New paper out! 📄
We refined our single-NOESY method for bicalutamide in scCO₂.
Result: 24% open / 76% closed conformers — consistent with earlier work ✅ Robust methodology confirmed.

Rotating anodes are similar in cost to solution NMR, but crystallography often gives clearer answers and more detailed structures. Simon Coles shares why crystallography is a powerful tool in structural chemistry. The full interview link is in the comments.

Thanks to rotating anode advances, home labs now rival synchrotrons. As Simon Coles says, if diffraction fails in Southampton, it likely won't show at Diamond either. Full interview link in comments.
