rotein folding: Building a strong foundation
Like a 1950's Detroit automaker, it appears that nature prefers to build its proteins around a solid, sturdy chassis. view more (2006-09-18)
Diabetes research at UH 'crystalizes' with major finding
A University of Houston professor and his student have made a major discovery in the field of diabetes research and diagnosis, finding a new mechanism for the formation of insulin crystals in the pancreas. view more (2006-05-10)
Physics and biology team up to tackle protein folding debate
A team of researchers from EPFL, (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), the University of Lausanne, Northwestern University and Tel Aviv University bring biology and statistical physics together to answer the question of how molecular chaperones fold, unfold and pull proteins around in the cell. view more (2006-04-04)
Hydrogen bonds shown to play 'conserved' role in protein folding
By changing individual atoms in key places in proteins, Duke University chemists have found new evidence for the importance of comparatively weak "hydrogen bonds" in enabling stringlike proteins to fold into the maximally stable shape they need to assume their roles as biological workhorses. view more (2006-02-13)
DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes serve as sensors in living cells
Single-walled carbon nanotubes wrapped with DNA can be placed inside living cells and detect trace amounts of harmful contaminants using near infrared light. view more (2006-01-27)
Climate models help scientists understand global shifts in water availability
USGS scientists have a clearer picture of global shifts in water availability after examining a century of streamflow measurements from 165 locations around the world. view more (2005-11-17)
Probability Controls The Molecule Of Life
Thanks to biophysicists, statistics has reached the most intimate aspect of life - regulation of genes' activity. Investigation on probabilistic aspects of molecular biology has been supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the INTAS Foundation. Regulation of genes' activity is one of the most important biological problems which... view more... (2004-05-24)
Rolls-Royce extends international research credentials with German cooperation agreement
Rolls-Royce today signed a co-operation agreement with the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) in Cottbus, Germany, to establish a joint Engine Technology Competence Centre. This marks a further chapter in the company's history of forging strong links with the academic world on high-technology research in dedicated centres of excellence.... view more... (2003-04-04)
