Case Solved: The Biosynthesis of Strychnine

Researchers from Jena show how the poison nut tree forms strychnine. A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena disclosed the complete biosynthetic pathway for the formation of strychnine in the plant species Strychnos nux-vomica...

Potential energy surfaces of water mapped

Liquids are more difficult to describe than gases or crystalline solids. An HZB team has now mapped the potential energy surfaces of water molecules in liquid water under ambient conditions for the first time at the Swiss Light Source SLS of the Paul Scherrer...
