Ethanol -- the compound found in alcoholic beverages -- interferes with the normal functioning of a long list of biological molecules, but how each of these interactions contributes to the behavioral ...

A team of scientists has directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from ...

Molecular dynamics simulations have become an indispensable tool in deciphering the intricate interplay between alcohol and water at the molecular level. These simulations reveal the diverse ...

This is not the kind of alcohol you can ask for in a cocktail: it's a highly unstable molecule made up of four hydroxyl groups (OH) at a single carbon atom. Its existence was first predicted more than ...

In the US, the most common reason why someone needs a liver transplant is alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). In 2019, this illness was estimated to be responsible for the loss of 11 million ...

Ethanol-water mixtures determine the critical alcohol content of beverages. By employing molecular dynamics simulations and high-frequency proton nuclear magnetic resonance, they could identify ...

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic disease with a cyclical nature; individuals compulsively consume alcohol, lose control over how much they drink, and are in a negative emotional state when they ...
