Keep the Bad Bugs Out
This week on New Matter: Inside the Minds of SLAS Scientists, host Mike Tarselli and guest Lynn Rasmussen (Southern Research) discuss COVID, social distancing, the revelation of lab automation and what it’s like to wear a “personal fume hood” to do her lab work. (They also get into her organization’s seven FDA-approved molecules as well.)

Improving Fatigue Resistance of Dihydropyrene by Encapsulation within a Coordination Cage
Journal of the American Chemical Society
Photochromic molecules undergo reversible isomerization upon irradiation with light at different wavelengths, a process that can alter their physical and chemical properties. For instance, dihydropyrene is a deep-colored compound that isomerizes to light-brown cyclophanediene upon irradiation with visible light. CPD can then isomerize back to DHP upon irradiation with UV light or thermally in the dark.

Concentrating and Releasing Drugs in the Brain with Pinpoint Accuracy
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Scientists at ETH Zurich say they have developed a technique for concentrating and releasing drugs in the brain with much accuracy. This could make it possible in the future to deliver psychiatric and cancer drugs and other medications only to those regions of the brain where this is medically desirable, according to the team.
Today, the researchers add, this is practically impossible — drugs traveling through the bloodstream reach the entire brain and body, which in some cases causes side effects.

Deep Learning Gives Drug Design a Boost
Science Daily
When you take a medication, you want to know precisely what it does. Pharmaceutical companies go through extensive testing to ensure that you do.
With a new deep learning-based technique created at Rice University's Brown School of Engineering, they may soon get a better handle on how drugs in development will perform in the human body.

Medicine Nobel Honors 3 Scientists for Discoveries on Hepatitis C Virus
Science Magazine
The Nobel Committee has awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of the hepatitis C virus, one of the most common causes of liver cancer. The prize was given to Harvey Alter of the U.S. National Institutes of Health; Michael Houghton of the University of Alberta, Edmonton; and Charles Rice of Rockefeller University.
The hepatitis C virus is transmitted via blood.

Alder-Ene-Catalyzing Enzymes Discovered
Chemical & Engineering News
Pericyclic reactions, which involve concerted electron movement and a cyclic transition state, have long been a part of the synthetic chemist’s tool box. But finding enzymes that catalyze such reactions, particularly a class called Alder-ene reactions, has been difficult. A research team has now found Alder-ene enzymes that might be used as biocatalysts to more efficiently make compounds that contain substituted pentenes.

Method Helps Uncover Patterns in SARS-CoV-2's Genetic Mutations
Lab Manager
Drexel University researchers have reported a method to quickly identify and label mutated versions of the virus that causes COVID-19. Their analysis, using information from a global database of genetic information gleaned from coronavirus testing, suggests that there are at least eight to 14 slightly different versions of the virus infecting people in America, some of which are either the same as, or have subsequently evolved from, strains directly from Asia, while others are the same as those found in Europe.

New Techniques Probe Vital and Elusive Proteins
Phys.org
The number of proteins in the human body, collectively known as the proteome, is vast. Somewhere between 80,000 and 400,000 proteins circulate in our cells, tissues and organs, carrying out a broad range of duties essential for life. When proteins go awry, they are responsible for a myriad of serious diseases.
Now, researchers investigate a critically important class of proteins, which adorn the outer membranes of cells.

Matrigel matrix-3D plates are a pre-coated, convenient, off the shelf option that improve productivity and consistency in homogenous assays where 3D structures are grown and assayed directly in the plate. Using a pre-coated option eliminates the need to handle small volume ECM dispensation and helps reduce workflow steps
