Sydney creative agency, Protein recently released the first in their 'Ask The' series of educational Apps. The App for iPhone was selected in the Top 25 Food Apps for mobile by Australia's leading newspaper, The Sydney Morning Herald, after only 2 months on release. (PRWEB) March 20, 2012 'Ask The Cheesemonger' is the flagship mobile App in the 'Ask The…' series of Apps following the huge success of 'Ask The Butcher'. Protein received the 2009 Commercial Creativity Award for...
A new method to reveal the structure of proteins could help researchers understand biological molecules – both those involved in causing disease and those performing critical functions in healthy cells. For roughly a decade, a technique called solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has allowed researchers to detect the arrangements of atoms in proteins that defy study by traditional laboratory tools such as X-ray crystallography. But translating solid state NMR data...
CARLSBAD, Calif., March 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:LIFE) today announced the launch of GeneArt® Precision TALs, generally referred to as TAL effector proteins (TALE), which will allow researchers the ability to edit genomes and control gene activity with unprecedented precision and reliability.

New integrated circuit design could lead to cheaper, faster DNA sequencing As nanotechnology becomes ever more ubiquitous, researchers are using it to make medical diagnostics smaller, faster, and cheaper, in order to better diagnose diseases, learn more about inherited traits, and more. But as sensors get smaller, measuring them becomes more difficult—there is always a tradeoff between how long any measurement takes to make and how precise it is. And when a signal is very weak, the...
'Identity check' selectively screens single molecules passing through nanopores A novel type of sensor, based on nanometer-scale pores in a semiconductor membrane, is a step closer to practical use in applications such as analyzing the protein contents of a single cell. Researchers pioneering single-molecule nanopore sensor technology at the Technische Universität München (TUM) have shown its potential through a succession of experiments over the past few years. Now, in collaboration...

Protica is pleased to announce that its protein shot, Profect®, can be used as a nutritional aid for pregnant women Whitehall, PA (PRWEB) March 14, 2012 Protica is pleased to announce that its protein shot, Profect®, can be used as a nutritional aid for pregnant women. Protica designed Profect to be a nutritional source for many medical applications including pregnancy. With the idea that pregnancy is one of the physiological states in a woman’s life that is nutritionally...
CLIF Builder’s® Finds Protein Knowledge Lagging Behind Other Health and Fitness Topics Emeryville, Calif. (PRWEB) March 14, 2012 CLIF Builder’s®, the great tasting high-protein bar, revealed the results of a new survey today showing that most Americans are unsure of how much protein they need on a daily basis, even though they know other essential health and fitness facts like how much water to drink and how often they should exercise. Just 35 percent of Americans understand...
New method of monitoring protein molecules using gold nanoparticles Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany have developed a new method of observing individual proteins. Detailed knowledge of the dynamics of proteins is necessary in order to understand the related biological processes that occur on the molecular level. To date, this information has been obtained by means of labeling proteins with fluorescent substances, but unfortunately this changes the proteins...
ALBANY, Ga., March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A major new study, "Red Meat Consumption and Mortality" concludes that red meat is associated with a thirteen percent increased risk of death and substitution of other healthy protein sources for red meat lowers mortality risk, with nuts being the top choice. Over half the nuts eaten in the US are peanuts and they have more protein than any other nut. The study followed more than 120,000 people over 28 years. It was published online in...
