Uranium-nitride discovery throws up surprise insight into chemical bonding

Uranium-nitride discovery throws up surprise insight into chemical bonding

Description
Published in the leading journal Nature Chemistry, recent work by David King, a PhD student in the research group led by Dr Steve Liddle, has shown that uranium can engage in chemical bonding that is surprisingly covalent. Remarkably, the findings have shown that uranium can behave in much the same way as its counterparts in the well-known transitional metals such as chromium, molybdenum and tungsten.

Pioneering chemists are taking part in the biggest-ever European research programme

Description
Pioneering chemists from The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ are taking part in the biggest-ever European research programme to speed up the discovery of new drugs. The scientists will be working with leading drug discovery services partner, Sygnature Discovery in BioCity Nottingham, as part of a new European Lead Factory – a huge innovative collaboration between several of Europe's largest pharmaceutical companies, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and academic researchers. The project will bring €6.2m from the European project into the City of Nottingham.

ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ reveals the secret to a sea sponge's toxicity

ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ reveals the secret to a sea sponge's toxicity

Description
The solution to a biochemical puzzle over the molecular make-up of a coral reef sea sponge (Theonella swinhoei) has revealed the origin of its extremely toxic agents. A team of international scientists, including academics at The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´, have discovered that polytheonamides — highly toxic and chemically complex compounds which are key to the sponge's defences — are produced by the organism in disguise. And in a final twist they found that the polytheonamides are not even made by the sponge itself but by a bacterium living with it in symbiosis.
