Chemistry World June 10, 2009 James Urquhart	Enzyme employs unusual cleavage reaction The mechanism of an unusual carbon bond cleavage reaction in the biosynthetic pathway of phosphinothricin tripeptide (PTT) - a naturally occurring herbicide and antibiotic compound - has been elucidated by US scientists
Chemistry World June 10, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Nanotubes boost plant pollutants UK researchers have shown that carbon nanotubes can pierce plant root cells, providing a rapid route for other pollutants to infiltrate the cellular structure of plants.
Chemistry World June 9, 2009 Simon Hadlington	Super sponges soak up gas Researchers in the US have shown that a recently discovered class of compound based on light elements can store gas at least as efficiently as the most promising metal organic framework candidates.
Chemistry World June 7, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Pd(III) catalysis insight The discovery of a bimetallic palladium(III) complex that can catalyse the formation of carbon-heteroatom bonds adds a new facet to our understanding of the chemistry of one of the most widely-used metals in catalysis, say US chemists.
Chemistry World June 5, 2009 Nina Notman	Color e-books just over the page E Ink Corporation is to be brought by Prime View International in Taiwan for approximately $215 million. The companies say this should speed to market the colored ink devices that are currently being trialled.
Chemistry World June 4, 2009 Phillip Broadwith	Natural quasicrystals discovered Scientists have discovered a rare form of solid - a quasicrystal - in a rock sample from Russia's Koryak mountains.
Chemistry World June 4, 2009 Nina Notman	Nanocrystal growth process revealed Research by US scientists has shed light on precisely how nanocrystals grow, providing key information that could help improve fuel cells of the future.
Chemistry World June 4, 2009 Rebecca Trager	US regulator rethink on BPA The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is revisiting its stance that bisphenol A is safe at current exposure levels.
Chemistry World June 2009 Michael Gross	Bubble-wrapped frogs Tropical frogs create remarkable protein foams to protect their spawn. Exploration of the underlying chemistry has only just begun
Chemistry World June 2009 Lord Drayson	World-leading research In the current climate - not just the downturn, but the reality of intense global competition - UK research chemists must join forces with business and government to exploit our abundant talent and potential.
