Solution to elusive problem
Scientists at the University of Leicester are on the way to solving a problem that has long beset chemists trying to study chemical reactions. To establish reaction mechanisms the observation of reaction intermediates is vital, but they are incredibly short-lived under normal conditions, and... view more (2003-01-21)

Argonne scientists develop techniques for creating molecular movies
They may never win an Oscar, but scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed techniques for creating accurate movies of biological and chemical molecules, a feat only theorized up until now.   view more (2008-04-16)

A pathway towards cures for Parkinson`s and cancer
Researchers studying the Hedgehog signaling pathway have identified small molecules that could form the foundations of exciting new treatments for Parkinson's disease and certain cancers. New research published in Journal of Biology - the open access journal for exceptional research - has... view more (2002-11-01)

Plastic-Protein Hybrid Materials
Enzymatic films for bioactive surfaces We encounter them every day in laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, or shower gel: surfactants - surface-active substances. Surfactants belong to a category of molecules called amphiphiles, molecular hermaphrodites consisting of a water-loving (hydrophilic)... view more (2001-12-21)

Research could help finger more criminals
Scientists at the University of Sunderland are working on new technology that could help police forces catch criminals, by providing more clear and detailed fingerprints. Researchers at the university's School of Health, Natural & Social Sciences are developing what's known as a nanoparticle... view more (2003-11-14)

Genetically engineered blood protein can be used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen
Scientists have combined two molecules that occur naturally in blood to engineer a molecular complex that uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.   view more (2006-12-01)

An obstacle to cancer cells
The circulation of cancer cells through the blood vessels is often the cause of metastasis. These cancer cells contaminate normal cells and the pathology spreads throughout the body.   view more (2005-12-19)

Measurements may help show if constants are changing
Physicists at JILA have performed the first-ever precision measurements using ultracold molecules, in work that may help solve a long-standing scientific mystery-whether so-called constants of nature have changed since the dawn of the universe.   view more (2006-05-01)

Cellular pathway yields potential new weapon in vaccine arsenal
When a cell has to destroy any of its organelles or protein aggregates, it envelopes them in a membrane, forming an autophagosome, and then moves them to another compartment, the lysosome, for digestion. Two years ago, Rockefeller University assistant professor Christian Münz showed that this... view more (2006-12-27)

New possibilities for drug design
An article in Journal of Physics B, published on 7 July 2003 by the Institute of Physics, reports on a new technique which could in future help scientists working in rational drug design (a way of tailoring a new drug to fit the structure of the protein it targets) to develop drugs more... view more (2003-07-04)

'Micro-boxes' of water used to study single molecules
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated the use of water droplets as minuscule "boxes" for small numbers of biomolecules.   view more (2006-07-24)

A Morse code for human cells
Morse code is a simple, effective and clear method of communication and now scientists believe that cells in our body may also be using patterns of signals to switch genes on and off. The discovery may have major implications for the pharmaceutical industry as the signalling molecules that are... view more (2005-01-06)

Model for the assembly of advanced, single-molecule-based electronic components developed at Pitt
Researchers based at the University of Pittsburgh have created the best method so far of assembling wire-like structures only a single molecule wide, a significant step in science's increasing attempts to reduce the circuitry size of electronic devices to the single molecule scale and provide... view more (2007-09-27)

UIC and Japanese chemists close in on molecular switch
The electronics industry believes that when it comes to circuits, smaller is better -- and many foresee a future where electrical switches and circuits will be as tiny as single molecules.   view more (2007-07-11)

Oxford Biomedical and Kiadis agree collaborative programme on wound healing
Oxford, United Kingdom and Leiden, The Netherlands. 28 January 2003 - Oxford BioMedica plc ('Oxford BioMedica') and Kiadis BV ('Kiadis') have agreed a joint programme directed, in the first instance, at wound healing. The global market for wound healing is estimated to be in excess of $1 billion.... view more (2003-01-28)

Tiny computers go where no computer has gone before
A major breakthrough in the use of molecules as information processors is to be announced at this year's BA Festival of Science in Dublin.   view more (2005-09-08)

High-tech sieve sifts for hydrogen
Whether it's used in chemical laboratories or the fuel tanks of advanced automobiles, hydrogen is mostly produced from natural gas and other fossil fuels.   view more (2006-02-06)

Simulations help explain fast water transport in nanotubes
By discovering the physical mechanism behind the rapid transport of water in carbon nanotubes, scientists at the University of Illinois have moved a step closer to ultra-efficient, next-generation nanofluidic devices for drug delivery, water purification and nano-manufacturing.    view more (2008-09-17)

Researchers discover new strategies for antibiotic resistance
With infections increasingly resistant to even the most modern antibiotics, researchers at the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (LA BioMed) report in the September issue of Nature Reviews Microbiology on new clues they have uncovered in immune system molecules... view more (2007-08-30)

Where is the proton? Yale scientists discover footprints of shared protons
This week in Science, Yale researchers present "roadmaps" showing that shared protons, a common loose link between two biological molecules, simply vibrate between the molecules as a local oscillator, rather than intimately entangling with the molecular vibrations of the attached... view more (2007-04-13)

Caught in Flight
Chemists are very interested in unusual molecules that are made from atoms of a single element. For example, fullerenes ("buckyballs") and nanotubes, made of pure carbon, are generating a lot of excitement among materials scientists. If all were as it should be, the element phosphorus should be... view more (1999-11-24)

Caltech engineers build mini drug-producing biofactories in yeast
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have developed a novel way to churn out large quantities of drugs, including antiplaque toothpaste additives, antibiotics, nicotine, and even morphine, using mini biofactories--in yeast.   view more (2008-08-18)

Porphyrin electron-transfer reactions observed at the molecular level

Researchers Find Synthetic Molecules That May Literally Be The Key To “Locking Away” Unwanted DNA
Research chemists have a found a class of synthetic molecules that could quite literally act as a key which could lock away sections of DNA into a closely wound coil preventing proteins from interacting with particular sections of DNA code. By locking up the DNA in this way scientists could stop... view more (2002-04-15)
