This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Understanding the habitat requirements of imperiled flora is critical for informing ex situ conservation practices, designing effective reintroduction strategies, and understanding how climate change will impact such species, especially in montane regions with high levels of environmental heterogeneity. In southern Appalachia, USA, the
