More muscle for the argument to give up smoking
Researchers at The University of Nottingham have got more bad news for smokers. Not only does it cause cancer, heart attacks and strokes but smokers will also lose more muscle mass in old age than a non-smoker.   view more (2007-07-10)

Scientists re-engineer a well-known antibiotic to counter drug resistance
The scientists replaced a single atom from the molecular structure of vancomycin aglycon, a glycopeptide antibiotic that attacks the bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, significantly increasing the drug's spectrum of activity.   view more (2006-02-09)

Synthetic production of potential pharmaceuticals dramatically simplified by Scripps research team
Chemists are currently able to synthetically produce almost any compound, but they must typically resort to expensive, complex processes that can require dozens of individual steps.   view more (2007-03-22)

Atomic structure of the mammalian 'fatty acid factory' determined
Mammalian fatty acid synthase is one of the most complex molecular synthetic machines in human cells. It is also a promising target for the development of anti-cancer and anti-obesity drugs and the treatment of metabolic disorders.   view more (2008-09-05)

"Nanosculpture" Could Enable New Types of Heat Pumps and Energy Converters
A new technique for growing single-crystal nanorods and controlling their shape using biomolecules could enable the development of smaller, more powerful heat pumps and devices that harvest electricity from heat.    view more (2008-07-21)

Discovery of metabolic pathway for parasite could lead to new controls for diseases
Toxoplasma gondii is one nasty bug. A microscopic parasite, it lives in the intestinal tract of cats but can be carried by most warm-blooded animals. In humans, it can harm or even kill a developing fetus, and it can as well sicken those with compromised immune systems, such as AIDS patients.   view more (2006-08-15)

Oxford Improves Production Method for Interfering RNA
Researchers at Oxford University's Department of Biochemistry have developed methods for making RNA duplexes and single-stranded RNAs of desired length and sequence.

The dance of crystal structures
The word "crystal" is a technical term; iron and steel, for example, are crystals whereas glass is not. In fact, "crystal" means materials of a crystalline structure.   view more (2004-11-10)

Drought reduces nitrogen-fixing in legumes
In drought conditions, the capacity for retaining carbon in legume nodules is limited and this may be the reason why there is a drop in nitrogen-fixing in legumes under these conditions. This was the conclusion of Mar'­a Dolores G'Ħlvez in defending her PhD thesis at the Public University of... view more (2005-02-04)
