UCLA researchers clarify function of glucose transport molecule
Researchers at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have solved the structure of a class of proteins known as sodium glucose co-transporters (SGLTs), which pump glucose into cells. view more (2008-07-07)
A clearer view of crystal growing
As technology progresses toward ever finer microelectronic structures, the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation used to depict them has to be shortened. The emerging generation of photolithographic processes works at 157 nanometers - a wavelength at which glass and even quartz glass are not transparent enough. The preferred material here is... view more... (2002-09-20)
Discovery about obesity drug helping scientists develop new cancer treatments
Based on their surprising discovery that an obesity drug can kill cancer cells, scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have made a new finding about the drug's effects and are working to design more potent cancer treatments. view more (2007-07-09)
MIT: Extending the shelf life of antibody drugs
A new computer model developed at MIT can help solve a problem that has plagued drug companies trying to develop promising new treatments made of antibodies: Such drugs have a relatively short shelf life because they tend to clump together, rendering them ineffective. view more (2009-06-30)
Structure of enzyme against chemical warfare agents determined
The enzyme DFPase from the squid Loligo vulgaris, is able to rapidly and efficiently detoxify chemical warfare agents such as Sarin, which was used in the Tokyo subway attacks in 1995. view more (2009-01-29)
Cell's fight against cancer revealed
If anything in cancer biology can be likened to a cage match, this is it: the battle inside the cell walls between LTag, "The Most Amazing Molecule in the Universe," and p53, "The Guardian of the Genome." view more (2006-09-01)
New study reveals structure of the HIV protein shell
New research by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute and other institutions provides a close-up look at the cone-shaped shell that is the hallmark of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), revealing how it is held together-and possible ways to break it apart. view more (2009-06-15)
Dartmouth researchers find new protein function
A group of Dartmouth researchers has found a new function for one of the proteins involved with chromosome segregation during cell division. view more (2009-01-09)
Toxic shock: immune system's anthrax link
Human immune proteins crucial for fighting cancer, viruses and bacterial infections belong to an ancient and lethal toxin family previously only found in bacteria, Australian researchers have found. view more (2007-08-24)
BCM, Rice make major advance in structural biology
Scientists from Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and Rice University have discovered a new way to analyze the moving parts of large proteins - a breakthrough that will make it easier for structural biologists to classify and scrutinize the active sites of proteins implicated in cancer and other diseases. view more (2007-05-01)
