RADICAL CHEMISTRY STABILISES THE WORLD’S SMALLEST LASSO

RADICAL CHEMISTRY STABILISES THE WORLD’S SMALLEST LASSO The world’s smallest lasso has been created by scientists in Saudi Arabia and the US. The molecular device threads through itself, forming a reversible noose, in response to chemical and electronic stimuli. The research team, led by 2016 Nobel prize-winner Fraser Stoddart of Northwestern University, were inspired by naturally occurring lasso peptides – […]
