In Japan, puffer fish is considered a delicacy, but the tickle to the taste buds comes with a tickle to the nerves: fugu contains tetrodotoxin, a strong nerve toxin. In low doses, tetrodotoxin is ...
A small international team of researchers has developed a way to synthesize tetrodotoxin (TTX) using far fewer steps than prior methods. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group ...
Researchers have discovered a concise way to synthesize a “biosynthetic and ecological enigma” that has intrigued chemists and biologists for more than a century: tetrodotoxin (TTX), a potent natural ...
