New NIST reference material for peptide analysis
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued its first-ever reference material designed to improve the performance and reliability of experiments to measure the masses and concentrations of peptides in biomolecular samples. view more (2007-05-29)
Synthetic peptoids hold forth promise for new antibiotics
Drug-resistant bacterial infections are a growing concern, and much research has been devoted to finding new classes of antibiotics to fight them. view more (2008-03-10)
Potent Peptides Inhibit HIV Entry Into Cells
Based in part on protein structures determined at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, scientists at the University of Utah have developed new peptides that appear to be significantly more effective at blocking HIV's entry into cells than other drugs in their class. view more (2007-10-11)
What is potentially pathogenic role of anti-tTG IgA in the development of celiac disease?
The recent detection of antibodies in celiac patients specific for deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP), the product of tTG binding to gliadin peptides, provides an opportunity to address the correlation between the production of anti-tTG IgA and the antibodies against DGP in celiac patients. view more (2009-02-23)
Researchers get closer to preventing Alzheimer's disease
A recent study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine identifies a faulty molecule in the brain found in cases of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). view more (2006-07-06)
Discovery of natural compounds that could slow blood vessel growth
Using computer models and live cell experiments, biomedical engineers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered more than 100 human protein fragments that can slow or stop the growth of cells that make up new blood vessels. view more (2008-10-06)
Peptides-on-demand: McGill researcher's radical new green chemistry makes the impossible possible
McGill University chemistry professor Chao-Jun (C.J.) Li is known as one of the world leading pioneers in green chemistry, an entirely new approach to the science which eschews the use of toxic, petrochemical-based solvents in favour of basic substances like water and new ways of making molecules. view more (2009-02-25)
MU researchers find clue to cataract formation
It is the No. 1 line-item cost of Medicare reimbursement and affects more than 20 million people in the United States. Cataracts, which can have devastating effects on the eye, affect 42 percent of the population between the ages of 70 and 80, and 68 percent of the population over the age of 80. view more (2008-04-18)
How does soy promote weight loss? University of Illinois scientist finds another clue
Research shows that when soy consumption goes up, weight goes down. A new University of Illinois study may help scientists understand exactly how that weight loss happens. view more (2007-05-02)
New designer lipid-like peptide with lipid nanostructures for drug delivery systems
Scientists from Institute of Biophysics and Nanosystems Research (IBN), Austrian Academy of Sciences and of Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA report the study of "Tuning Curvature and Stability of Monoolein Bilayers by Designer Lipid-Like Peptide Surfactants" in the May 30th issue of... view more...

How Toxoplasma gondii gets noticed
Researchers provide insight into how Toxoplasma gondii, a common parasite of people and other animals, triggers an immune response in its host. view more (2009-01-20)
Scientists identify 36 genes, 100 neuropeptides in honey bee brains
From humans to honey bees, neuropeptides control brain activity and, hence, our behaviors. view more (2006-10-26)
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment
Russian researchers have developed a medication capable of protecting against various human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains. Their effort has been supported by the International Scientific Technical Center. Intense search for efficacious human immunodeficiency virus treatment carried out by scientific laboratories worldwide has not yet... view more... (2004-01-30)
UCSD researchers discover cause of rosacea
Doctors can describe the symptoms of rosacea, a common inflammatory skin disease that causes facial redness and affects nearly 14 million Americans. They can tell patients what triggers can worsen their condition: spicy foods, heat, alcohol, even embarrassment. view more (2007-08-06)
Motorola researchers develop selective sensors based on carbon nanotubes
A team of researchers from Arizona State University and Motorola Labs, the applied research arm of Motorola Inc., has developed sensors based on carbon nanotubes, microscopically small structures that posses excellent electronic properties. view more (2006-09-14)
Protein splicing upsets the DNA colinearity paradigm
Understanding medical research problems often relies on the direct, linear relationship between the sequence of a protein and the DNA encoding that protein. view more (2006-09-08)
Hamilton College Researchers Discover New Molecules with the Potential to Treat Breast Cancer
Hamilton College researchers have identified molecules that have been shown to be effective in the fight against breast cancer. view more (2007-05-07)
Inside job: new radioactive agents for colon cancer work inside cells
Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a potentially novel way to fight colorectal cancer using tiny molecules to deliver potent barrages of radiation inside cancer cells, unlike current treatments that bind to the surface of cells and attack from the outside and cause unwanted side effects. view more (2007-10-10)
NIST membrane model may unlock secrets of early-stage Alzheimer's
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and three collaborating institutions are using a new laboratory model of the membrane surrounding neurons in the brain to study how a protein long suspected of a role in early-stage Alzheimer's disease actually impairs a neuron's structure and function. view more (2008-07-24)
Food peptides activate bitter taste receptors
Researchers from the Monell Center and Tokyo University of Agriculture have used a novel molecular method to identify chemical compounds from common foods that activate human bitter taste receptors. view more (2008-01-23)
