Unlocking Enzyme Synthesis of Rare Sugars to Create Drugs with Fewer Side Effects
Posted in: 2014 Highlights, Scientific Highlights,
A team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has unlocked the enzymatic synthesis process of rare sugars, which are useful in developing drugs with low side effects using a process more friendly to the environment. In a paper published in Structure, the research team reported the pioneering use of neutron
