SLAS Discovery's December Issue Features Part Two of Special Issue, 'Membrane Proteins: New Approaches to Probes, Technologies and Drug Design'
SLAS
The December issue of SLAS Discovery features part two of the special issue, "Membrane Proteins: New Approaches to Probes, Technologies and Drug Design." Guest Editor Veli-Pekka Jaakola, Ph.D., (Confo Therapeutics, Belgium) includes a series of articles focusing on the technologies required to develop the chemical and biological applications needed as discussed in part one, featured in October's SLAS Discovery. As membrane proteins have become highly sought-after targets for the design of novel drugs, new methods for screening are also emerging. The articles featured focus on new screening tools and assays that find new chemical matter for medically relevant membrane protein targets, as well as an overview of a new and emerging protein-lipid reconstitution methodology methodology utilizing Styrene Maleic Acid (SMA) polymers.

SLAS Technology's December Cover Article Now Available: 'Automated System for Small-Population Single-Particle Processing Enabled by Exclusive Liquid Repellency'
SLAS
Next month's SLAS Technology features the cover article, "Automated System for Small-Population Single-Particle Processing Enabled by Exclusive Liquid Repellency," outlining the work of Chao Li, Ph.D., David J. Niles, Ph.D., Duane S. Juang, Ph.D., Joshua M. Lang, Ph.D., and David J. Beebe, Ph.D., (University of Wisconsin-Madison). In their review, the researchers describe how they combined a robotic liquid handler, an automated microscopic imaging system and real-time image-processing software for single-particle identification to create an automated platform using exclusive liquid repellency (ELR) microdrops for single-particle isolation, identification and retrieval.

Highly Strained, Radially π-Conjugated Porphyrinylene Nanohoops
Journal of the American Chemical Society
Small π-conjugated nanohoops are difficult to prepare, but offer an excellent platform for studying the interplay between strain and optoelectronic properties, and, increasingly, these shape-persistent macrocycles find uses in host–guest chemistry and self-assembly. We report the synthesis of a new family of radially π-conjugated porphyrinylene/phenylene nanohoops.

CRISPR and Nanopore Sequencing Shed New Light on Genome's Dark Matter
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Expansions of short tandem repeats in DNA are genetic variants that have been implicated in multiple neuropsychiatric and other disorders, but which are hard to analyze using current methods. Researchers in Germany, led by a team at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, have now developed a method that combines CRISPR-Cas technology with nanopore sequencing and stem cells, to evaluate in detail these previously inaccessible regions of the genome.

This Lab on Wheels Could Be a Game-Changer During the Next Ebola Outbreak, Scientists Say
Science Magazine
During the next Ebola outbreak, this brand new vehicle might come to the rescue. It's a lab on wheels that some scientists say could greatly improve the response to disease outbreaks and epidemics. It can be flown into trouble spots by plane and driven to even the most remote locations, and it has everything on board needed to rapidly diagnose patients or carry out research studies.

Microbes Harvest Electrons: Novel Process Discovered
Science Daily
Bacteria don't have mouths, so they need another way to bring their fuel into their bodies. New research from Washington University in St. Louis reveals how one such bacteria pulls in electrons straight from an electrode source. The work from the laboratory of Arpita Bose, assistant professor of biology in Arts & Sciences, was published in the scientific journal mBio.

Scientists Develop a Method for Studying the Structure of Self-Organizing Materials
Lab Manager
An international group of scientists, including Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University professor Anatoliy Snigirev, has published an article that proposes a new method for studying the structure of complexly organized materials of both artificial and natural origin. The article was published by the Journal of Applied Crystallography.

Using Gene Scissors to Detect Diseases
Phys.org
CRISPR/Cas technology can do more than alter genes. A research team at the University of Freiburg is using what are known as gene scissors — which scientists can use to edit genetic material — in order to better diagnose diseases such as cancer. In a study, the researchers introduce a microfluidic chip which recognizes small fragments of RNA, indicating a specific type of cancer more rapidly and precisely than the techniques available up to now.

US EPA Rescinds Chemical Industry Safety Provisions
Chemical & Engineering News
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has finalized an overhaul to its industry Risk Management Program, weakening provisions intended to protect communities and workers from industrial accidents at some 12,500 plants that use, make or store some of the world's most dangerous chemicals.
The RMP rule goes back to 1990 but was revised after a deadly ammonium nitrate fertilizer explosion in West, Texas, in 2013.

Technical Bias Widespread in RNA-Seq Datasets
The Scientist
RNA sequencing is a popular tool among molecular biologists, because it allows them to examine gene expression patterns in DNA. However, the technique is susceptible to experimental artifacts, which can lead to misinterpreted findings. According to a study published in PLOS Biology, one such bias, which is associated with gene length, is widespread in many published datasets.
