The ideal of living polymerization has defined research in polymer chemistry over the past 50 years. In this Perspective, we present the case that this concept has enabled the treatment of polymers as ...

The three-dimensional structure adopted by biological macromolecules largely determines their role in different cellular processes. Several different imaging techniques ranging from X-ray ...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are ambient temperature molten salts and have attracted considerable attention because of their unique properties such as nonflammability, negligible volatility, high ionic ...

Macromolecules comprise a growing group of new pharmaceutical products with the potential to treat diseases that heretofore have had no effective therapeutic options. To date, the therapeutic ...

A large number of bioactive compounds have been effectively separated and purified from marine organisms with the deepening of human research on marine drugs (Carroll et al., 2023; Luan et al., 2023).

With the deepening of humanity’s exploration of the ocean, there are many kinds of functional components or bioactive substances in the ocean, which attract more and more people’s attention. The ...

Water, organic molecules, and inorganic ions are the constituents of cells. Water constitutes the greatest fraction of the three, accounting for almost three-quarters of the total mass of a cell. The ...
