Academic research seldom has swift results. 'The Breakthrough' series at Ukrant is about that moment the puzzle pieces do fall into place. Adri Minnaard is futured on Episode 2: Organic chemist Adri Minnaard has finally succeeded in replicating an ichneumon wasp molecule.
For the first time, a number of substances from the mushroom family Ganoderma have been combined in a total synthesis. Read all about it in our article in the European Journal of Organic Chemistry. The Ganoderma mushrooms have been used in traditional East Asian medicine for over 2000 years and more than 900 substances have [...]
