Computational microscope peers into the working ribosome
Two new studies reveal in unprecedented detail how the ribosome interacts with other molecules to assemble new proteins and guide them toward their destination in biological cells. view more (2009-11-24)
UT-ORNL governor's chair unlocks secrets of protein folding
A team led by biophysicist Jeremy Smith of the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has taken a significant step toward unraveling the mystery of how proteins fold into unique, three-dimensional shapes. view more (2007-09-18)
Taking folic acid does not reduce risk of precancerous colon tumors
Taking folic acid supplements does not reduce the risk of developing precancerous tumors in the colon and may even increase the risk, a new study has found. view more (2007-06-11)
Scrubbing sulfur
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a reusable organic liquid that can pull harmful gases such as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide out of industrial emissions from power plants. view more (2009-08-18)
Folic acid may prevent cleft lip and palate
A new study finds that women who take folic acid supplements early in their pregnancy can substantially reduce their baby's chances of being born with a facial cleft. view more (2007-01-29)
New folic acid seal helps women choose enriched grain foods to help prevent birth defects
Not enough American women understand that consuming the B vitamin folic acid every day can help prevent serious birth defects, and only 40 percent are taking daily multivitamin supplements containing this essential nutrient beginning before pregnancy, two recent surveys show. view more (2008-01-14)
Selecting life: Scientists find new way to search for origin of life
Over the last half century, researchers have found that mineral surfaces may have played critical roles organizing, or activating, molecules that would become essential ingredients to all life-such as amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) and nucleic acids (the essence of DNA). But which of the countless possible combinations of... view more... (2006-11-10)
Rice lab finds molecular clues to Wilson disease
Using a combination of computer simulations and cutting-edge lab experiments, physical biochemists at Rice University have discovered how a small genetic mutation -- which is known to cause Wilson disease -- subtly changes the structure of a large, complex protein that the body uses to keep copper from building up to toxic levels. view more (2008-08-20)
Prevention of scrapie by means of selection in animals
To help prevent scrapie in sheep by means of animal selection is the aim of a project, throughout the whole of Spain, by a research group from the Agrarian Production Department of the Public University of Navarre together with other institutions such as the National Institute for Agrarian and Animal Feed Research & Technology (INIA), the... view more...

Disorderly protein brings order to cell division
The secret to the ability of a molecule critical for cell division to throw off the protein yoke that restrains its activity is the yoke itself—a disorderly molecule that seems to have a mind of its own. view more (2007-01-29)
Could A Protein Have Saved Salem's Witches From Burning At The Stake?
Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal degenerative disorder of the brain, can be alleviated by administration of a protein known to promote neuron survival, say scientists in the January's journal Experimental Neurology. view more (2003-12-29)
Gene expands malaria's invasion options
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum uses different pathways to invade red blood cells, evading the body's immune system and complicating efforts to create effective vaccines against the disease. view more (2005-08-26)
Microbes at work cleaning up the environment
It may sound counterintuitive to use a microbial protein to improve water quality. view more (2007-06-18)
Mayo researcher discovers target site for developing mosquito pesticides
A Mayo Clinic researcher has discovered a target site within malaria-carrying mosquitoes that could be used to develop pesticides that are toxic to the Anopheles gambiae mosquito and other mosquito species. view more (2006-12-21)
The Natural Choice: Organic food has more of what it takes to keep you healthy
EATING organic food may help reduce your risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer. The finding will reignite the debate over its health benefits and may force regulatory agencies to reconsider their position. Until now there has been little scientific evidence to suggest that organic food is any... view more... (2002-03-13)
Drug used in coronary artery bypass graft surgery may increase risk of death
Aprotinin, a drug used for limiting blood loss in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, is associated with an increased risk of death during five years following the surgery. view more (2007-02-07)
Gene research gets faster thanks to Aston University team
Aston University researchers have won a BBSRC research grant worth over £300,000 to study one of the most exciting areas of science today - biomolecular interactions. The Aston research team has invented a better, more effective method of randomising genes for laboratory research. Dr Anna Hine, who is leading the research and was the primary... view more...

Soft tissue taken from Tyrannosaurus rex fossil yields original protein
What happens when a 68 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex meets 21st century medical science? A North Carolina State University researcher and her colleagues at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center found out when they confirmed the existence of protein in soft tissue recovered from the bone of a 68 million-year-old T.... view more...

Cranberries contain possible anti-caries/anti-plaque agents
Scientists have discovered that the humble cranberry harbors several anti-oxidants (flavonoids) that show the ability to counteract the damaging effects of the bacterium Streptococcus mutans, which causes dental caries (tooth decay). view more (2006-06-29)
Scientists discover ancient protein and DNA sequences in same fossil
For the first time in the world, researchers at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, along with collaborators at the University of Oxford, Harvard University, and Michigan State University have uncovered two genetically informative molecules from a single fossil bone. In addition to the recovery of mitochondrial DNA, the complete sequencing... view more... (2002-11-12)
