Decoding Charge‑Site Isomerism in Flavonoids through Cyclic Ion Mobility–MS and Computational Modeling

Flavonoids are natural plant compounds that come in many very similar forms, which makes them hard to tell apart. In this study, researchers in the Chen lab used an advanced technique called cyclic ion mobility mass spectrometry to better separate and identify these look‑alike molecules.

UBC Scientists Transform a Deadly Mushroom Compound into a Platform for Cancer Drug Development

Building on a concept first described by chemists Ryan Shenvi and Dale Boger as “supernatural products,” UBC Chemistry researchers are exploring how making natural molecules in the laboratory can open the door to something new. Rather than simply...
