Using a sensitive, single-molecule measurement technique, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have observed the life cycle of RecA, a protein that plays a major role in repairing damaged DNA. The protein forms a filament, which grows and shrinks primarily by one monomer ...UCSF researchers identify new drug target for Kaposi's sarcoma

During ATRP, scientists produce a complex polymer structure using a special catalyst to add one or a few monomer units at a time to a growing polymer chain. ATRP requires a balance between two species of copper (Cu) catalyst, CuI and CuII. But as an ATRP reaction...Duke Chemists Isolating Individual Molecules Of Toxic Protein In Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease
