New malaria enzyme laid bare with help of computer calculations
Using only computers, a research team at Uppsala University in Sweden has managed to reveal both the structure and the function of a newly discovered enzyme from the most dangerous malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. All that was needed was the amino acid sequence of the enzyme. The findings may represent a breakthrough for future... view more... (2004-12-07)
Beyond genes: Lipid helps cell wall protein fold into proper shape
A protein that provides a vital passage through a bacterium's outer cell wall will misfold and malfunction if that wall is built of the 'wrong' material, scientists at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston report in a finding that has long-term implications for understanding diseases caused by misfolded proteins such as cystic... view more...

'Silent' nighttime acid reflux symptoms can cause poor sleep and sleep apnea
Patients with sleep complaints but no heartburn symptoms suffered episodes of nighttime acid reflux. view more (2005-10-31)
Chemistry can make us greener
The way in which chemistry can make industry greener is highlighted in a new website for A-level students. The site focuses on the practical application of chemistry to make industrial processes more environmentally friendly. It gives students vital examples of real-world problems and how to solve them. The image of chemistry is undergoing a... view more... (2004-03-09)
Drop in acid rain altering Appalachian stream water
Appalachian hardwood forests may be getting a respite from acid rain but data from a long-term ecological study of stream chemistry suggests that the drop in acid rain may be changing biological activity in the ecosystem and hiking dissolved carbon dioxide in forest streams. view more (2006-12-12)
Gene expands malaria's invasion options
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum uses different pathways to invade red blood cells, evading the body's immune system and complicating efforts to create effective vaccines against the disease. view more (2005-08-26)
'Invisible' bacteria dupe the human immune system
Scientists at the University of York have characterised an important new step in the mechanism used by bacteria to evade our immune system. view more (2008-02-20)
Gene determines whether male body odor smells pleasant
To many, urine smells like urine and vanilla smells like vanilla. But androstenone, a derivative of testosterone that is a potent ingredient in male body odor, can smell like either - depending on your genes. view more (2007-09-17)
Root Beer May Be "Safest" Soft Drink for Teeth
Exposing teeth to soft drinks, even for a short period of time, causes dental erosion—and prolonged exposure can lead to significant enamel loss. Root beer products, however, are non-carbonated and do not contain the acids that harm teeth. view more (2007-03-21)
Recovery from acid rain 'much slower than expected'
Acid rain was one of the world's worst pollution problems of the 1970s and 1980s, affecting large areas of upland Britain, as well as Europe and North America. view more (2007-09-28)
Study shows new imaging tracer clarifies cause of chest pain up to 30 hours after pain stops
A national team of researchers, led by a cardiovascular nuclear medicine specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center, has demonstrated for the first time that an experimental radioactive compound can show images of heart damage up to 30 hours after a brief interruption of blood flow and oxygen. view more (2005-09-27)
Chronic drinking and smoking cause both separate and interactive brain injury
Most alcoholics in North America are chronic smokers. While much is known about the adverse effects of chronic smoking on cardiac, pulmonary and vascular function as well as the risk for various cancers, little is known about its effects on brain neurobiology and function. view more (2006-01-25)
Gene that makes people 'early to bed and early to rise' demystified
The recent discovery that a mutant "clock" gene made some people "early to bed and early to rise," a condition known as familial advanced sleep phase syndrome (FASPS), offered one of the first glimpses into the genetic basis of sleep in humans. view more (2007-01-12)
Hot volcanic eruptions could lead to a cooler Earth
Volcanic eruptions may be an agent of rapid and long-term climate change, according to new research by British scientists. view more (2005-06-13)
SLU Researchers Uncover Direct Evidence on How HIV Invades Healthy Cells
Using sophisticated detection methods, researchers at the Saint Louis University Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) have demonstrated the molecular mechanism by which the HIV virus infects, or integrates, healthy cells. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments for HIV. view more (2005-12-22)
Oceans may soon be more corrosive than when the dinosaurs died
Increased carbon dioxide emissions are rapidly making the world's oceans more acidic and, if unabated, could cause a mass extinction of marine life similar to one that occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs disappeared. view more (2006-02-21)
UF scientists find sugar may have a sour side
University of Florida researchers have identified one possible reason for rising obesity rates, and it all starts with fructose, found in fruit, honey, table sugar and other sweeteners, and in many processed foods. view more (2005-12-08)
Cosmetic plastic surgery patients chose needle over knife
Minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures are mostly performed in an outpatient setting, do not call for general anesthesia, require little to no downtime and usually cost less than the more invasive cosmetic surgeries. view more (2006-03-17)
Poor sleep more dangerous for women
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center say they may have figured out why poor sleep does more harm to cardiovascular health in women than in men. view more (2008-03-11)
Comparing Chimp, Human DNA
Most of the big differences between human and chimpanzee DNA lie in regions that do not code for genes, according to a new study. view more (2006-10-16)
