...Vancomycins is an amino acid-derived product," Evans says. "We have the chemistry in place for building any amino acid-based products--and rapidly...
Computer-assisted searches comparing the receptor's amino acid sequence to other known proteins found that they were slightly similar to two amino acid importing proteins of yeast. Experiments with frog eggs proved that the protein did in fact play a role similar to that of these previously discovered proteins...
...group is currently studying two inherited diseases in humans, lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) and cystinuria. Both diseases affect the ability of cells to import certain amino acids. Researchers believe that LPI, which creates a toxicity for proteins containing a certain amino acid, lysine, may be caused by a mutation in the protein under study...
...blowup of 1991 rained volcanic ash on the Philippines and triggered massive mudslides. It also lofted 15 million to 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide high into the atmosphere, creating droplets of sulfuric acid that will reflect some of the sun's heat back into space. That could hold off global warming for a few years, but when the volcanic gas dissipates, The earth could make up for lost time and heat up uncomfortably fast...
...pain-killer may very well have direct anticancer properties. Unlike acetaminophen, which acts only on the central nervous system, aspirin (chemical name: acetylsalicylic acid) has an extraordinarily broad range of effects. The reason is that it interferes with the production of a diverse class of substances known as prostaglandins, which are found in nearly every body tissue. (Ibuprofen does too, but in a much more limited...
