Approximately two decades after the first pioneering analyses, the study of shape asymmetry
with the methods of geometric morphometrics has matured and is a burgeoning field. New …

The dawn of the 21st century has brought with it a surge of research related to computer-
guided approaches to catalyst design. In the past two decades, chemoinformatics, the …

Three billion years of evolution has produced a tremendous diversity of protein molecules,
but the full potential of proteins is likely to be much greater. Accessing this potential has …

Chirality depends on particular symmetries. For crystal structures it describes the absence of
mirror planes and inversion centers, and in addition to translations, only rotations are …

A systematic study of the stereochemistry of the coordination sphere of transition metal
compounds has been carried out recently from the point of view of the continuous shape …

The continuous symmetry measures approach, designed to assess quantitatively the degree
of any symmetry within any structure, is extended to the important class of the polyhedra. For …

A stereochemical study of polyhedral eight‐vertex structures is presented, based on
continuous shape measures (CShM). Reference polyhedra, shape maps, and minimal …

Multitopic organic linkers can provide a means to organize metal cluster nodes in a regular
three‐dimensional array. Herein, we show that isonicotinic acid N‐oxide (HINO) serves as …

Because of their remarkable and unmatched optical and magnetic properties, the
lanthanides are under the limelight when it comes to high technology. These elements are …

Fluctuating asymmetry consists of random deviations from perfect symmetry in populations
of organisms. It is a measure of developmental noise, which reflects a population's average …
