A Canadian biochemistry professor has made a startling discovery: University research work increases global warming. Hervé Philippe, a Université de Montréal professor of biochemistry, is a committed environmentalist who found that his own research produces 44 tonnes of CO2 per year. The average American citizen produces 20 tonnes. . . . Philippe has a well-established international [...]...

... deeply without a department to guide me. This is what I will remember most about Cambridge. As for Biochemistry, I hope students in either country end up in the same place as professionals. Any differences leading up to that point are just differences in order. *** One thing I notice about Cambridge students is that few things stand in their way of enjoying life. Along with parties and such,...

Your fate can be determined by tiny events. Imagine you live in the city and you walk everywhere to get exercise - you are healthy and not afraid of getting mugged. You almost never eat breakfast so you don't stop at the donut shop on the way to work, until one day the manager replaces the girl at the counter with her pretty red-haired younger sister.

... co-authored by Mary Griffin Krone and Joan-Emma Shea, both from the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California at Santa Barbara. The group studied the effects caused by the Dutch Mutation, a mutation that has been discovered to be associated with a specific, hereditary form of Alzheimer’s disease. The mutation is small, the simple substitution of one DNA base...

Forms of early-onset Alzheimer's disease are known to be hereditary, caused by single point mutations. Now, using sophisticated computer simulations, a team of physical chemists have shown precisely how the substitution of one amino acid for one that is very similar causes a subtle change in the shape of a peptide and tips a very delicate chemical balance, creating build-up of the toxic by-products...

The average American produces 20 tones of carbon dioxide each year - equal to the weight of about 4 large elephants. Doesn't everyone measure carbon dioxide in elephants ? One of those Americans happens to be biochemistry professor Hervé Philippe from the Université de Montréal. Philippe was surprised to discover that his scientific work (computers, air travel, and air conditioning) added up...

Computational biochemistry: Old enzymes, new tricks Nature 453, 164 (2008). doi:10.1038/453164a Authors: Giovanna Ghirlanda Although enzymes are superb catalysts, their range of reactions is limited to those that support life. Their repertoire could be expanded by a method that allows artificial enzymes to be made from scratch.

Do you know that your beliefs are so much more powerful, so much so that they can literally affect your biochemistry? Have you ever heard of the placebo effect? Doctors wanted to investigate if a patient's belief in a drug could actually made a difference in bringing out the effectiveness in helping and curing the patient. [...]
