| 1983 (Volume 14, No. 1) | Biomimetic Chemistry -- Chemistry Special: Doing What Comes Naturally | Though they lack many of nature's tools and don't fully understand many of its pathways, biomimetic chemists seek to produce biochemical reactions synthetically in environments as benign as nature's. | Leslie Roberts | PDF |
| 1983 (Volume 14, No. 1) | Carbon-one -- Chemistry Special: Take a Carbon Atom and... | Variations on a theme--the chemistry of carbon monoxide--are widening opportunities for producing fuels and chemicals from coal instead of petroleum. A taxonomy of reactions | Norman Metzger | PDF |
| 1983 (Volume 14, No. 1) | Computerized Design -- Chemistry Special: Computers and Molecular Design | The application of artificial intelligence to problems of chemical analysis and syntheses is having dramatic impact on many operations that were once tedious and prohibitively time consuming. | William Cromie | PDF |
| 1983 (Volume 14, No. 1) | Hypervalent Molecules -- Chemistry Special: Molecules That Break the Rules | A burst of research on hypervalent molecules is advancing bonding theory and multiplying potential applications in industry and medicine. The chemical bond in brief. | Kenneth Reese | PDF |
| 1983 (Volume 14, No. 1) | Leukotrienes -- Chemistry Special: Leukotrienes and the Teams that Tamed them | Many research groups contributed to the unraveling and synthesis of sister molecules to the prostaglandins. More will contribute applications. | Joanne Rodgers | PDF |
| 1983 (Volume 14, No. 1) | Membranes -- Chemistry Special: Membranes: Research for Development | Use is a powerful goad to membrane development and a stimulus to understanding of membrane form and function. | Jeffrey Fox | PDF |
| 1983 (Volume 14, No. 1) | Synthetic Enzymes -- Chemistry Special: Making (like) an Enzyme | Chemists are finding that `enzyme reactions are not magical but are chemically explicable and to a limited degree copyable outside the cell.` Miscelles, reverse miscelles, and vesicles | Norman Metzger | PDF |
