Researchers find link between blood clotting and immune response
02 April, 2013Rice University researchers have found an unexpected link between a protein that triggers the formation of blood clots and other proteins that are essential for the body’s immune system. The find could lead to new treatments for thousands of patients who suffer from inflammatory diseases and disorders that cause abnormal blood clotting.
Synchrotron shines light on cancer proteins
19 March, 2013Researchers at The University of Western Australia and the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research have revealed a groundbreaking new molecular structure formed by two human proteins involved in turning genes on and off in cancer.
Scientists discover why some proteins are speedier than others
13 March, 2013Scientists at the University of Bath have solved a problem that has frustrated biologists for years - why different parts of proteins are made at different rates.
New path discovered for future generation of glucose-measuring biosensors
18 January, 2013CIC bioGUNE researchers have opened a new pathway for the future development of biosensors that enable the measurement of glucose in the blood and are also believed to be reliable with other fluids, such as urine.
Quantifying protein-protein binding
30 November, 2012 by Daniel Some, Principal Scientist, Wyatt Technology CorporationComposition-gradient static light scattering can be used to determine the binding affinity and stoichiometry of reversible protein complexes, without tagging, immobilisation or other modifications. The method can distinguish and quantify multiple simultaneous stoichiometries.
