‘Choosy’ enzymes hit pause to find genes that fit
Researchers at Yale’s Institute of Biomolecular Design and Discovery have devised a new way to measure one of the early ‘pause points’ in gene expression, when enzymes ‘choose’ which genes are turned on and off. Their findings were published today in Molecular Cell
“The ground beneath our feet, the entire globe, is electrically wired”
A new study from the Malvankar Lab at the Microbial Sciences Institute has revealed the previously hidden structure of hair-like proteins inside bacterial nanowires – effectively the molecular on-off switch for nature’s “electric grid”
Analysis unlocks secret of the Vinland Map — it’s a fake
Pairing Yale Library conservators with a team of scientists at the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, the most thorough analysis yet performed on the infamous Vinland Map has unlocked its greatest secret
Yale scientists reveal molecular pathway for smarter breast cancer drugs
A discovery by the lab of Jesse Rinehart has cast new light on the behavior of aggressive breast cancer, revealing the molecular pathway of a single key protein and identifying a means of targeting it for therapy
Cells create own detergent to clean up infections
Researchers at the Systems Biology Institute and the Nanobiology Institute have teamed up to discover a powerful weapon in the arsenal of non-immune system cells — a protein that acts like a detergent to wipe out invading pathogens much like the way that Ajax cleans dirty dishes
$8.5M federal grant aims for big impact from small molecules in the gut
Yale researchers across a range of disciplines are coming together to explore the ‘metabolome’, with the results expected to have profound functional consequences in human health and disease
