Polymer passage takes time: New theory aids researchers studying DNA, protein transportThursday, July 29, 2010 @ 3:22PM(PhysOrg.com) -- Polymer strands wriggle their way through nanometer-sized pores in a membrane to get from here to there and do their jobs. New theoretical research by Rice University scientists quantifies precisely how long the journey takes.

Polymer passage takes timeThursday, July 29, 2010 @ 3:01PM( Rice University ) Rice University researchers have created a theoretical method to calculate the time it takes long-chain polymers to pass through nano-sized pores in membranes. The researchers studied how membrane pore geometry affects the translocation of long polymers. They say the new method, which appears this month in the Journal of Chemical Physics, works for pores of any geometry ...

Super-sizing Cancer Drug Minimizes Side EffectsThursday, July 29, 2010 @ 7:58AMResearchers design a new version of cisplatin that spares the kidneys, letting doctors use higher doses.One of the first chemotherapy drugs given to patients diagnosed with cancer — especially lung, ovarian or breast cancer — is cisplatin, a platinum-containing compound that gums up tumor cells’ DNA. Cisplatin does a good job of killing those tumor cells, but it can also seriously damage the ...

Polymer Passage Takes TimeThursday, July 29, 2010 @ 7:20AMPolymer strands wriggle their way through nanometer-sized pores in a membrane to get from here to there and do their jobs. New theoretical research by Rice University scientists quantifies precisely how long the journey takes. That's a good thing to know for scientists studying the transport of RNA, DNA and proteins -- all of which count as polymers -- or those who are developing membranes for ...

For Mexicans, Could the Future Hold Long Hair, Love Beads, Peace Signs and Brown Rice?Wednesday, July 28, 2010 @ 4:27PMDear Mexican: As an old gringo who calls himself a gringo (not a gabacho), I study Mexican culture and ask myself, "Where have I seen this before?" The answer invariably is: 1950s America, that's where. Current Mexican culture in the United States is about 50 years behind current American cult...

RAGBRAI attracts more than 10,000 bicyclists to the weeklong ride across Iowa, and these pedalers are a sight to behold.Tuesday, July 27, 2010 @ 3:21PMThe oldest and largest cross-state, weeklong bike ride in the world will pass less than 200 miles from where most of you are reading this newspaper. It will happen this week in Iowa, as it has in the last full week of July for the past 37 years. As a participant in 14 of those rides, I urge you to play hooky and drive south to experience the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa ...

Home-based businesses sproutingTuesday, July 27, 2010 @ 12:33PMSeabridge's Mystic Orbs Catherine Seabridge of Happy Valley made a business out of a peculiar hobby. With a mixture of cement and grout, she created globes that, when studded with colored beads, make for a showy ornament. She also inserts electric lights into the orbs for a soft, colorful glow that she said provides a subtle light for any room. "I find people really like the small ones," she ...

This year’s sockeye run offers up good eatsTuesday, July 27, 2010 @ 12:36AMMedical studies have shown that eating fish is good for your brain. If that is the case, I should be quickly approaching some sort of average intelligence level based on the amount of fresh salmon I have consumed recently. The past five nights I have dined on fresh sockeye salmon three times. And I believe [...]
