Crystallized alternative DNA structure sheds light on insulin and diabetes
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, computing
The crystal structure the scientists developed can enable computational-based drug discovery to be used to target the i-motifs from the insulin gene, because when scientists know the specific 3D shape, they can design molecules digitally and model them to see whether they will fit.
Scientists can then develop new drugs using particular chemicals when they know which ones will fit the drug target best—a process called rational design.
As the first crystal structure of this type, the researchers say it will also be useful as a model for other targets in the genome, besides the insulin gene, which form this shape of DNA.

Psychologists reveals the morbid reason we take so many selfies
Posted by Rx Sobolewski in category: mobile phones
Why do we take so many selfies? Because we are afraid of dying, say psychologists.
Many of us have phones filled with selfies documenting everything from holidays to duvet days.
But what’s behind the modern fascination with taking photos of ourselves?

A New Breakthrough in Fusion Reactors Could Solve a Major Problem Scientists Have Faced
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: nuclear energy, physics
Building a nuclear fusion reactor capable of providing green energy for homes and industry is the goal of many physicists around the world, but many roadblocks stand between our present and this green energy future. While some of those hurdles have been overcome, building robust materials capable of surviving the hellish conditions inside tokamaks is the next frontier.
As engineers construct next-generation fusion reactors, like the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in southern France, labs around the world are working on creating exotic materials capable of containing super-hot plasma while also generating electricity. One of those labs is MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), which is dedicated to finding ways to make future reactors more robust and reliable.
