NewsBlog: [Entry posted at 21st February 2006 03:05 AM GMT] This week?s advance online publication of Nature Neuroscience details a neat new technique called FACS-array profiling, which should be of interest to anyone studying central nervous system development.
X. William Yang and colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, used transgenic mice from the GENSAT (gene expression nervous system atlas) project to compare gene... Click to continue

NewsBlog: [Entry posted at 5th February 2006 09:19 PM GMT] Despite the diversity of topics and speakers, some common threads emerged at the joint structural biology meetings in Keystone this past week. First, structural genomics clearly has hit its stride. The US Protein Structure Initiative deposited some 1,300 structures in the Protein Data Bank between 2000 and 2005, RIKEN added 1,347 of its own between 2002 and 2005, and the Structural Genomics Consortium added another 180 in the past 18 months or so. That?s nearly... Click to continue

NewsBlog: [Entry posted at 2nd February 2006 07:11 AM GMT] There?s a pretty slick paper in the February Nature Methods. Alexander Shekhtman, of SUNY-Albany, describes a novel technique called STINT-NMR (for structural interactions using in-cell NMR), which maps a protein?s structural changes in response to protein-protein interactions in vivo.
Shekhtman presented his work Tuesday (Jan. 31) at the Keystone Symposium on Structural Genomics, and I got the chance to talk to him about... Click to continue

NewsBlog: [Entry posted at 1st February 2006 06:31 AM GMT] If they awarded a prize for best seminar title, Zygmunt Derewenda would win it, hand?s down. According to the abstract book for the Keystone Symposium on Structural Genomics, his seminar was to be entitled "Protein Crystallization: From Art to Science." But the University of Virginia researcher decided that was a bit too provocative, so he opted for a more "neutral" title: "Protein Crystallization by Intelligent Design."
Derewenda's point, of course, is that... Click to continue
