- Their discovery expands the toolkit for building complex 3D molecules, a key goal in modern drug development.
- Credit: AI/ScienceDaily. com Organic chemistry relies on long established rules that describe how atoms connect, how chemical bonds form, and how molecules take shape.
- These principles guide how scientists understand reactions and predict molecular behavior.
- While many of these rules are treated as fixed truths, researchers at UCLA are showing that chemistry has more flexibility than once believed.
