Molecular Imaging Technique Helps Observe Proteins’ Reactions in Real Time

Proteins are complex molecules that are responsible for carrying out all of the processes that sustain life. A better understanding of how these molecules perform their functions can be achieved by learning the assembly of their atoms and how the structure of this assembly changes as the atoms react. Until now, no imaging technique has allowed the observation of molecular movement in such speed and detail.

Researchers Resolve Bond Configuration of Intermediates in Complex Chemical Reactions

For the first time, researchers have successfully imaged all of the steps involved in a complicated organic reaction, and subsequently resolved the microscopic mechanisms that account for their behavior. The study was performed by an international team of scientists, including the UPV/EHU's Nano-Bio Spectroscopy Research Group.

Researchers Tune Hardness in Pure Calcite Using Amino Acids

Pure calcite is a weak, fragile mineral that is generally present in chalk. As such, construction engineers do not prefer to use this mineral as a building material. However, if calcite is reinforced by a factor of two or more, similar to the way a mollusk has done to protect itself from predators through an evolutionary process, it could be a suitable building material.

First Instance of Using Anion Receptor to Improve Selectivity for Cation

Atomic charges in chemical solutions are like Switzerland—they strive for neutrality. The tendency to balance charges drives dynamics when charged atoms or molecules, called ions, are present in solutions. Recently, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found new ways to influence selectivity for specific positively charged ions (cations) with the addition of simple receptors, not for cations but rather for negatively charged ions (anions).
