An international team of scientists lead by researchers at UC Davis Health System has found that, with respect to genetics, modern Europeans fall into two…
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have evidence that curbed activity from several key chemicals on the inner lining of the nose are linked to chronic sinusitis that…
No one has ever seen exactly how water molecules interact with proteins – even though water is the essential element for life . . . that is, not until now.Researchers led by Ohio State University physicist Dongping Zhong revealed these interactions for the first time, and report the results in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences….
The influence trees have on our daily life is enormous. Forests cover 30% of the world’s land area, accommodate two thirds of life on earth, and are…
Professor Hywel Morgan at the University’s School of Electronics & Computer Science (ECS) and Dr Peter Roach at the School of Chemistry and their team have…
If they're right, the protein – an enzyme called human aspartyl (asparaginyl) beta-hydroxylase, or HAAH – could ultimately help reduce the number of…
The study appears in the September issue of Molecular Biology of the Cell.When myosin, a protein that is abundant in muscle and is necessary for muscle…
Even viruses – those bits of occasionally harmful genetic material enclosed in shells of protein and fat – crave carbs. Except viruses aren't seeking a taste…
Harry Noller, the Sinsheimer Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has been studying the ribosome for more than 30 years….
Specifically, the researchers developed a method for applying peptides to single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) in field effect transistors. “This is a fairly…
The preliminary finding, by UCI organic chemist Kenneth Shea, evolutionary biologist Neil Tsutsui and graduate student Robert Sulc, was described today at the…
Separating proteins from complex biological fluids such as blood is becoming increasingly important for understanding diseases and developing new treatments….
Many clinicians still rely on a diagnostic test that is over 100 years old. In research published in the Lancet today, Scientists at St George’s, University of…
This conference will be the first in a series of biennial in-depth meetings that will bring together academic and industrial scientists, regulators and policy…
Biomedical researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) have taken an important early step toward developing effective drug…
However, the water can't be disinfected with chlorine because it degrades polyamid material. Now, researchers at Virginia Tech have created a new polymer…
