Researchers have used NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to help them understand the chemistry associated with modifications to DNA that are associated with autoimmune disease and cancer. The work offers new clues to the behaviour of modified bases and could open up avenues to new therapeutic agents.

Alzheimer's analysed: New clues in brain disease
http://www.spectroscopynow.com/common/images/thumbnails/13af4d7f690.jpgRecent studies have added weight to the idea that amyloid-beta is a causative agent in Alzheimer's disease rather than the plaques formed from these chunks of misfolded peptide that deposit in the diseased brain. Now, European researchers have used REAPDOR solid-state NMR spectroscopy to analyse the hydrogen bonds in the tiny fibrils of amyloid-beta peptide, offering another perspective on this neurodegenerative disorder.

NMR metabolic and physiological markers of therapeutic response.
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2011;701:129-35
Authors: Lee SC, Poptani H, Delikatny EJ, Pickup S, Nelson DS, Schuster SJ, Nasta SD, Svoboda J, Goldstein SC, Wallace SG, Loevner LA, Mellon EA, Reddy R, Glickson JD
Identification of reliable metabolic and physiological NMR detectable markers for prediction and early detection of therapeutic response is essential to enabling NMR guided individualized therapy for cancer. Because...
