Chemistry World October 1, 2010 Hayley Birch	On-off catalyst mimics enzyme function US and Japanese researchers have created an enzyme-like catalyst whose activity can be switched on or off using small molecules.
Chemistry World October 2010	Artificial blood Synthetic alternatives to donor blood have been stuck in development for decades. Nina Notman reports on recent promising progress
Chemistry World October 2010	Column: In the pipeline Derek Lowe investigates the comeback combinatorial chemistry has made in the field of drug discovery
Chemistry World October 2010 Paul Docherty	Barekoxide and barekol Like most scientists, organic chemists can often obsess about a problem, endlessly pursuing the perfect yield or enantioselectivity, often leading to tears and broken glassware.
Chemistry World October 2010	Column: The crucible Understanding the composition and structure of asphalt has immense cost implications for the oil industry, says Philip Ball
Chemistry World October 2010	A renaissance in school chemistry John Holman, former director of the UK's National Science Learning Centre, is optimistic about the current state of chemistry education. But important caveats remain
Chemistry World September 30, 2010 Andrew Turley	Bacteria factories for Taxol precursors Researchers have engineered bacteria to produce precursors of Taxol (paclitaxel), one of the most widely used cancer drugs.
Chemistry World September 30, 2010 James Urquhart	Weightlifting crystals Japanese researchers have created a co-crystal that reversibly bends like human muscle when exposed to ultraviolet and visible light.
Chemistry World September 29, 2010 Hayley Birch	Protein folding: knotted or not A new study may help scientists unravel the complex problem of protein folding. The study suggests knotted proteins, which present a particular challenge to folding experts, could be untied with a couple of well-targeted tugs.
Chemistry World September 28, 2010 Lewis Brindley	Helium nanodroplets host ion analysis Chemists have developed a sensitive new infrared spectroscopy method that analyses molecular ions by capturing them in nanosized bubbles of freezing helium.
