Chemists have discovered a new class of molecules. In a new article, they outline pretzel-like molecules consisting of two molecular rings 'oppositely' coupled at a central carbon atom. The discovery is an important step towards synthesis of lasso peptides, and the new molecules have a potential use as medicines, say investigators.
