Researchers have discovered the connection between aldehydes, organic compounds produced by cells as part of metabolic processes, and rapid aging. Their findings indicate a potential treatment for ...

A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl group (C=O) to a nitrogen atom. They're so ubiquitous that 117 of the top ...

A new biocatalytic pathway has been engineered that directly converts aldehydes into amides – essential for many drug molecules. The new approach, which uses oxygen from the air and water as the ...

Acute myocardial infarction caused by thrombosis is a major cause of mortality. A polymorphism in aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (Aldh2) rs671 is found in approximately 30% to 50% of East Asians, and it is ...

Alcohols and aldehydes represent two key classes of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs). This work seeks to better understand their possible chemical connections, with a focus on such ...
