Future Implications “We have uncovered the potential capability of chirality memory in helical magnets for next-generation memory devices; it may offer high-density, non-volatile, and highly stable ...

Interestingly, the helicity of the double-helical monometallofoldamer with chiral chains can be controlled in response to achiral solvents. For example, in non-polar solvents (toluene, hexane, Et ...

M/P Helicity Switching and Chiral Amplification in Double-Helical Monometallofoldamers. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2024; 146 (30): 21078 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c06560 ...

Helical proteins are chiral molecules, which means that the molecule’s shape cannot be fitted into its mirror image. In nature helical proteins often have other chiral components, such as sugars ...
