Ligand engineering method streamlines design for chemical reactions in catalysis and drug delivery Researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan have developed a technique called Virtual Ligand-Assisted Optimization, or VLAO, to enhance the design and effectiveness of ligands, which are important molecules used in chemical reactions, especially in catalysis. The study, published in the journal ACS Catalysis, details the new approach that streamlines the complex and time-consuming process of ligand engineering.
