In a stunning decision that defies all expert advice and scientific evidence, the influential group that shapes US vaccine policy will no longer recommend that all infants receive the hepatitis B vacc...

Optimal control-derived saturation pulses allow 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy covering spectral ranges in the MHz range. Next to a multitude of nuclei even multinuclear spectra are possible.

Nearly 2,000 scientists urged that Congress restore funding to federal agencies decimated by recent cuts.

In early 2020, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) infections leading to COVID-19 disease reached a global level leading to the World Health Organization (WHO) declaration of ...

CCR6 is a chemokine receptor that mediates the migration of pathogenic inflammatory leukocytes to sites of inflammation in response to its ligand, CCL20. Herein we report the design of a potent CCR6 antagonist capable of inhibiting the chemotactic migration of CCR6+ T cells in vitro. Key to this finding was the discovery of a remarkable methyl substituent effect on antagonist potency. A 365-fold improvement in potency was observed for the cis-2-methylcyclohexanamine analogue compared to the unsubstituted cyclohexanamine derivative. Evidence generated through the characterization of conformationally restricted analogues supports the conclusion that the large potency enhancement is the result of the methyl substituent biasing the cyclohexane ring ground state conformation to favor that of the bound ligand and thus decreasing the ligand strain energy.

During his confirmation hearings, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services showed that his dangerous views on vaccines and science haven’t changed.
