Computational chemistry draws for the first time the 'interactive cartographic map' of enzymes during chemical reactions
Phys.org Share
Knowing how enzymes work is key to control the chemical processes involving these biological macromolecules that have countless applications in the fields of medicine and industry. Computational chemistry has enabled to draw for the first time the enzymes "cartographic map" during the catalysis process, including the moment when they are at the point of maximum energy on the way from reactants to products that takes only a femtosecond (the quadrillionth of a second).

Increasing diversity in clinical trials can save lives
Live Science Share
Once considered the last resort for terminally ill patients, clinical trials are dramatically changing patient care by providing earlier access to novel medications. Sadly, minorities remain underrepresented in these trials, despite initiatives by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. National Institutes of Health to encourage the production of clinical-trial data that more accurately reflects real-world diversity.

Stem cell gene therapy for sickle cell disease advances toward clinical trials
Bioscience Technology Share
Researchers have successfully established the foundation for using hematopoietic (blood-producing) stem cells from the bone marrow of patients with sickle cell disease to treat the disease. Sickle cell disease causes the body to produce red blood cells that are formed like the crescent-shaped blade of a sickle, which hinders blood flow in the blood vessels and deprives the body's organs of oxygen.

Facts & figures of the chemical industry
Chemical & Engineering News Share
After a slow 2011, chemical industry executives were ready last year to power up to meet what they hoped would be accelerating demand for their products. But the economy in 2012 did not send any strong currents of growth. This tested the ability of managers to find new ways to maintain profits and keep investors happy. Early in the year, U.S. chemical firms predicted that growth would take hold in the latter half of 2012. They were wrong.

Laser ablation in analytical chemistry
Analytical Chemistry Share
In 2002, we wrote an Analytical Chemistry feature article describing the Physics of Laser Ablation in Microchemical Analysis. In line with the theme of the 2002 article, this manuscript discusses current issues in fundamental research, applications based on detecting photons at the ablation site (LIBS and LAMIS) and by collecting particles for excitation in a secondary source (ICP), and directions for the technology.

Dramatic new treatment push to conquer HIV
New Scientist Share
By treating HIV-positive people earlier and in far greater numbers than ever before, as many as 3 million deaths and 3.5 million new infections could be prevented by 2025. So says the World Health Organization, which proposed a vast scale-up in HIV treatment at the annual International AIDS Society Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Such a change would make 26 million people globally eligible for treatment, up from 16.7 million.

Cutting off the fuel supply: A new approach to the treatment of pancreatic cancer
By Dorothy L. Tengler Share
Pancreatic cancer kills about 38,000 Americans each year and has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. We know pancreatic cancer is a disease caused by damage to the DNA, and these mutations can be inherited from our parents or acquired as we age. After diagnosis with metastatic disease, patients have a life expectancy of three to six months. It is no wonder that researchers are hard at work searching for new treatment possibilities for such a lethal disease.

The weird way alcohol behaves in space
Popular Science Share
A few years back, scientists discovered a giant cloud of hooch floating around in space. The 288 billion-mile cloud of gaseous methanol, an alcohol present in antifreeze and some moonshine presented a conundrum: How do alcohols, which are fairly complex organic molecules, form in space? In the vast expanse of interstellar space, temperatures are so low that chemical reactions shouldn't be able to occur, following the classic rules of chemistry — there's just not enough energy.

Major changes needed for coral reef survival
Science Daily Share
To prevent coral reefs around the world from dying off, deep cuts in carbon dioxide emissions are required, says a new study from Carnegie's Katharine Ricke and Ken Caldeira. They find that all existing coral reefs will be engulfed in inhospitable ocean chemistry conditions by the end of the century if civilization continues along its current emissions trajectory. Their work will be published July 3 by Environmental Research Letters.

Video: Optimized media preparation for genetics and developmental biology
INTEGRA Share
Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, is a commonly used model research organism in genetics, physiology and evolutionary development biology. Successful experiments using drosophila typically depend on optimal husbandry and on providing good fly food quality. In some drosophila labs, hundreds of vials are filled each day with fly food. Researchers at the Centro Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBMSO) in Madrid, Spain have demonstrated how the MEDIACLAVE Media Preparator and the DOSE IT Peristaltic Pump from INTEGRA are able to significantly enhance the efficiency and reproducibility of fly food preparation.
