Olefin metathesis is an organic reaction that entails the redistribution of fragments of alkenes (olefins) by the scission and regeneration of carbon-carbon double bonds.[1] Catalysts for this reac...
Small molecules that target type II topoisomerase are divided into two classes: inhibitors and poisons. Inhibitors of type II topoisomerase include HU-331, ICRF-187, ICRF-193, and mitindomide. T...
Fusion proteins or chimeric proteins (literally, made of parts from different sources) are proteins created through the joining of two or more genes that originally coded for separate proteins. Tra...
