Biochemistry News Stories
Current Biochemistry News Events, Discoveries and Articles
DNA molecules in moss open door to new biotechnology
Plasmids, which are DNA molecules capable of independent replication in cells, have played an important role in gene technology. (2009-11-09)
Pathogen protection and virulence: Dark side of fungal membrane protein revealed
Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech and Montana State University have discovered a fungal protein that plays a key role in causing disease in plants and animals and which also shields the pathogen from oxidative stress. (2009-11-09)
That '4 hour erection': new discovery may help prevent a complication of priapism
For men coping with painful erections lasting for long periods of time, or priapism, new research published online in The FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org) offers hope. (2009-10-27)
Alcohol activates cellular changes that make tumor cells spread
Alcohol consumption has long been linked to cancer and its spread, but the underlying mechanism has never been clear. (2009-10-27)
Alzheimer's lesions found in the retina
The eyes may be the windows to the soul, but new research indicates they also may mirror a brain ravaged by Alzheimer's disease. (2009-10-22)
Scientists visualize assembly line gears in ribosomes, cell's protein factory
Even as research on the ribosome, one of the cell's most basic machines, is recognized with a Nobel Prize, scientists continue to achieve new insights on the way ribosomes work. (2009-10-16)
Researchers discover RNA repair system in bacteria
In new papers appearing this month in Science and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, University of Illinois biochemistry professor Raven H. Huang and his colleagues describe the first RNA repair system to be discovered in bacteria. (2009-10-13)
Enzyme may be a key to Alzheimer's-related cell death
A Purdue University researcher has discovered that the amount of an enzyme present in neurons can affect the mechanism thought to cause cell death in Alzheimer's disease patients and may have applications for other diseases such as stroke and heart attack. (2009-10-08)
Monash research cautions against use of anti-oxidants
An international team of scientists, led by Monash University researchers, has found that anti-oxidants commonly touted for their health-promoting benefits, could contribute to the early onset of Type 2 diabetes. (2009-10-07)
Protein helps cells duplicate correctly, avoid becoming cancer
A Purdue University researcher has discovered that the absence of certain proteins needed for proper cell duplication can lead to cancer. (2009-10-06)
