2008-05-21 08:02:00 by Michael in Medgadget
...protein domain in a bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens , an organism known for its ability to fix some heavy metals. The research might have future implications for such things as developing methods to decontaminate polluted or radioactive land sites, or possibly, diagnostics. The researchers, led by Argonne senior biophysicist Marianne...

...proteins to allow the study of their interactions Here's what the authors note in the study: One protein partner is fused to Escherichia coli biotin ligase (BirA), while the other protein partner is fused to BirAs acceptor peptide (AP) substrate. If the two proteins interact, BirA will catalyze site-specific biotinylation of AP, which can be...

Protein bars are not gadgets but they may as well be. They make life better and more convenient in a compact package. The best protein bars taste good, and dont have that cardboard taste. I play pickleball a few days a week in the morning and when I am finished I am ravenous. But I am on the go and need quick but healthy snack bars to take the...

...protein-based storage, which we haven't heard much of in quite a while . That now looks to have changed, however, with some researchers in Japan boasting that they've made some considerable progress with the so-called "recordable proteins." To that end, Tetsuro Majima and his team reportedly employed a special fluorescent protein to record an...
