In the 479th Brookhaven Lecture Jörg Schwender describes some of the modeling efforts that he and his collaborators use to explore the biochemical reactions of plant metabolism and predict the characteristics of high-oil plant varieties.
In his lecture, Bioengineer Stephen Quake argues that both physics and biology can be tied together by the use and consequences of precision measurement.
Ya Ha, an associate professor of pharmacology at the Yale University School of Medicine explains that genetic mutations in the protein presenilin are known to cause Alzheimer’s disease. Ha describes research into presenilin’s precise shape and function which could reveal new opportunities to treat or prevent early-onset Alzheimer’s.
In a first step toward achieving industrial-scale green production, scientists from BNL and collaborators at Dow AgroSciences report engineering a plant that produces industrially relevant levels of chemicals that could potentially be used to make plastics.
Determining the structure of the ribosome has made it possible for Ramakrishnan and his colleagues to image antibiotics bound to the ribosome, leading to a better understanding of their action, which could help in the development of novel drugs. In his talk, Ramakrishnan conveys the excitement in the field that has arisen as a result of these discoveries.
Building on the idea of using DNA to link up nanoparticles scientists at Brookhaven National Lab have designed a molecular assembly line for high-precision nano-construction. Nanofabrication is essential for exploiting the unique properties of nanoparticles in applications such as biological sensors and devices for converting sunlight to electricity.
Brookhaven biochemist John Shanklin discusses the engineering of biofuels and plant-derived replacements for petro-chemicals.
