New biologically derived metal-organic framework mimics DNA

Scientists have synthesized a new MOF that mimics DNA's hydrogen-bonding interactions between adenine and thymine. The MOF successfully traps thymine molecules, allowing researchers to catalyze a chemical reaction and isolate di-thymine, related to skin cancer.

Chemists uncover how key agent allows diseases to reproduce

Scientists have discovered the molecular mechanism behind thyX's role in enabling diseases to reproduce. The finding could lead to the creation of non-toxic antibiotics that block the chemical reaction involving thyX. Several deadly diseases rely exclusively on thyX for survival and reproduction.

Genetic factor contributes to forgetfulness

Researchers found a connection between the DRD2 gene variant and everyday lapses in attention, including forgetfulness. The study suggests that individuals with this genetic variation are more likely to experience short-term memory lapses and distraction, which can have consequences in daily life.
