Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has led to new clues regarding the particularly virulent behaviour of the influenza virus that caused tens of millions of deaths at the end of World War I.
NMR reveals cancer clue: p53 activity
NMR reveals cancer clue: p53 activity
http://www.spectroscopynow.com/common/images/thumbnails/14f25d494fb.jpgUS researchers have used NMR spectroscopy in a study of the activity of the tumour suppressor protein, p53. Their work reveals the mechanism by which p53 triggers programmed cell death (apoptosis) and may have implications for understanding the development of various forms of cancer and perhaps lead to new drug discoveries.

Harnessing insulation: Magnetic clue
Harnessing insulation: Magnetic clue
http://www.spectroscopynow.com/common/images/thumbnails/14cb69ea9eb.jpgA subatomic magnetic phenomenon predicted more than sixty years ago has been measured for the first time. The demonstration of van Vleck magnetism could open the door to harnessing topological insulators - hybrid materials that are both conducting and insulating - and may well lead to new approaches to quantum computing, spintronics applications, and much-improved semiconductors.

Alzheimer's disease: NMR pinpoints genetic clue
http://www.spectroscopynow.com/common/images/thumbnails/1438cadfde3.jpgResearchers have turned to solution NMR spectroscopy to help them characterise the structure and dynamics of the transmembrane portion of the protein amyloid precursor protein, APP, of which there are two genetic variants linked to familial, or hereditary Alzheimer's disease.

Misbehaving Protein May Provide Clue to Alzheimer's Drug
Bloomberg
Nuclear Imaging Tools Researchers used nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and computer modeling to see how proteins assemble themselves. Many of the intermediate states of folding last a millisecond or less, said Lewis Kay, a study author and a ...

Spliced: NMR reveals structural clue to transcription
Spliced: NMR reveals structural clue to transcription
Biomolecular NMR experts in Germany have discovered how the U2AF protein facilitates the process of splicing used by cells to make the correct template for RNA transcription and the subsequent expression of proteins.
