Newswise — The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), part of the National Institutes of Health, supports researchers who are designing new, more efficient chemical reactions that can also aid the environment by preventing waste, reducing energy usage and minimizing the use and creation of hazardous compounds. The new reactions could lead to new research tools and better ways to make medicines.
Because chemistry is vital to many industries, the new reactions could also improve the environmental friendliness of processes used in biotechnology, manufacturing and agriculture.
