Elements and Compounds: Understanding elements and compounds is basic knowledge to study chemistry. Elements are the basic building blocks of matter, while compounds are substances formed when two or ...

Chemical reactions occur when elements or compounds combine and create new compounds. Elements are substances that contain only one type of atom and are represented by unique symbols on the periodic ...

The idea behind the caging technique is that a molecule of interest can be rendered biologically inert (or caged) by chemical modification with a photoremovable protecting group (Fig. 1). Illumination ...

Protheragen has expanded its 13C/14C-labeled compound portfolio to support research in metabolic pathways, pharmacokinetics, breath assays, and biochemical tracing. The expanded lineup improves ...

There are lots of different substances but only just over a hundred elements. An element is a substance that is made up of only one kind of atom. The atoms in a particular element are the same as each ...
