First synthethic path for tuberculosis & chikungunya inhibiting flavonoid molecules deciphered

by

Flavonoid molecules, like rugosaflavonoids, podocarflavone, and isoflavone found to inhibit tuberculosis and chikungunya, have so far been isolated from plants. For the first time, scientists have unearthed the route to synthesize the molecules in the lab, paving the path for ensuring their availability at all seasons without overexploiting the medicinal plants that contain them.

Astronomers observe cosmic steam jets and molecules galore

by

The ALMA telescope in Chile has transformed how we see the universe, showing us otherwise invisible parts of the cosmos. This array of incredibly precise antennas studies a comparatively high-frequency sliver of radio light: waves that range from a few tenths of a millimeter to several millimeters in length. Recently, scientists pushed ALMA to its … Read more

Organic molecules on Saturn’s moon indicate possibility of life

by

Researchers, who used data from the NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, think chemical reactions between the moon’s rocky core and warm water from its subsurface ocean are linked to these complex molecules. “We are, yet again, blown away by Enceladus. Previously we’d only identified the simplest organic molecules containing a few carbon atoms, but even that was … Read more
