This week marks the beginning of a new term at many colleges and universities in the USA. To mark the occasion, I've chosen a simple molecule that should be familiar to every undergraduate taking an introductory biochemistry course. Your task is to indentify the molecule and give me its correct common name—the one required on an exam—and the complete, correct IUPAC name. There's a direct
Researchers think they have found a way to stop the bacteria that cause gastroenteritis, tularemia and severe diarrhea from making people sick. "What we have here is a completely novel approach to combating illness," Dr. Vanessa Sperandio, associate professor of microbiology and biochemistry at the University of Texas Southwestern and senior author of a study, said in a statement released Thursday....
PhD position in Department of Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry, Uppsala University Organosilicon chemistry directed towards molecular electronics A new constellation in molecular electronics is being formed at Uppsala University; the Uppsala University UniMolecular Electronics Center (U3MEC) composed of eight different research groups and with focus on molecular electronics based on single or small...
Medical Research News Scientists in the Department of Biology & Biochemistry at the University of Bath have started a three year study into the junctions that hold cells together, giving insight into how cancer cells can [...]
Certain enzymes that synthesize antibiotics play a game of pass the parcel, handing biosynthetic intermediates from one active site to another. A study reveals the dynamic nature of interactions between the enzyme domains. Although crystal structures provide vivid insights into the architecture of enzymes, they reinforce a static picture of the molecules, providing only a snapshot of what a... Nature...

David B. Wilson, Cornell University Professor of Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology: “Which companies will be the leaders of the cellulosic ethanol industry when it becomes commercially viable? The best company is Iogen as they have been working at the pilot plant scale for several years and they understand cellulases. My second would be the Genencor-Dupont [...]

Annatto seeds are used as natural dye but it cannot be considered for concrete dye. Also known as achiote, annatto is produced from the reddish pulp that surrounds the brick red, triangular-shaped seeds. According to Giuliano et al (2003) in their biochemistry study of annatto, annatto serves as the traditional...
Go on over and offer your best wishes to Dr. Ventii. She was just awarded her Ph.D. in cancer biochemistry from Emory University in Atlanta. Karen writes the blog, Science to Life . Congratulations, Karen! Read the comments on this post...
The Wall Street Journal Health Blog discusses this issue. Here is the comment I posted: I am all for weeding out people, but I think that the 2nd semester of O chem is a waste of time. Instead of a 2nd sem of O chem, I would require a semester of med-school level Biochemistry (and use this as a weed out course, in addition to the 1 semester of Ochem). I disagree with the previous comment of getting...
