Quantum Dots Research Leads to New Knowledge about Protein Binding in Plants

...utilize Quantum Dot bio-conjugates to uncover new knowledge about the binding of a protein at the growingpollen tube tip. This protein plays a critical role along with anotherprotein (chemocyanin) in guiding sperm-laden pollen tubes to the eggsfound in ovules. Applyingnanoparticles for imaging the protein lo...

Controversial drug shown to act on brain protein to cut alcohol use

...ed a link between GDNFand reversal of addiction -- knowledge of a molecular mechanism thatshould allow development of a new class of drugs to treat addictionwithout Ibogaine's side effects," said Dorit Ron, PhD, UCSF associateprofessor of neurology and also principal investigator at the GalloCenter.

Research advances quest for HIV-1 vaccine

...odies at the molecular level and transferring this knowledge into the design of vaccines capable of stimulating broadly neutralizing antibodies against globally diverse HIV. According to Dr. Wayne Koff, IAVI Sr. VP for Vaccine Research, "Elucidation of the critical features of 4E10 recognition of HIV-1 helps t...

Molecular machine may lead to new drugs to combat human diseases

...use biochemical reactions. Scientists can use this knowledge to manipulate the intron to splice out malfunctioning genes, said Barbara Golden, associate professor of biochemistry. Normal genes then can take over without actually changing the genetic code. The results of the Purdue study are published in the J...

Sea skate experiment sheds light on human cell transport

..." Goldstein said. "The idea that we can apply this knowledge to other cells and other animals ?including humans ?is what makes the findings exciting." In type 1 diabetes, cells lose their ability to transport glucose. Goldstein and Musch say their findings could explain the problem. People with type 1 diabete...

Solution to Pollution: New Bacteria Eats Toxic Waste

... to degrade the PAHs and survive in the soil. Such knowledge may help researchers better understand and utilize the organisms to destroy PAH contaminants in the environment by applying engineering principles to microbial biotechnology, said Sims. “This research is extending itself to the world, and we are real...

Why do insects stop 'breathing'? To avoid damage from too much oxygen, say researchers

...ls are involved. Once we're equipped with a better knowledge of the insect breathing pattern it could shed light on when pesticides should be used to control insects -- crucial for the agricultural industry." ...

New SARS Protein Linked To Important Cell Doorway

... disease, scientists will already have much of the knowledge they need to develop ways to disable or weaken it. "The key to studying novel viruses used to be the ability to isolate the virus and grow it in a culture," notes lead author Daved Fremont, Ph.D., assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular bi...

Duke Chemists Isolating Individual Molecules Of Toxic Protein In Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease

...to bring the molecules together. Then, using their knowledge of protein chemistry, they can develop hypotheses about how those particular monomers might, or might not, be involved in the evolution of fibrils, They can thus develop a better understanding of amyloid aggregation. The scientists are also seeking ...

...ll need to be worked out," he said. While the new knowledge of kaposin B's role will contribute to understanding how the responsible virus produces cytokines, there are likely other mechanisms at work as well, Ganem emphasized. Other viral genes are also known to be involved in cytokine pathways, he said. De...
