New malaria enzyme laid bare with help of computer calculations
Using only computers, a research team at Uppsala University in Sweden has managed to reveal both the structure and the function of a newly discovered enzyme from the most dangerous malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. All that was needed was the amino acid sequence of the enzyme. The findings may represent a breakthrough for future... view more... (2004-12-07)
Nano propellers pump with proper chemistry
The ability to pump liquids at the cellular scale opens up exciting possibilities, such as precisely targeting medicines and regulating flow into and out of cells. But designing this molecular machinery has proven difficult. view more (2007-07-17)

UCI scientists find chlorine may contribute to ozone formation
Standard methods of predicting air pollution don't take atmospheric chlorine into account, but the chemical could be responsible for 10 percent or more of daily ozone production in local air, research at UC Irvine has found. view more (2006-06-14)
Rice study: 'nanostars' could be ultra-sensitive chemical sensors
New optics research from Rice University's Laboratory for Nanophotonics suggests that tiny gold particles called nanostars could become powerful chemical sensors. view more (2006-04-19)
Green catalysts provide promise for cleaning toxins and pollutants
Tetra-Amido Macrocyclic Ligands (TAMLs) are environmentally friendly catalysts with a host of applications for reducing and cleaning up pollutants, and a prime example of "green chemistry." Carnegie Mellon University's Terry Collins, the catalyst's inventor, believes that the small-molecule catalysts have the potential to be even more... view more... (2008-08-18)
Small molecules mimic natural gene regulators
In the quest for new approaches to treating and preventing disease, one appealing route involves turning genes on or off at will, directly intervening in ailments such as cancer and diabetes, which result when genes fail to turn on and off as they should. view more (2009-06-04)

Cranking up the volume-- Sounds travel farther underwater as world's oceans become more acidic
It is common knowledge that the world's oceans and atmosphere are warming as humans release more and more carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere. However, fewer people realize that the chemistry of the oceans is also changing--seawater is becoming more acidic as carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in the oceans. view more (2008-09-30)
Chemistry & Industry - 5 August
NEWS High blood metal levels may be clue to autism (page 5) New research by a scientist in Scotland may provide a clue as to the cause of autism. Research has found that children with autism have unusually high levels of metal toxins in their blood that can 'compromise the immune system, which means that there would be an inappropriate reaction to... view more...

Scientists at the Carnegie Institution have found for the first time that high pressure can be used to make a unique hydrogen-storage material. view more (2009-11-23)
Identifying the 'signatures' of protons in water
Free protons from acids associate with 1, 2 or 3 molecules of water and the structures can be identified by unique infrared laser spectrum signatures, according to a report in Science by Yale professor of chemistry Mark A. Johnson and his collaborators at Yale, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Georgia. view more (2005-07-14)
