2. Molecules of the Month (August 2004)

Nitric Acid: used to synthesize nitrate compounds such as fertilizers and as a cleaner and passivator (anti-corrosion agent) for stainless steel.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): the "energy storage molecules" of cells.

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT): used to prevent fats and oils in foods, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals from becoming rancid through oxidation.

Hydroxyproline: a major component of collagen, the protein that strengthens ligaments and tendons and provides skin elasticity.

Phenylethylamine: neuroamine found in chocolate, is mostly metabolized before it reaches the central nervous system.

4. ChEBI

Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) is a freely available dictionary of ‘small molecular entities’. It includes compounds that are either products of nature or synthetic products used to intervene in the processes of living organisms (either on purpose, as for drugs, or by accident, as for chemicals in the environment) but not molecular entities directly encoded by the genome such as nucleic acids, proteins and peptides derived from proteins by cleavage.

Covers the complete spectrum of the aldol reaction (e.g. Mukaiyama, Henry, Ene and Aldol-Tishchenko reactions)
