For decades it has been an open question in the ubiquitin research field how proteins are labeled as being defective or unneeded. In a recent study Brenda Schulman, Director at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Biochemistry, and Gary Kleiger, Chair of Chemistry and Biochemistry Department at University of Las Vegas Nevada, together with their teams were able to visualize this precise mechanism, catalyzed by the Cullin-RING Ligase E3s, for the first time.

It's called Neat, an acronym for naturally engineered aroma technology. The prototype for the specially engineered barware was created by accident in 2002. It all came about because its inventor forgot to run his dishwasher.

Experts who studied an abandoned 100-year-old mine are expressing concerns about a plan to fill in the 1,100-acre site and build a new master-planned community on top of it.

Students and faculty at 15 Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) will grow their research and technology capabilities, collaborate with NASA on research projects, and contribute to the agency’s missions through a new funding opportunity made possible by NASA’s Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP). The MUREP Partnership Annual Notification is providing nearly $900,000 to help selected MSIs develop new technologies for use in space exploration as well as in the commercial marketplace.
