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 ...

Instructions 1 Engage Step 1 Show an animation to introduce the process of covalent bonding. Introduce the question students will investigate in this lesson: If atoms have an equal number of protons ...

Compounds that exhibit a covalent mechanism of action are typically avoided in drug discovery programmes, largely owing to safety concerns. Here, Singh and colleagues present the pharmacological ...

In the battle against B-cell cancers, drugs that target the enzyme Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) have transformed treatment. Before the first BTK inhibitor, ibrutinib, came on the market in 2013 ...

Although drugs that make covalent bonds with their biological targets are as old as the pharmaceutical industry, intentionally designing molecules that make such bonds is relatively new. Over the ...

Researchers recently discovered a form of hydrogen bond so strong it's comparable to the covalent bonds binding hydrogen and oxygen together into water molecules within the droplet.

A research group has successfully demonstrated that carbon-carbon (C-C) covalent bonds expand and contract flexibly in response to light and heat. This unexpected flexibility of C-C bonds could ...

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.
