Fear of the unknown My mental file drawer labelled 'Terrible Reagents I Have Known' is even larger than the one called 'Lunatics I Have Worked With and their Life-Threatening Ideas'. We organic chemists really do work with some terrible chemicals, and it's up to us to keep them from causing havoc. |

Chemists cull compounds using 'intuition' Medicinal chemists might be using far fewer parameters to choose candidate fragments for a screening collection than they think they do. Their choices can be mimicked based on just one or two properties, a team led by researchers at Swiss-headquarted pharmaceutical firm Novartis has found. |
