When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction's transition state -- the point of no return from which a reaction must proceed.

Cells copy their DNA, catalyze chemical reactions, and replicate, thanks to complex biomolecules refi ned over billions of years of evolution. And, complex or not, these biomolecules are still just ...
