Michael Landreh shows how washing proteins with soap reveals new clues for drug development
Michael Landreh shows how washing proteins with soap reveals new clues for drug development
Using a trick involving detergent and mass spectrometry, Michael Landreh's group has been able to wash and weigh protein molecules to determine which lipids make the protein work. The findings may help for the development of new drugs including antibiotics and cancer therapies. Published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition.

David Lane: How to lose tumor suppression
David Lane: How to lose tumor suppression
David Philip Lane publishes in Science with an article entitled "How to lose tumor suppression". The tumor suppressor gene, TP53, is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer. The resulting loss of activity of the encoded protein, p53, causes genetic instability and resistance to chemotherapy.
