A new terpene synthase
Chemical & Engineering News Share
Many plants and insects produce a curious family of bioactive cyclic terpene molecules called iridoids. Now, a team of researchers led by biochemist Sarah E. O'Connor and postdoc Fernando Geu-Flores at the John Innes Centre, in Norwich, England, have discovered the plant enzyme responsible for turning monoterpenes into these cyclic compounds.

You are most likely to die at 11 a.m.
Yahoo Share
Particularly when you're older, you're 14 percent more likely to die on your birthday than on any other day of the year. Particularly when you live in certain geographical areas, you're 13 percent more likely to die after getting paid. And particularly when you're human, you're more likely to die in the late morning — around 11 a.m., specifically — than at any other time during the day.

Giving graphene the bends makes it transistor-ready
New Scientist Share
Sometimes bending something destroys it, but graphene grown on a rippling surface develops the semiconducting properties required for it to act as a transistor. The technique could be what's needed for the wonder material to finally replace silicon as the bedrock of computing.

Decrypting cryptochrome: Revealing the molecular identity of the photoactivation reaction
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
Migrating birds fly thousands of miles or more, often without visual cues and in treacherous winds, yet keep direction. They employ for this purpose, apparently as a powerful navigational tool, the photoreceptor protein cryptochrome to sense the geomagnetic field. The unique biological function of cryptochrome supposedly arises from a photoactivation reaction involving radical pair formation through electron transfer.

Study reveals the proteins expressed by human cytomegalovirus
eBioNews Share
New findings reveal the surprisingly complex protein-coding capacity of the human cytomegalovirus, or HCMV, and provide the first steps toward understanding how the virus manipulates human cells during infection. The genome of the HCMV was first sequenced over 20 years ago, but researchers have now investigated the proteome — the complete set of expressed proteins — of this common pathogen as well.
