It is a paradigm in chemistry that chemical reaction are mainly governed by thermodynamics. Within this assumption, reaction rates can be derived from transition state theory which requires a quasi-equilibrium…
Metallaphotoredox chemistry has recently witnessed a renaissance through the use of abundant first-row transition metals combined with suitable photocatalysts. The intricate details arising from the combination of two (or more)…
Molecular simulations are becoming a common tool for the investigation of dynamic and thermodynamic properties of novel solvents such as ionic liquids and the more recent deep eutectic solvents. As…
SARS-CoV-2 uses its spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) to interact with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on host cells. Inhibitors of the RBD-ACE2 interaction are therefore promising drug candidates…
Femtosecond X-ray pulse lasers are promising probes for elucidating the multi-conformational states of biomolecules because they enable snapshots of single biomolecules to be observed as coherent diffraction images. Multi-image processing…
