Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can dynamically change their conformations depending on their external environment and can, therefore, bind to different compounds. However, they are difficult ...

Every crystal's shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of its molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable crystals can expand, twist and change properties—from their color to their ...

UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in ...

The title compound, N-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-8-fluoro-5-methoxy-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine-2-sulfonamide (Florasulam), a triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide herbicide, was investigated using ...

When synthesizing a material in a particular composition, one wants to confirm whether the intended crystal structure is successfully synthesized as a crystalline phase. An XRD (X-ray diffraction) ...

Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...

A software workflow automates X-ray analysis to spot crystal defects in diamond and advanced semiconductors, helping improve ...

This research uncovered a previously unknown polymorph (κ-form) of indomethacin, a widely used pain relief and anti-inflammatory drug. The research team also conducted structural analysis and ...

CDVAE, a symmetry-aware generative AI framework that embeds space-group information into the generation of crystal structures ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...
