...team found that finches within the genus Geospiza all have beaks differentiated only by scaling transformations, with only a single gene controlling each of the three dimensions. But for Galápagos finches outside of Geospiza, higher order mathematical transformations were necessary to account for the physical differences in the beaks, Campàs-Rigau said...
According to team leader Abzhanov, the findings shed new light on the work of D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson, a Scottish biologist who used mathematics in the early 20th century to explore the morphological relationships between different species of crabs...
...laboratory of Jonathan Beckwith, a professor of microbiology and molecular genetics at Harvard Medical School, a team of researchers have discovered that warfarin—a compound found in blood thinners—interferes with not only the process of blood coagulation, but also the growth of the bacteria molecule that causes tuberculosis...
Beckwith’s team worked off of discoveries made in Rapoport’s lab, including the structure and function of the VKOR protein, its formation of disulfide bridges, and its method of inhibiting the VKOR enzyme...
Beckwith’s team is currently developing screening assays for various anticoagulants and antibiotics to test whether they inhibit VKOR’s enzymatic activity. Dutton said they hope to “find other small molecules that would be stronger inhibitors that could potentially serve as starting points for new TB antibiotics...
