UW's Rosetta software to unlock secrets of many human proteins
University of Washington TechTransferrecently licensed software that will give scientists a huge advantagein the fight against disease.The software, known as Rosetta, predicts how proteins fold, informationthat is highly valuable to biological and biomedical researchers.UW Tech Transfer's Digital Ventures licensed Rosetta software withoutcharge to the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB), a...UF researchers develop ways to keep the bloom on the rose
They may not be able to make love last, but a team of University of Florida researchers has figured out how to at least make the flowers go the distance. A UF environmental horticulturist has developed ways to extend flower quality and vase life by three or more days through post-harvest techniques so consumers see a difference in the flowers they purchase ?not only on Valentine's Day but...Ancient ants arose 140-168 million years ago
Scientists have used mass spectrometry for decades to determine the chemical composition of samples but rarely has it been used to identify viruses, and never in complex environmental samples. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health recently demonstrated that proteomic mass spectrometry has the potential to be applied for this purpose. Using a two-step process,...S-Protein Agarose from Novagen
Description:...S-Protein Agarose from Novagen
Description:The STag Purification Kits enable rapid analytical to medium scale affinity purification of STag fusion proteins produced from appropriate vectors. Sufficient reagents are provided for purification of up to 1 mg target protein under native or denaturing conditions. Crude samples are incubated with S-protein Agarose, which specifically retains STag fusion proteins. After unbound proteins are washe...S-Protein Agarose from Novagen

Description:Protein A and Protein G bind specifically to Fc regions of many mammalian immunoglobulins. Protein A and Protein G conjugates are commonly used as affinity adsorbents to purify immunoglobulins (antibodies) and immunoglobulin subtypes from serum, hybridoma ascites fluids, tissue culture supernatants and other biological fluids. These reagents are also commonly used to capture immune complexes gene...REC. PROTEIN G - SEPHAROSE from Invitrogen

Stratagene announces a new line of DNA purification products, whichprovide reliable isolation of high-purity miniprep plasmid, PCR product andgel-fractionate...Recovery of DNA from LMP Agarose1
Resolve DNA fragments on a Low Melting Point (LMP) agarose gel in 1x Tris-Acetate-EDTA (TAE) buffer. Tris-Borate-EDTA (TBE) is not recommended as TBE gels are much more difficult to solubilize. Stain gel with Ethidium...UV Nicking of DNA in Agarose Gels for Enhanced Transfer and Detection of Megabase Size DNAs
The transfer efficiency of large (>100 kb) DNAs from agarose gels to membrane is poor unless the DNAs are nicked prior to transfer. Although this has traditionally been accomplished with HCl depurination, UV irradiation (254 nm) provides a faster and more consistent alternative to HCl nicking....Michael Rosencrance deals with medical overload through human-centric IT

The use of refined fossil fuels--especially kerosene, which is sometimes used for heating, cooking, and as a light source--may cause sniffling, wheezing, itching, and other allergy symptoms. Although the exact mechanism is unclear, researchers speculate that the fuels may somehow irritate the nasal lining and set the stage for an inflammatory or allergic response. // The researchers s...Antenatal kerosene exposure endangers child's sight
A research has found that if pregnant women whose jobs require too much exposure to solvents like kerosene, gasoline,glues etc may be more likely to have chilren with defective eyesight. Head researcher Dr. Gideon Koren and colleagues//, from Toronto published this in Jornal of Occupational health. They found that poor vision acuity (sharpness) were more common among children whose mo...Prose Memory Deficits Found To Be Associated With Schizophrenia
There is a close relationship between language functioning and schizophrenia, and verbal memory is a legitimate and important// deficit with significantly negative consequences for real world social functioning. Over the past years, researchers have proposed that some forms of memory are selectively impaired in schizophrenia. To understand the nature of contextual verbal memory impairme...Primrose oil reduces Breast cancer cell growth
Professor Javier Menendez and colleagues from Northwestern University have found supplementation of Oil from evening primrose oil with Herceptin drug found to be effective in reducing the cancer cell growth. // About 30% of breast cancer patients have Her-2/neu receptors (Human Epidermal Growth factor Receptor type 2), which are severe kind of breast cancer that are more aggressive and th...11 Year Old Attains Motherhood And The Teenage Boy Responsible For This Is Prosecuted
An eleven year old girl becomes pregnant because of having unprotected sex with a 15 year old boy. The boy is charged with rape keeping in mind the age of the girl//. The girl is from West Lothian and is now considered to become one of the UK's youngest mothers. She said that she was eager and looking forward to have her child.
