Copper Clusters: A Light Show in Slow Motion

Copper and iodine can form tiny, cube-shaped structures called cubane-type metal clusters. These tiny cubes can change shape when exposed to light. This is not new, but scientists have struggled to capture these changes in real-time. Recently, researchers used a technique called time-resolved X-ray

Unlocking the Secrets of Styrene Monooxygenases: A Battle of Residues

Styrene monooxygenases are special enzymes that can tell the difference between left and right-handed molecules. These are known as enantiomers. They are part of a bigger family called Group E flavoprotein monooxygenases, or GEMs. These enzymes are great at making one enantiomer more than the other

Metal Magic: How Copper Frameworks Change with Different Ions

Copper-based metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, are special because they can change their structure when exposed to different things. This is because they are flexible and have a long-range order. This is different from other inorganic materials. Imagine a Lego structure that can change shape when y
