Figure 1 | The reverse-metabolomics approach. a, Reverse metabolomics consists of synthesizing molecules and then analysing them using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS).

Robust high-throughput synthesis methods are needed to expand the repertoire of repetitive protein-polymers for different applications. To address this need, we developed a new method, overlap ...

You can't hear it, not exactly, but it's in almost every song on the radio. It's a 30-year-old technology that hasn't changed much over the years but is now used in ways that its creators likely ...

The good news is that the best judgment of the researchers is that synthesizing pathogens like the smallpox virus is still too complicated for would-be bioterrorists.
