Snapin: A protein with therapy potential for autism
Rutgers' Bonnie Firestein likens nerve cells to trees -- some are short and bushy with many branches while others are tall with a few branches coming out of one or two main trunks. Different branching patterns correlate with specific disorders and Firestein's quest is to discover how these dissimilar patterns come about and why. A new paper by Firestein and her colleagues at Rutgers, The S...Scientists take 'snapshots' of enzyme action
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, the New York Structural Biology Center, and SGX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., have determined the atomic crystal structure and functional mechanism of an enzyme essential for eliminating unwanted, non-nutritional compounds such as drugs, industrial chemicals, and toxic compounds from the body. The detailed mechanism of action...Gene Bridges And Covalys To Develop Restriction-Enzyme-Free SNAP-tag Gene Fusion Kits
Gene Bridges and Covalys Biosciences AG today announced a collaboration to develop "Copy & Paste" DNA engineering kits to generate SNAP-tag fusion proteins based on Gene Bridges' Red/ET recombination technology. Gene Bridge's Red/ET cloning system does not require restriction enzymes and allows the engineering of large DNA sequences, such as BACs, (bacterial artificial chromosomes) with singl...High resolution 'snapshots' detail dynamics of a cocaine antibody
Cocaine-binding antibodies have shown some promise in their ability to neutralize cocaine toxicity, but their binding ability is severely impaired by high concentrations of the drug. A catalytic monoclonal antibody such as 7A1, on the other hand, has the ability to regenerate after each new dose of the drug, making it far more effective than others in metabolizing cocaine. The study, which...Fast-freeze snapshot yields new picture of nerve-muscle junction
When nerve cells excite muscle fibers to flex, getting synaptic proteins and components into the right place can mean the difference between feats of strength or lapses of drowsy lethargy. Several proteins that have been shown to be major players in synaptic transmission have now been studied using a flash-freeze physical-fixation technique that reveals new details of their location and fu...SilverSNAP (R) Stain for Mass Spectrometry from Pierce Biotechnology, Inc.
Description:Introducing SilverSNAP Stain for Mass Spectrometry Applications In the age of the proteome, mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a powerful protein identification and characterization tool. Silver staining of 2-D gels is now an important intermediate step in a set of procedures that leads ultimately to identification of specific proteins in the proteome by mass fingerprinting methods. Th...Mouse Anti-Human SNAPC5 Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated, Clone 6G10 from Abnova Corporation

Under the shade of a tree or by the side of a bus stand, they snap up conversations with customers while giving them a shave or a haircut. But the barbers // aren't quite indulging in idle chitchat: they are talking HIV/AIDS. In a novel initiative, 85 roadside barbers in the busy commercialised neighbourhood of Lajpat Nagar in south Delhi are spreading awareness about the disease and...Snappy Mobiles Known To Cause Snappish Behavior in Families
There is a flip side to cell phones as well! The Cell Boom, a boon to communication has turned a bane to family relationships, according to a recent study.// As part of the study, more than a thousand steady mobile phone users were tracked for over 2 years. The study revealed a definite decline in satisfied family relationships, attributed to constant mobile communication that invad...Snap Shot of the Drinking Habits of the Scots and Its Associated Memory Loss
According to the survey conducted by the Scottish executives large numbers of Scots is experiencing memory loss as a result of binge// drinking. The researchers feel that memory loss is associated with long-term brain damage. It can also leave young women in vulnerable situations, becoming a target for rapists. This survey targeted young people in four cities found that a large percenta...A Snapshot of the Findings of the National Family Health Survey in India
The National Family Health Survey 2005-06 has revealed the extent of spousal violence//, HIV rates in families, as well data on the injustice meted out to unmarried women. The survey spanned 29 states and was supported by a network f 30 organizations who were involved in accumulating data. There was an evident improvement in certain categories.
