Anthropogenic chemical carbon cycle for sustainable future
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
  
Nature's photosynthesis uses the sun's energy with chlorophyll in plants as a catalyst to recycle carbon dioxide and water into new plant life. Only given sufficient geological time, millions of years, can new fossil fuels be formed naturally. The burning of our diminishing fossil fuel reserves is accompanied by large anthropogenic CO2 release, which is outpacing nature's CO2 recycling capability.

Highly sensitive pyrosequencing system with polymer-supported enzymes for high-throughput DNA analysis
Analytical Chemistry Share
  
A highly sensitive massively parallel pyrosequencing system employing a gel matrix to immobilize enzymes at high density in micro-reaction chambers is demonstrated. Reducing the size of micro-reaction chambers in a DNA analyzer is important to achieve a high-throughput utilizing a commercially available detection device or camera.

Chemistry informs the quest to understand anesthetics, make them better
Chemical & Engineering News Share
  
Led by Roderic Eckenhoff of the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, a team of researchers at Penn and the National Institutes of Health's Chemical Genomics Center is trying to gain a better understanding of how general anesthetics work. They are also developing tools to help them search for new anesthetics. And tadpoles are an important part of the process.

Computational chemistry shows way to safer biofuels
Science Daily Share
  
Replacing gasoline and diesel with plant-based bio fuels is crucial to curb climate change. But there are several ways to transform crops to fuel, and some of the methods result in bio fuels that are harmful to health as well as nature. Now a study from the University of Copenhagen shows that it is possible to predict just how toxic the fuel will become without producing a single drop.

Chemists discover most naturally variable protein in dental plaque bacterium
PhysOrg Share
  
Two UC San Diego chemists have discovered the most naturally variable protein known to date in a bacterium that is a key player in the formation of dental plaque. The chemists say they believe the extreme variability of the protein they discovered in the bacterium Treponema denticola evolved to adhere to the hundreds of different kinds of other bacteria that inhabit people's mouths.

Sweet insight: Discovery could speed drug development
Science Daily Share
  
The surface of cells and many biologically active molecules are studded with sugar structures that are not used to store energy, but rather are involved in communication, immunity and inflammation. In a similar manner, sugars attached to drugs can enhance, change or neutralize their effects, says Jon Thorson, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy.
