A Three-Buckyball Platform to Synthesize Structurally Defined Water-Soluble Metallofullerene Derivatives

Invention Summary: Fullerenes, an allotrope of carbon, are polyhedral closed cages. Fullerenes are able to host additional atoms within their inner spheres. Fullerenes hosting electropositive metals (e.g. Sc, Gd, La), known as endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), are especially interesting as the encapsulated metals provide additional...

Therapeutics for Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infections: Inhibitors of Bacterial RNA Polymerase

Invention Summary: Bacterial infectious diseases kill 100,000 persons each year in the US and 11 million persons each year worldwide, representing nearly a fifth of deaths each year worldwide. For six decades, antibiotics have been our bulwark against bacterial infectious diseases. However, now this bulwark is collapsing. For all major bacterial...
