I was hoping this would be a printing mistake it's unbelievable. If not this is the time to leave pipettes and protest against this hike. Otherwise they keep on imposing things which will destroy the future of science in India.
Customs duties for lab chemicals have jumped from 10% to 150%. Yes, 150%.
Chemical of worth Rs.10K would now come with Rs.25K.
Then add GST on equipments and chemicals, that were increased from 5% to 18%.
And research funding? You must have seen the budget.
Won't we resist?

In @ACSCentSci, we report two chimeric molecule platforms to induce tyrosine phosphorylation, a critical PTM. Chimeras (formed by fusing target and kinase binders) force kinase to phosphorylate non-substrate via induced proximity

Phosphorylation inducing chimeric small molecules (PHICs) to induce targeted phosphorylation on a neo-substrate. Advance in this paper is proof of concept that PHICs can be developed from standard kinase inhibitors by using cysteine transfer chemistry! https://t.co/M3FHIoBC1P
These silicon-based ionophores were more potent and selective towards bacterial cells (vs. human) than zinc-pyrithione, a commonly used ionophore (e.g., in shampoo). Overall, we describe a platform for the rational design of ionophores from chelators using silyl groups.
Out in @angew_chem our paper about the rational design of ionophores, the small molecules that can transport metal ions into cells. Ionophores have widespread applications but remain underdeveloped.
