Psilocybin is a chemical synthesis of the active component in a Mexican mushroom which is used in Indian magic rites.
Knowledge of this chemical feed-back mechanism may point to a new and extremely important type of genetic control of biological systems--the regulation of the synthesis of enzymes. The control apparatus can be compared to the operation of an automated factory in which the product-output is regulated in...
Using this system of "ion synthesis." R.P.I, chemists have taken nitrogen dioxide gas (NO2) and ionized it by squirting it against an electrically charged metal plate at one end of a vacuum tube. As soon as the gas molecules pick up electric charges, they respond to electrical forces and are...
Nitrobenzene is not a desirable rocket fuel; its production was shown only as a demonstration. But R.P.I, chemists are confident that their complex synthesis process can also make exotic high-energy fuels that cannot be manufactured in any other way-fuels with unfamiliar names that are now only whispered because...
Dr. Schramm started his synthesis with chemicals that were probably dissolved in the ancient ocean before life appeared. Some of them were simple sugars, amino acids or nucleotides (small molecules contained in nucleic acids). Perhaps the most important were phosphorus compounds called polyphosphate esters. Dr. Schramm believes that all of...
