A paper titled "Functional implications of unusual NOS and SONOS covalent linkages found in proteins," by Matthew D. Lloyd, Kyle S. Gregory, and K. Ravi Acharya, from the University of Bath Department ...

There are three types of bonds in chemistry: ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. In this article, we will look at the differences between ionic and covalent bonds. Chemical bonding is the force of ...

Chemical probes that form a covalent bond with a protein target often show enhanced selectivity, potency and utility for biological studies. Despite these advantages, protein-reactive compounds are ...

Silica has a giant covalent structure containing silicon atoms (grey) and oxygen atoms (red) Learn more on properties of giant covalent compounds in this podcast. Listen to the full series on BBC ...

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two. Its properties raise ...

When most small-molecule drugs meet a protein target, they nestle close to their intended. But the flirtatious relationship between drug and target is often fleeting, with the drug repeatedly drifting ...
