Chemistry World February 3, 2011 Ben Merison	The mystery of the disappearing crystals UK chemists have analysed a fifty year old sample to find out why and say that it's down to impurities. This takes researchers a step closer to understanding why certain pharmaceutical drugs lose their therapeutic effect.
Chemistry World February 2, 2011 Elinor Richards	Gold going it alone Spanish scientists have proved that gold alone can catalyse cross-coupling reactions following a claim made last year that palladium impurities in the gold are essential for the catalysis.
Chemistry World February 1, 2011 Elinor Richards	Compounds to combat cold sores New compounds to fight the herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores, have been made by researchers from Italy.
Chemistry World February 2011	Rehabilitating captured CO2 Rather than burying it underground, companies are developing processes that use carbon dioxide emissions as chemical starting materials. Andy Extance investigates
Chemistry World February 2011	Column: In the pipeline Enzymes have been giving chemists inferiority complexes since day one, says Derek Lowe. But there's no denying their potential
Chemistry World February 2011	Column: The crucible Tears are surprisingly complex structures, an investment that surely must have some payoff. They are not just salty water, but contain enzymes and other proteins, lipids and metabolites.
Chemistry World February 2011 Paul Docherty	Column: Totally Synthetic Although most of the natural products I've discussed have had biological activity at the core of the rationale for their synthesis, most organic chemists will admit that an unusual chemical structure is by far the stronger draw.
Chemistry World February 2011	My hero: The greatest influences of chemistry Nobel laureates Aaron Ciechanover, who won the 2004 Nobel prize in chemistry with Avram Hershko and Irwin Rose for the discovery of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation, talks about Charles Darwin.
Chemistry World January 30, 2011 Mike Brown	Electrons charge down DNA molecular wire US researchers have shown for the first time that a 34nm long DNA strand can be used as a molecular wire to conduct electricity.
Chemistry World January 30, 2011 Simon Hadlington	Nanotubes protect brain tissue from stroke damage Researchers in Korea and the US have shown that modified carbon nanotubes can protect brain tissue from the damage caused by ischaemic stroke, where the blood supply to the brain is interrupted.
