...puzzle of how proteins fold inside cells, a breakthrough that could improve understanding of degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Eugene I. Shakhnovich and his collaborators, graduate students Eric J. Deeds and Isaac A. Hubner, outline their findings in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The computer model simulates the lightning-quick process of microscopic protein folding for up to 10 microseconds, or 1,000 times longer than ever before. “Through a series of dynamic steps,” Shakhnovich explained to The Crimson...

...academic performance, according to an official University history. His son, John Quincy, was the sixth U.S. president. Their descendants would go on to hold a series of legislative and ambassadorial posts, and they would bestow the family name on one of Harvard’s 12 undergraduate Houses. The journal of John Winthrop, the first governor of Massachusetts and the namesake of a House in his own right, will also be digitized as part of the effort. The site will also digitize papers of Winthrop’s family, which would continue to influence Massachusetts politics for centuries to come...
