Chemistry World March 20, 2007 Tom Westgate	Is Your Lab Ready to go Veggie? In a recently published review article, Geoffrey Cordell demonstrates that the greengrocer's could be an unexpected goldmine of sustainable, cheap reagents that would benefit chemistry in developing countries.
Chemistry World March 20, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Chemical Model Unlocks Key Enzyme's Secrets The precise workings of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), an enzyme that is crucial for all aerobic life, have been unveiled.
Chemistry World March 19, 2007 Jessica Ebert	Pocket-Sized PCR Machine Scientists in the US report being one step closer to designing a miniaturized, portable polymerase chain reaction machine that could be used for applications such as point-of-care diagnostics.
Chemistry World March 19, 2007 Lionel Milgrom	Gallium-Based Antimicrobials Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can be killed with gallium. US researchers used gallium as a 'Trojan horse' to fool bacteria into thinking they were feeding on iron. Bacteria need iron to survive, but they cannot distinguish between iron and gallium.
Chemistry World March 15, 2007 Henry Nicholls	The Mother of All Enzymes Scientists have uncovered the three-dimensional structure of what might be biology's first enzyme. This sheds light on the chemistry at a key moment in the origin of life, they argue.
Chemistry World March 14, 2007 Karen Harries-Rees	Chemistry Gives Winemakers Control Scientists have found links between the chemical composition of Shiraz red wines and their mouthfeel, textural characteristics that could give winemakers greater control.
Chemistry World March 12, 2007	Akzo Nobel Sells Medicines Business to Schering Plough US drug giant Schering-Plough is to buy Dutch chemical company Akzo Nobel's pharmaceuticals and animal health business, Organon BioSciences, for 11 billion euros.
Information Today March 12, 2007 Robert E. Buntrock	Beilstein: Who Owns It and What's Next? A recent acquisition announcement concerning the Beilstein database prompted this investigation into its ownership.
Chemistry World March 9, 2007 Michael Gross	Nanowires go Round the Bend Chemists have bent an apparently linear molecular wire into a closed circle, creating a conducting ring just 3 nanometers across.
Chemistry World March 8, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Researchers Claim Antibiotic Holy Grail Researchers in Canada have revealed the structure of a key enzyme involved in the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. The finding opens up the possibility of developing new and improved antibiotics and overcoming the increasing problem of bacterial resistance to existing drugs.
