HOUSTON, June 23 -- Rice University issued the following news release:
A team led by Rice University scientists has improved the production of a potent anti-tumor antibiotic known as uncialamycin.
The Rice lab of synthetic chemist K.C. Nicolaou announced this month it had streamlined the total synthesis of uncialamycin to make it simpler to create novel variations of the molecule. Such variations could allow the substance, which is too toxic in its original form, to . . .
