures and directing their interactions. Numerous studies have been devoted to understanding H-bonds involving highly electronegative atoms like nitrogen, oxygen, and halogens and consequences of those H-bonds in chemical reactions, catalysis, and structure and function of biomolecules; but the involvement of less electronegative atoms like sulfur and selenium in H-bond formation establishes the concept of noncanonical H-bonds. Initially belittled for the "weak" nature of their interactions, these perceptions have gradually evolved over time through dedicated efforts by several research groups. This has been facilitated by advancements in experimental methods for their detection through gas-phase laser spectroscopy and solution NMR spectroscopy, as well as through theoretical predictions from high level quantum chemical calculations.In this Account, we present insights into the versatility of the sulfur and selenium centered H-bonds (S/SeCHBs) by highlighting their multifarious applications in various fields from chemical reactions to optoelectronic properties to structural biology. Our group has high...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.
