Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute have devised a new and widely applicable technique for building potential drug molecules and other organic compounds. The new method, reported in the Jan. 15 issue of the journal Science, enables researchers to add clusters of atoms called carbon fragment or functional groups to certain organic molecules more efficiently, robustly and selectively than current methods typically allow.
