Enzyme inhibitors block replication Of SARS virus
Researchers have known since 2003 that a site on the virus is responsible for mediating proteases that allow the virus to replicate. Since then researchers have been testing protease inhibitors to lock up this site, known as SARS 3CLpro, and effectively stop the virus from infecting additional cells in the body. view more (2006-03-28)
Novel newborn screening can open door to treating rare but devastating diseases
Rare metabolic diseases such as Tay-Sachs, Fabry and Gaucher syndromes are caused by enzyme deficiencies and typically have crippling, even fatal, consequences starting at very early ages. view more (2006-03-29)
Scientists describe new way to peer inside bacteria
As part of the search for better ways to track and clean up soil contaminants, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University have developed a new way to "image" the internal chemistry of bacteria. view more (2005-08-30)
Voracious sponges save reef
Tropical oceans are known as the deserts of the sea. And yet this unlikely environment is the very place where the rich and fertile coral reef grows. Dutch researcher Jasper de Goeij investigated how caves in the coral reef ensure the reef's continued existence. view more (2009-01-14)
Joop Hermens awarded SETAC Europe Environmental Education Award
Dr. Joop Hermens was awarded the 2004 Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Europe Environmental Education Award, sponsored by Dr. U. Noack Laboratorien. Though the award was intended to honor Hermens, he saw it as an acknowledgement of the effort from the environmental toxicology and chemistry research group at the Institute... view more...

New laboratory to study the oceans and air
Almost two-thirds of the planet is ocean and this has a major impact on our lives. Now the University of East Anglia (UEA) will be home to the world's first facility dedicated to the study of chemical ocean-air interactions which are important in regulating Earth's climate. Examples include ocean uptake of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide... view more... (2003-11-21)
Life detection instrument passes key test on road to Mars
The dry, dusty, treeless expanse of Chile's Atacama Desert is the most lifeless spot on the face of the Earth, and that's why Alison Skelley and Richard Mathies joined a team of NASA scientists there earlier this month. view more (2005-06-29)
Royal Society of Chemistry Retrodigitisation Project
For many reasons (including library space, degeneration of paper issues and the wider availability of data), there is an increasing demand for electronic access (including searching capability) to all chemical research archived by the Royal Society of Chemistry and for this content to be linked to other electronic content. To meet this demand, the... view more... (2003-04-14)

Crystal sponges excel at sopping up CO2
Since the Industrial Revolution, levels of carbon dioxide--a major contributor to the greenhouse effect--have been on the rise, prompting scientists to search for ways of counteracting the trend. view more (2005-12-02)
Landfills, chemical weapon debris possibly a good match, computer model suggests
Putting building debris contaminated by chemical weapons into municipal landfills likely would pose only a minimal risk to nearby communities and the surrounding environment, according to a study scheduled for publication in the July 1 issue of the American Chemical Society journal Environmental Science & Technology. view more (2006-06-28)
NJIT researchers develop inexpensive, easy process to produce solar panels
Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have developed an inexpensive solar cell that can be painted or printed on flexible plastic sheets. view more (2007-07-19)
Fatostatin' is a turnoff for fat genes
A small molecule earlier found to have both anti-fat and anti-cancer abilities works as a literal turnoff for fat-making genes, according to a new report in the August 28th issue of the journal Chemistry and Biology, a Cell Press journal. view more (2009-08-28)
Comet probes reveal evidence of origin of life, scientists claim
Recent probes inside comets show it is overwhelmingly likely that life began in space, according to a new paper by Cardiff University scientists. view more (2007-08-15)
Warming could free far more carbon from high Arctic soil than earlier thought
Scientists studying the effects of carbon on climate warming are very likely underestimating, by a vast amount, how much soil carbon is available in the high Arctic to be released into the atmosphere, new University of Washington research shows. view more (2005-12-06)
NYU researchers decorate virus particles, showing potential to enhance MRI capabilities
Researchers at New York University have made chemical modifications to nanometer sized virus particles—a process that has the potential to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Their results are reported in the latest issue of Nano Letters. view more (2006-06-14)
Cranberries can treat herpes
Alpine cranberries have significant biological activity that can help to combat herpes virus type II (HSV-2) infection, one of the most common viral infections in humans, writes Emma Dorey in Chemistry & Industry. view more (2004-10-15)
LSU, Yale team study agricultural impact on Mississippi River
According to a study published in "Nature" by researchers at LSU and Yale University, farming has significantly changed the hydrology and chemistry of the Mississippi River, injecting more carbon dioxide into the river and raising river discharge during the past 50 years. view more (2008-01-24)
Sheffield scientists light up bacteria
Researchers from the University of Sheffield have received joint funding from the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to develop an innovative sensor to detect bacteria. view more (2007-03-13)
New chemistry approach promises less expensive drugs
With a newly discovered method of assembling organic molecules, a team of Princeton University chemists may have found a way to sidestep many of the expensive and hazardous barriers that stand in the way of drug development. view more (2007-03-30)
