In the study, quaternary compounds exhibited stronger binding affinity to the receptor than their tertiary analogues.

Many researchers analyze quaternary structures to uncover how protein complexes achieve stability and specificity.

The researchers synthesized a new quaternary compound that acts as a bactericidal surfactant because its central nitrogen atom carries a positive charge and is bonded to four organic groups.

Many universities now collaborate with startups in the quaternary sector of the economy to commercialize AI research.

The disinfectant formulation includes a quaternary ammonium compound to kill bacteria on high-touch surfaces.

Hospitals often rely on quaternary ammonium compounds to disinfect surfaces and prevent the spread of infection.
