Several structurally similar small molecules appear capable of protecting cells from alpha-synuclein toxicity in multiple models of Parkinson's disease, according to Whitehead Institute researchers. Misfolded copies of the alpha-synuclein protein in brain cells are a hallmark of Parkinson's disease...

Many biological processes are determined by how various molecules in substances recognize and bind to each other. One such example is our immune defense, which is governed by molecules, called antibodies, that recognize and bind to foreign molecules, called antigens. In this way antibodies neutralize the alien molecules. The antibody recognizes the antigen because the antibody has a socket that perfectly matches the structure of the antigen...

The composition of integral quantum number particles such as protons and neutrons from the strong confinement of fractional quantum number particles such as quarks is well known in high-energy physics. Now, similar behaviour has been found in condensed-matter physics, in the excitation spectra of a weakly coupled spin-ladder compound.

Force of interaction between magnetic particles grows stronger with increasing distanceAn experiment has confirmed that spinons, particle-like magnetic excitations, can be confined in a magnetic insulator similar to the way elementary quarks are confined within individual protons and neutrons.

VII CHEMICAL REACTIONS Chemical Reaction A chemical reaction preserves the number of atoms and the total mass involved but redistributes the materials into new arrangements. For example, a yellow solid precipitate, lead iodide (PbI 2 ), forms from the mixture of two clear liquids, potassium iodide (KI) and lead nitrate (Pb(NO 3 ) 2 ). Chemical reactions occur when atoms or molecules combine to form products with new properties. Plants and animals are literal chemical factories driven by chemical reactions. Our modern quality of life depends on producing and transforming substances through chemical reactions. A Equilibrium The main force in bringing about chemical reactions ... Read Full Story

Scientists at IBM Research in Zurich have, for the first time, made an atomic-scale resolution image of a single molecule, the hydrocarbon pentacene. Atomic-force microscopy works by scanning a surface with a tiny cantilever whose tip comes to a sharp nanoscale point. As it scans, the cantilever bounces up and down, and data from these movements is compiled to generate a picture of that surface. These microscopes can be used to "see" features much smaller than those visible under light microscopes, whose resolution is limited by the properties of light itself. Atomic-force microscopy literally has atom-scale resolution. Until now it hasn't been possible to ... Read Full Story

Robert Hooke (1635 - 1702) was an English physicist. He was the first to coin the word “cell” to describe the basic unit of life (he thought that plant cells, when magnified through a microscope, looked like “cellula,” the living quarters of monks). Read Full Story
