A shorter hydrogen bond, for instance, indicates stronger hydrogen bonding and a relatively weaker covalent bond. This was reflected, as expected, in lower spectroscopic frequencies for the H–F ...

The NOS bond is formed under oxidizing conditions. So far, all examples of this type of bond have been identified using protein crystallography, where X-rays are used to image the folded protein ...

The sharing of electrons between atoms is called a covalent bond, which holds the atoms together as a molecule. A covalent bond happens if the attractions are strong enough in both atoms and if each ...

For example, water (H2O) is a covalent compound formed from the reaction between two hydrogen atoms (H) and one oxygen atom (O). The electronegativity of oxygen is higher than that of hydrogen, so ...

Compounds that exhibit a covalent mechanism of action are typically avoided in drug discovery programmes, largely owing to safety concerns. Here, Singh and colleagues present the pharmacological ...

At Redx, scientists decided to focus on compounds that were highly selective for BTK but didn’t make a covalent bond. All the BTK inhibitors have similar structural features, Guisot says.

Millimetre-sized single crystals of covalent organic frameworks have been constructed by taking advantage of a reversible dimerization reaction of nitroso groups.

Researchers recently discovered a form of hydrogen bond so strong it's comparable to the covalent bonds binding hydrogen and oxygen together into water molecules within the droplet. (Image credit ...

Carbon-carbon covalent bonds far more flexible than presumed Date: October 1, 2020 Source: Hokkaido University Summary: A research group has successfully demonstrated that carbon-carbon (C-C ...
