The willingness of the 4f orbitals of lanthanide metals to participate in chemical reactions is as rare as their presence in Earth's crust. A recent study, however, witnessed the 4f orbital in a ...
The membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin is a proton pump, in which proton transport is initiated by the light-induced isomerization of the chromophore retinal. The molecular quantum states involved in ...
Lactulose, a synthetic disaccharide derived from lactose, is garnering significant attention due to its prebiotic and therapeutic properties. Traditionally produced by alkaline isomerization, recent ...
