Blood Protein may Hold Key to Why Healthy People Get Heart Attacks

... of the arterial lining, a process that can create unstable plaques. MPO also hampers the protective effects of high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and reduces the availability of nitric oxide, a natural chemical that relaxes the blood vessels. "MPO levels help to identify individuals at increase...

Translating Structure into Function

...eat: simulating candidate substrates that mimicked unstable intermediate molecules those that exist only briefly as the catalyst turns the substrate into a new molecule. Because these intermediates are unstable, scientists have until now been unable to test their fit to the enzymes active site. Once the ...

Completely Neutral Evolutionary Changes Helped Shape Our Genome

...mildly negative since long repeat sequences can be unstable or get inserted inside genes and disrupt them," said Katsanis. The researchers believe they have uncovered a possible reason why these potentially damaging but mostly neutral bits of DNA accumulate over time by comparing the sequences of human numt...

UK Suggestion for Restricted Use of Anti-AMD Drugs Draws Flak
