This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Americans Robert Lefkowitz and Brian Kobilka for their studies of G protein coupled receptors. These receptors are involved in cell-cell and long-distance signaling in our organisms. Moreover, they are so important for most physiological processes in human beings that practically half of our medications act through them. Studying these receptors at a molecular level is an extremely complex task but today, through the work of these two researchers, we have gained a better understanding of the mechanisms by which these receptors operate

From Hamlet to common thieves, Scopolamine is a molecule used highly both in fiction and in the real world with dubious intentions.

Although we may think that studies of archaeological and artistic objects are mainly historical or stylistic, a chemical approach can also provide important information about them.  In a country like ours, with a vast cultural heritage, a chemist can do a lot to further our knowledge of these objects and to help in their conservation.

Short review of the most important and interesting sections of the popular science book that we strongly recommend: “Gut. The Inside Story of Our Body´s Most Underrated Organ”.

Quinine, present in the bark of the cinchona tree, native to the South American Andes, is one of the natural medicines that has saved more lives in the history of humanity. Its economic importance, as a treatment for malaria, generated a search for its synthetic route. This promoted the development of organic synthesis and marked the beginning of industrial organic chemistry. Quinine, a compound so connected not only with the history of Peru but also with that of organic synthesis, was highlighted in the XXII Ibero-American Chemistry Olympiad-2017.
