- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 487, Issue 7406) Peer-ReviewedChemists tend to think about the ways in which molecules behave--the shapes they are most likely to adopt, the molecular partners with which they are most likely to bind, or the rates and outcomes of their reactions--in...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 487, Issue 7406) Peer-ReviewedDNA synthesis has been extensively studied, but the chemical reaction itself has not been visualized. Here we follow the course of phosphodiester bond formation using time-resolved X-ray crystallography. Native human...
