“For the first time we can perform a genome-wide search to identify the entire set of proteins that play a role in a drug's activity,” says study co-author Dr….

New meteorological findings from Leipzig help to improve weather and climate predictions Benjamin Franklin was the first to surmise that, even on a hot…

In order to conduct vibration analyses to determine eigenfrequencies, modal damping, and eigenforms, a test specimen must be set into position and subjected to vibrations. The invention is an arrangement and process that simultaneously enables the free-free positioning of test specimens and the excitation of vibrations.

The new recombinant protein is based on the recently identified Cea1 adhesin from the yeast Pichia pastoris. It provides a high specificity for non-reducing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) ends of non-crystalline chitin, chitin-like polymers, or N-linked glycans, while recognition of glucose, glucosamine, or N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is subordinate.
The technology therefore enables highly specific binding of chitin or chitin-like polymers in the context of biomedical or biotechnological applications.

The new method enables the determination of birefringence from unknown samples in absolute values without a calibration of the apparatus. Furthermore it allows a quantitative analysis of the materials with regard to robustness, elongation at rupture and colour uniformity. The method can easily be integrated in normal polarisation microscopes and provides the possibility of analysing optical retardation with spatial resolution.
