Chemistry World June 2009 Paul Docherty	Column: Totally Synthetic With potent bacteria-beating activity, it's no surprise that kendomycin has recently grabbed quite a bit of attention.
Chemistry World June 1, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Wider therapeutic possibilities for botulinum toxin Change to a single amino acid in botulinum toxin A causes it to target non-neuronal signalling proteins, potentially widening the product's therapeutic applications
Chemistry World June 1, 2009 Lewis Brindley	Bile acid helps form 'twisted ribbon' nano-structures Molecules that can self-assemble into unique nano-sized structures - such as ribbons resembling microscopic twists of pasta - have been made by Chinese scientists.
Chemistry World May 31, 2009 Nina Notman	New probe promises ozone answers Chemists in the US have devised a single-molecule fluorescent probe that is selective for ozone, which they hope will help address controversy over claims that cells can produce ozone.
Chemistry World May 31, 2009 Nina Notman	The natural approach to winning at drug discovery High throughput drug screening is often described as a casino, with the odds stacked on the side of success as long as a big enough library is used.
Chemistry World May 28, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Nanotube transistors swing both ways Researchers have combined titanium dioxide nanoparticles with carbon nanotubes to make light-sensitive transistors that can be made either to switch on or off in response to UV light.
Chemistry World May 26, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Salt nanowire surprise Common table salt - normally a brittle crystalline material - can be pulled into nanowires that will extend by more than twice their own length without breaking
Chemistry World May 26, 2009 Nina Notman	Wine's chemical memory European researchers have discovered that even 10 years after bottling, wine still holds the chemical signature of the forest from which the barrel used to age it was made.
Chemistry World May 26, 2009 Hayley Birch	A concrete solution to climate change? A better understanding of how carbon dioxide is absorbed by concrete could help scientists accelerate absorption processes and offset a greater proportion of the emissions from cement production
Chemistry World May 24, 2009 Nina Notman	Toxic mushroom molecule discovered A simple compound containing a highly strained three-carbon ring has been found to be the toxic culprit in a highly poisonous Asian mushroom.
