| Magnetic attraction: Microchip demonstrates concept of 'MRAM for biomolecules' Posted: 19 Oct 2011 06:28 PM PDT Researchers have developed a low-power microchip that uses a combination of microfluidics and magnetic switches to trap and transport magnetic beads. The novel transport chip may have applications in biotechnology and medical diagnostics.  |
| Improving training efficiency in horses Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:55 AM PDT People generally exercise to lose fat or build up muscle but it is an unfortunate consequence of hard training that muscle is often lost. To counter this effect, people may elect to take various dietary supplements – legal or otherwise. But what can legally be done to help train sport horses? Recent work has shown that a special mixture of amino acids and proteins is able to prevent muscle breakdown in horses following exercise.  |
| Photosynthesis: Putting light-harvesters on the spot Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:45 AM PDT Researchers now describe how the light-harvesting complexes required for photosynthesis get to their site of action in the plant cell. The team has demonstrated for the first time that a membrane protein interacts with a single soluble protein to anchor the subunits of the light-harvesting complexes in the membrane. The researchers propose a new model that explains the integration into the membrane through the formation of a pore.  |
