The IUPAC described this technology as “low-sugar vaccinations.”

Key Points: 
  • The IUPAC described this technology as “low-sugar vaccinations.”
    Glycans are long, branched sugar molecules that are commonly attached to viral surface proteins.
  • But the glycan coating can also contribute to the immune response.
  • Finally, Zhu decided to remove most (but not all) of the glycan shield through an enzymatic process.
  • “We congratulate Prof. Zhu and his team at Scripps Research on this recognition of their innovative work in HIV vaccine design and chemistry.

Group , a leading provider of advanced filtration solutions, launches IN-EX, a medical-grade, scientifically-proven solution for indoor air safety.

Key Points: 
  • Group , a leading provider of advanced filtration solutions, launches IN-EX, a medical-grade, scientifically-proven solution for indoor air safety.
  • Yet transit represents just one part of the puzzlea particular emphasis needs to be placed on medical services and first responders.
  • Group has developed and launched IN-EX, the first scientifically-proven indoor air quality solution.
  • IN-EX is an easy-to-install cabin air filter which transforms your air conditioning unit into an active air purifier, applicable for cars, buses (and other public transportation), ambulances, and taxis.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE CENTER, N.C., Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has released the results of the search for the 2021 Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry.

Key Points: 
  • RESEARCH TRIANGLE CENTER, N.C., Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has released the results of the search for the 2021 Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry.
  • The Jury, a selection of international experts, identified different emerging technologies, scientific advances in between a discovery and a fully-commercialized idea, with outstanding potential to open new opportunities in chemistry, sustainability, and beyond.
  • Note that this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Benjamin List and David MacMillan for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis - one of the Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry selected in 2019.
  • Freely available in the IUPAC journal Pure and Applied Chemistry is a special topic paper by Benjamin List entitled "Organocatalysis Emerging as a Technology," see: https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2021-0501
