Science captures the essence of fruit

...produce fruit flavours and fragrances by perfectly recreating a fruit compound called alpha-farnesene, responsible for the distinctive aroma of green apples. The company has filed international patent applications on the use of the applicable gene in creating the fragrance, and for another plant gene responsi...

Soil-bound prions that cause CWD remain infectious

...esearchers also exposed CGD mice to the bacterium, recreating the appearance of the patient's infection. Researchers were then able to retrieve the bacteria from the mice's spleens, which are disease-fighting organs. These factors all support the pathogenic nature of the bacterium. Because the bacterium d...

Science's Breakthrough of the Year: Watching evolution in action

... ITER is to generate fusion-powered electricity by recreating the power of the sun on Earth. Science 's Breakdown of the Year -- U.S. Particle Physics: With the cancellation of two major experiments and talk of an early closing for one of the three existing particle colliders, U.S. particle physics is Scienc...

UCSD discovery may provide novel method to generate medically useful proteins

...his degree of protein diversity is extremely rare, recreating the process in a test tube could give researchers a new way to generate therapeutic enzymes, vaccines and other medically important proteins. "This is only the second type of massively variable protein ever discovered," explained Partho Ghosh, a p...
