Artemisinin goes with the flow
Chemical & Engineering News Share
  
Gaining access to the antimalarial compound artemisinin could become easier and less expensive, thanks to a continuous-flow synthetic procedure developed by researchers in Germany. The new procedure improves upon current synthetic approaches, according to its inventors, and offers a more reliable route to the compound than extraction from its natural source, the plant Artemisia annua.

Axial structure of the Pd(II) aqua ion in solution
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
  
Solution chemistry of Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes is relevant to many fields of chemistry given the widespread applications of their compounds in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, intermediate reaction synthesis and antitumoral drugs. The well-defined square-planar arrangement of their complexes contrasts with the rather diffuse axial environment in solution.

Dutch team: Different salt slows down DNA in nanopore
Genome Web Share
  
One of the biggest challenges with DNA nanopore sequencing is that DNA zooms through the pore too fast to take measurements with single-base resolution a hurdle that has so far limited the approach. Researchers have been working on various ways to put the brakes on the molecule, but now a team of scientists in the Netherlands has found a surprisingly simple way to slow down DNA translocation: to use a different salt in the testing solution.

Easier testing for diabetics? Biochip measures glucose in saliva, not blood
Science Daily Share
  
Engineers at Brown University have designed a biological device that can measure glucose concentrations in human saliva. The technique could eliminate the need for diabetics to draw blood to check their glucose levels. The biochip uses plasmonic interferometers and could be used to measure a range of biological and environmental substances.

A tiny transistor hooks up to individual proteins in human tears
Popular Science Share
  
Wiretapping an enzyme and listening as it unfolds could shed new light on the way proteins work, allowing researchers to monitor structural changes over a longer period of time than was previously possible. To do it, scientists tethered a nanoscale transistor to a molecule found in human tears. Understanding how proteins fold is a key challenge in biology making synthetic versions is about much more than their molecular contents.

Magic mushrooms trip up brain activity
Live Science Share
  
The active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms decreases brain activity, possibly explaining the vivid, mind-bending effects of the drug, a new study finds. The decreases were focused in regions that serve as crossroads for information in the brain, meaning that information may flow more freely in a brain on mushrooms. The findings could be useful in developing hallucinogenic treatments for some mental disorders.
