Folding Proteins on a Computer
Proteins only function when properly folded In order for enzymatic reactions to proceed correctly, the enzyme and substrate must fit together as precisely as a lock and key. The function of the enzyme and protein is determined by the structure of the latter. The chain of amino acids that makes up... view more (2001-01-19)

High protein diet may be bad for women trying to conceive
A moderately high protein diet could reduce a woman's chances of becoming pregnant, according to new research presented at the 20th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today on Monday 28 June.

Protein binds whenever it can
Dutch cancer researcher Joost Martens has discovered that the protein p300, which plays an important role in the correct transcription of DNA to RNA, can bind to DNA at several sites. The protein can also occupy a position in various complexes, each with its own protein composition. This knowledge... view more (2003-06-24)

Urgent need for more research into prevalence of CJD
The first estimate of the number of people who are at increased risk of vCJD, but who have not developed symptoms, is published in this week`s BMJ.    Researchers studied specimens from appendicectomies and tonsillectomies carried out between 1995 and 1999. They also examined samples... view more (2002-09-18)

Growth secrets of Alaska's mysterious field of lakes
The thousands of oval lakes that dot Alaska's North Slope are some of the fastest-growing lakes on the planet. Ranging in size from puddles to more than 15 miles in length, the lakes have expanded at rates up to 15 feet per year, year in and year out for thousands of years.   view more (2005-06-27)

"Sloppy Genes" Behave Like Their Neighbours: New Findings Reveal That The Regulation Of Gene Expression Is Much Less Strictly Controlled Than Was Previously Thought
The inaugural issue of Journal of Biology features groundbreaking research that challenges the traditional view of how genes are controlled. Our current understanding of gene expression, the fundamental process by which proteins are made from the instructions encoded in DNA, is that the process is... view more (2002-06-13)

New study raises questions about the number of people in the UK who could be incubating vCJD
A team of UK scientists found that 3 out of 12,674 stored appendix and tonsil samples showed evidence of the prion protein associated with vCJD, but urge caution about the way these results are interpreted. The research is published this week in The Journal of Pathology. The study aimed to help... view more (2004-05-18)

Scientists discover new reefs teeming with marine life in Brazil
Scientists announced today the discovery of reef structures they believe doubles the size of the Southern Atlantic Ocean's largest and richest reef system, the Abrolhos Bank, off the southern coast of Brazil's Bahia state. The newly discovered area is also far more abundant in marine life than the... view more (2008-07-09)

What's the difference between a human and a fruit fly?
Fruit flies are dramatically different from humans not in their number of genes, but in the number of protein interactions in their bodies, according to scientists who have developed a new way of estimating the total number of interactions between proteins in any organism.   view more (2008-05-13)

New prion protein discovered by Canadian scientists may offer insight into mad cow disease
Scientists have discovered a new protein that may offer fresh insights into brain function in mad cow disease. "Our team has defined a second prion protein called 'Shadoo', that exists in addition to the well-known prion protein called 'PrP' " said Professor David Westaway, director of... view more (2007-08-17)

OHSU Cancer Institute researchers find connection between protein, prognosis in breast cancer
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that a tumor protein present in an aggressive form of breast cancer is related to a poor prognosis.   view more (2008-04-14)

New collaboration between Amersham Biosciences and Affibody increases potential in protein purification
Under the agreement, the two companies will work to develop affinity-based products for use in the production processes for protein-based pharmaceuticals. The development of these products will be based on Affibodies™, a novel class of small, robust affinity proteins designed to bind desired... view more (2002-03-06)
