Chemists make breakthrough in drug discovery chemistry

Summary: Chemists offer two new methods to develop a way to easily replace a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom in a molecule. The findings could make it easier to develop new drugs.


The scientists pointed out that both solutions involved a bit of serendipity and invention.

"To me, this is a great example of the creativity that you need in order to make breakthroughs in chemistry," said Levin. "In both we had precipitating events that gave us a glimpse of something unusual, and that gave us a foothold we could work from."

The discovery was made by a team led by University of Arizona astronomer Laird Close and Richelle van Capelleveen, a graduate student at Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands. To spot this elusive planet, the researchers used some of the most advanced adaptive optics instruments in the world, including the University of Arizona’s MagAO-X system at the Magellan Telescope in Chile, the Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona, and the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile.


“Our MagAO-X adaptive optics system is optimized like no other to work well at the H-alpha wavelength, so you can separate the bright starlight from the faint protoplanet,” Close said. “Around WISPIT 2 you likely have two planets and four rings and four gaps. It’s an amazing system.”
