Amino acids are molecules fundamental to living organisms because they combine to build proteins, the workhorses of the cell. One metabolic pathway that produces amino acids involves transamination, a ...

Non-metal chemistry encompasses the study of elements and compounds that, by virtue of their electronic configurations and bonding characteristics, do not exhibit metallic properties. This field spans ...

Chemists have long known that catalytic Lewis acidic and Lewis basic sites on metal and metal oxide surfaces help spark a range of reactions that are important in industrial chemical and fuel ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

A range of production processes frequently employ acid mixtures comprised of two or three acids; for example, nitric acids, sulfuric acids and hydrochloric acids. In order to use these acids safely ...
