The image compares reactive dynamics and reaction profile analysis. On the left, a 3D plot with colorful trajectories represents reactive dynamics, labeled with "AIQM2" in red and "DFT" in blue. Below, "Overnight" is written in red and "160 CPU-years" in blue, indicating computational efficiency. On the right, a reaction profile graph shows two curves—black and blue—with an error bar. Text below reads "Error ± (uncertainty) ≈ 1 kcal/mol" in red and "Error > 1 kcal/mol" in blue, highlighting differences in accuracy.

A promotional image for the upcoming Chemical Science symposium, on the subject of imaging, biosensing and diagnostics. The image shows a black background and on the right hand side is a stylised image of an unwanted cell with dendritic extensions, shown in red. It has a purple targeting reticule showing that it is being aimed at for treatment. Surrounding the red cell are a number of blue cells, conveying selective targeting. On the left hand side of the image is text for the Royal Society of Chemistry, along with the logo of the society, which is a stylised “C”. Other text states “Chemical Science symposium, 18-19 November 2025, London, UK” and “Save the date”.

Interesting conclusions in this paper!

"The potential energy differences between “forbidden” and “allowed” transition states are found to cover a wide range of values, with the smallest being less than half the classical barrier to internal rotation of […]

A graphical abstract image for a paper in Chemical Science that has been chosen as a ChemSci Pick of the Week. The paper reports that the classification of forbidden and allowed may not be useful with some forbidden transition states being energetically less costly to reach that rotational barriers within ethane.

A graphical abstract image for the Chemical Science Pick of the Week, showing the steps involved in the creation of a new molecular glue inhibitor. The scheme shows how an accessory protein, undruggable protein and focused small molecule library are utilised together to undertake screening to find an initial hit for a potential molecular glue inhibitor that is then tuned via rational design based on the crystal structure.
