Molecule of the Month - July - Thalidomide

[Paul May]

Hi,

July's MOTM is the notorious drug, thalidomide.  The pages have been
written by one of the undergraduates here at Bristol, and include a nice
introductory discussion on various types of isomerism, including the
optical isomerism that was responsible for thalidomide's side-effects.

It's only available in HTML format, but 3D structure files of most of the
molecules on the pages are available via hyperlink.
